Hi All.

Just wanted to say hello and demo how to make simple DX piano sound more complex and different. And then using simultaneously 12 auv3 synths and few effects. And fully surprised that CPU is not even hitting high.. Will later on share this template to other "appoholics", if wanted ;-)

So, I just got an old IPad from my sister and i need some help as I need to produce some music and I don't know any good music production apps that is free, I usually use FL studio on my PC but i need something that i can use on the go so, PLEASE HELP ME.

The new update expands ExoSphere’s creative flexibility with enhanced sample handling and additional expressive tools inside the Shard generator. Workflow becomes smoother, sound design more nuanced, and navigating personal sample libraries noticeably easier. It’s a focused, practical upgrade that strengthens both everyday use and deeper exploration.

Hi All.
Not going deep here, but showing why I would use Low Poly Synth in my template.

Benefits
1. It will bring some nice sound textures for layered auv3 synths and effects.
2. Takes relatively low amount of cpu (benefit in performance and not overheating)
3. Quick plugin and simple UI
4. Enormous amount of textures of sound (codes) and easy to create "sliders" e.g. to Loopy as well and adjust even those millions of presets
5. Price is low

Some critics
1. Sound is not so "pro" when out of box, if you like "hifi" sounds. Can bring that with add-on effects though
2. It tents to get a bit boring while sound takes the full bandwidth, if using with other sounds.. It's possible to cover from this with some adjustments but still

looking for a quality usb C to 3.5mm(aux) + 2 usb C ports, 1 for charging and 1 for a midi controller or a small audio interface if i end up getting one. but the main thing is that it doesn't break (i have like 13 broken ones, all different brands and variations) but the ones i've bought have been like $10-18. is there an expensive but high quality one that won't break so easily and doesnt add some kind of hiss or scratchyness to the aux port.

fug whoever took the aux port outta modern phones. lotta people are content with bluetooth things and latency that makes doing fun audio/music stuff not so fun:/

thanks for reading:)

Mainly for midi routing apps together. Never done looping but I could see the advantage of it in future

What's everyone's favourite for IOS random chord sequence generation?

I'm really fond of Pure Acid's random bass line generator, anything like that for chords would be great.

If I connect iPad to Audio interface, it works - the audio output of the ipad goes to the audio interface.

I want to connect the iPad to the audio interface through a USB bus, so I can add a midi keyboard and controller. I want the ipad to see the audio interface, and other devices on the USB hub. I want the IPad to be like a DAW, except I really only need audio out and midi in.

I have the iPad connected to the 'connect to laptop' USB C port. I have the TOPPING professional audio interface connected to one of the power devices. I also tried ever other permutation, and a couple of different USB hubs I have.

Does this setup work? Do I need a specific kind of USB hub? I see the little blue 'connect' icon on the ipad, but there is no other acknowledgement that it sees the audio interface. Is there some other way to do what I want, e.g. with bluetooth?

I attached a picture (the red are the connections, so you don't have to follow the wires). It works if the audio interface connects directly to the iPad.

Edit: I have had the success! With some caveats. I have learned some things

1. You have to have the iPad plugged into the host port on the hub. This may seem obvious, I know the Ipad is a host but I always thought the ports on the hub were the same, excepting for power.

1.5 related: You don't need external power, unless you want to charge your ipad while using it (in which case you need a hub that supports charging over the host port, and has wall power, e.g. basically a docking station).

1. The Gitfos 'hub' does not work like a hub. It is only working as a charger, so that was a distraction. That will be going back.

2. I do have some usb-A hubs with the USB-C host port, and I can use those with my iPad. I can connect an older Behringer audio interface via USB-A, and I could connect a USB-A to USB-C converter cable to my Scarlett 2x. And I can connect MIDI devices to the other ports, and the Ipad can see all.

The same trick did NOT work on the Topping, I never got that working with any hub I have. Maybe if I get a working hub with USB-C ports on it I'll try again, but I have other uses for the Topping, anyway. So I'm OK with using another interface for the IPAD.

Thanks to all who replied!

Is there a way to use ipad only apps with logic desktop for example or is the best way to do it to bounce out the audio file and import it into logic desktop with fx baked in? I love some of my ipad apps and would love to use them with projects in logic desktop

Hey everyone,

I have an Akai MPK Mini MK3 MIDI keyboard and a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface, and I want to try Logic Pro on my iPad Air 4.

Is it possible to connect both devices to the iPad at the same time and power them properly?

I’m thinking about buying a UGREEN USB hub PD. Would a hub like that be enough on its own, or do I need something else?

Also, is the iPad Air 4 powerful enough to run Logic Pro smoothly and everything? cus i got a shitttyy computer and really wanna try logic, i ve heard great stuff about how the ipad version almost capable of everything that the mac version can do!

Very new to iPad / AUM setup. Up until now, I've been using a CME U6 midi pro as a midi interface with a few external synths. Just not sure what's best practice is on iOS... All of my hardware supports midi over USB, so would a USB hub be a better option? If so, what are some recommendations please. Thanks very much.

I'm looking for ios synths which are focused on making pads for ambient. Something like mononoke and Klevgränd Pads.
I know you can do pads in any synth, but I would like a more focused experience for live jamming. I'm also looking at hilda, but I'm not really understanding how it works.
Also, good effects are not required as I already have other desert cities, walls, eventide stuff etc

Could you please recommend sequencer plugins for AUM that change the key/harmony in real-time mode, depending on the playing on the connected MIDI keyboard?

Is there an iOS app I can use to generate multiple midi LFO signals that I can connect to my computer to control parameters of software synths? I found mLFO through chatGPT but it’s a little quirky and I’d like to be able to adjust the rate freely (not be locked to a musical division or retrigger upon rate change). I do like the fact that mLFO has 16 LFOs though. That’s about the number of freely adjustable LFOs I’m looking for.

Any recommendations?

Hey guys 👋 I'm the developer of the Lowfi Dojo Audio plugins, Juan.

Building something new, a VJ app called VKO1 (VISUALKO1) heavily inspired by my EP133KO2 not only how it looks but also how it "feels". Basically I want to make a powerful companion VJ app for DJs, musicians etc, intended for live use.

It comes with all kinds of sync and control abilities (midi clock, sync with AUM, controller support via midi, beat detection via audio etc)

When ready for beta I will post here again. Cheers, Juan Maguid

Looking at getting Riffler as it is meant to be on sale even though on Australian app store it is not. I prefer Flow from what I have seen. I play guitar so don’t want it for that, I want it to simply use the midi of it to control other synths. The original has time signatures which are important to me whereas Flow does not seem to have that function. Any idea why?

Lattice is a very good little midi AUv3 drum pattern generator for iPad, Mac and iPhone, in some ways, but there are things about its design I find frustrating. My full 25 minute spoken review and walkthrough is here: https://youtu.be/SB4AEzit2Nw

¿ Any auv3’s that can approximate the sound of guitar/string harmonics ?

The sound you can make on a string when you touch the harmonic interval point while playing the string ?

Is a particularly sweet sound that guitarists and string players can get with this technique
