How To Sample With an iPad
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Hello everyone! Dj Puzzle here as your guide and today I’d like to show you the basics of sampling with an iPad. This video is for those just starting out, those with very little knowledge of sampling on an iPad. I decided to use Beatmaker 3 because it’s one of the best sample sequencers for iOS in my opinion. We won’t dive deep into advanced sampling in this video perhaps I’ll publishing another one for that. I thought it would be fun to sample from a vinyl record for this one! This Polish jazz record from my collection was perfect because it has lots of isolated samples. I could have went on for a lot time grabbing sounds and playing with them but I wanted to keep the video under 25 mins. Perhaps there will be a part 2 in the near future. Let me know! I have a Patreon account and wanted to thank my patrons. I hope you find this video useful and thanks for the support!! 1900 subscribers so far whoo hoo!!

Parametric Equalizer Audio Unit

Parametric Equalizer Audio Unit

Blue Mangoo Parametric Equalizer is an audio unit plugin, with six bands of filter controls:

– Low cut and high cut with adjustable Q (resonance)
– Two bell filters with adjustable Q
– Low and high shelf filters

This plugin exists because we need an equalizer that is easy to use in the small screen space of an iOS Audio Unit plugin, but still powerful enough to do relatively complex filtering.

Blue Mangoo Parametric EQ

* Blue Mangoo Parametric Equalizer is an AU3 plugin. It runs within an audio unit host app such as Garage Band. It does not run as a standalone app.

Kronecker Update Adds Microtuning!

Kronecker Update Adds Microtuning!

Kronecker is a synthesizer with a mechanism to make sounds many times like a rhythm machine each time you press a keyboard. In addition to synchronizing the trigger speed to the tempo, you can gradually increase the speed or slow it down after pressing the key. This makes it possible to produce synthesizer sounds like bouncing balls and clockwork toys. Kronecker has four emitters that emit sound particles made from FM tones and noise. At the emitter you can specify at what timing the sound particles will be triggered. You can also add effects such as the pitch and tone of particles gradually changing. Particles emitted by the emitter can be processed with two resonators, and you can reproduce sounds like particles jumping on strings and pipes. Kronecker works not only on the iPad but also on the iPhone. It also supports Audio Unit Extensions (AUv3), so you can plug in to AUv3 compatible host. For each screen size, different layouts are designed to be easy to use and intuitive.

Version History 1.1.0 Jun 26, 2018

– New feature: Microtuning
