FL Studio Mobile For iPad

App Attack Ep 003 “FL Studio Mobile IAA Animoog Midi Sequence” – Lots of viewers are asking if I would use an iPad when composing for TV shows. I have songs in several TV shows and I do use the iPad from time to time to get ideas started. My favorite app for sequencing midi sequences is FL Studio Mobile. I just really like the piano roll and editing features. They just make sense to me. I also like using IAA (Inter App Audio) when using FL Studio Mobile. IAA is Apple’s proprietary method of routing apps internally. I slammed this little jam down in about 20 minutes. I was inspired by a preset in Animoog. It was used subtly. Other sounds were from the FL Studio Mobile synth.

Download the loops I created in this video here: http://ipadloops.com/free-loops/ipadloops_com_suspense.zip

Thanks for watching and please subscribe so I can continue to create more videos and free loops.

FL Studio Mobile HD allows you to create and save complete multi-track music projects on your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. You can even load the FL Studio Mobile projects into the ‘FL Studio Desktop PC’ version* and take them to the next level.

If it’s a beat on the step sequencer, a melody on the piano roll or a full song on the playlist, FL Studio Mobile has you covered. Never lose that idea again. Get it down and happening wherever you are.

Euclidean Midi Sequencer For iPad

Sequence is a new circular audio sequencer using the euclidean algorithm. Perfect for making polyrhythms, Sequence works well to create all kinds of electronica and techno. The circular patterns generated by Sequence are visualized in a unique geometric form, extending into sound as different rhythms.

Sequence lets players layer up to 8 of these patterns, creating intense polyrhythmic tracks perfect for electronic music. The app comes complete with about 30 classic gamelan and drum samples to toy with, while supporting MIDI for more complex orchestration.

FEATURES:

Eight patterns to play with
30 samples from classic drum machines
MIDI output
Save and load sequences
BPM control

Sequence is NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Nord Beat Step Sequencer For iPad

I have been a huge Nord fan since the day they started. I’ve had every version of the Nord Lead. Right now I own a NL2X and LOVE IT. So happy to see this free sequencer for the Nord Drum.

Nord Beat is a 4-track CoreMIDI Step Sequencer for iPad. Nord Beat is a perfect companion for your Nord Drum and is available for free at the App Store!
Sequencer.

What’s New in Version 2.0.1
* iOS7 fixes
* Added support for 8 Banks
* Loading a song saved with a program will now wait until user answers “yes” or “no” on program change question before loading.

Nord Beat lets you create drum beats in classic 16 step grid with up to 8 patterns and offers great control over velocity. Works seamlessly with the Nord Drum 4-Channel Virtual Analog Drum Synthesizer

Patterns can be played back in two ways: In Sequence Mode, up to 8 patterns can be cued and will play in a chained fashion. Each pattern can be set to repeat up to 8 times to create a song progression.

When Sequence Mode is turned off, a single pattern will loop until you cue another.

Any pattern can be edited while playing and the Copy/Paste function lets you create variations over a pattern very quickly.

There are 3 velocity levels represented by colors, and are easily changed by swiping up or down on the desired notes. The actual velocity values can be altered with the velocity faders for changing accents and dynamics in real-time.

The Shuffle amount can also be changed on the fly and each of the 4 tracks can be muted individually. The Pattern length can be shortened (1-16) while playing for creating breakdowns or alternative time signatures.

Nord Beat also features a Pad Mode that lets you play the Nord Drum (or other MIDI gear) with your fingers and even gives you great control over the velocity! The center zones transmit full velocity and gradually gets lower towards the edges. The pads can be used simultaneously with the sequencer.
Easy Setup

Although designed with the Nord Drum in mind, Nord Beat can be used with any MIDI instrument. Just choose the desired MIDI-channel and Note Numbers in the Nord Beat Settings menu and you’re ready to go!

Midi Sequencer For iPad

Musicians can start tearing it up in the studio with Genome 1.1.0 MIDI Sequencer (GMS), a powerful pattern based MIDI sequencer for the iPad. With GMS you can control all of your MIDI gear and apps* – sequence single patterns or an entire 16 track song.

GMS easily syncs your drum machines and arpeggiators by sending and receiving MIDI clock messages. General MIDI files can be exported and imported for integration with desktop apps**.

Genome MIDI Sequencer is made for accessories like the Alesis ioDock, Line6 MIDI Mobilizer, the Yamaha i-MX1, the iRig MIDI and compatible MIDI devices using the Camera Connection Kit.

Genome also works great for sequencing other iOS apps. Now you can program melodies and basslines for apps like NLog PRO or Sunrizer while keeping a beat synced with Modrum.

IMPORTANT NOTE: GMS does does not produce any sounds by itself. Some MIDI gear, plugins or other music apps that support virtual midi connections are required to use this app.

Here’s what’s new in Genome MIDI Sequencer 1.1.0:

Fixes for playhead visual positioning issues
‘Create’ option for Grooves (create a groove template from a pattern, such as recorded MIDI notes).
Remix Pads
File management – Delete, email, Open in… (for opening files in other apps including Dropbox)
Improvements to Zooming – Zooming in and out should work a little better now in general. When zoomed out, the view now smoothly zooms in instead of abruptly zooming
New zoom mode. In additioned to the standard ‘fixed’ zoom (where X and Y scale is locked together), there’s an ‘advanced’ mode that lets you zoom X and Y are independently zoomable.
OMAC App Fast switch – This allows you to quickly switch between compatible apps (not every app supports this yet) via a menu in Genome. The button for this is on the sequencer page.
Important Change: Genome’s virtual port is no longer ‘on’ by default. You have to enable it via the config menu. The reason for this is that this is a frequent point of confusion for users. Having a virtual port can lead to issues where apps get connected twice (resulting in doubled tempos and other weird cases). It’s only necessary for Genome to have a virtual MIDI port when other apps don’t have one of their own. Only a few apps _don’t_ have virtual ports (such as Animoog), but for the majority of apps you won’t need it on.
Bugfixes and stability improvements

Not in 1.1.0 but being worked on:

MIDI Learn (for binding controllers to Patterns and Song steps) – I had wanted to get this in 1.1.0, but there are important bug fixes that need to get out now. This will be one of the first things I implement for the next update.

Features:
– CoreMIDI, Line6 Mobilizer Mk I & II compatible
– Network MIDI for sending MIDI to other iOS devices and Macs***
– Sends and Receives MIDI Clock Sync, Start and Stop events
– Also sends Note On, Note Off, Pitch Bend, Aftertouch, Channel Pressure and CC’s
– Pattern Based, pattern changes occur on bar boundaries so song stays in sync
– On screen keyboard interface
– Up to 16 simultaneous tracks, unlimited number of patterns
– Song / live modes
– Scales
– Supports background operation for multitasking
– Record incoming CC’s and Notes
– Undo / redo for most actions

* Apps must support virtual MIDI ports
** Supports exporting songs and patterns from GMS and importing MIDI loops (not complete multitrack songs).
*** Your local network conditions will affect performance. The Windows rtpMIDI driver is not officially supported at this time.

Genome is available for $12.99

Free Midi Sequencer For iPad

Looking for an analogue style midi sequencer for your gear? Check this one out. It’s FREE! For both iPhone and iPad.

Little MIDI Machine By Synthetic Bits, LLC is an analog-style MIDI step sequencer app for CoreMIDI and/or the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer interface. This app requires you have a CoreMIDI setup or own the hardware Line 6 Mobilizer MIDI interface hardware accessory for full functionality. With version 3 you can also use Little MIDI to sequence iOS synth apps that support CoreMIDI and background audio!

What’s New in Version 3.0

Virtual MIDI and background audio support, so you can sequence other synth apps
Two sequences for iPhone/Touch version
MIDI input support, enter sequence notes or transpose on the fly

Little MIDI Machine gives you the step sequencing power of a hardware analog sequencer on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch! Program two independent sequencers that send note and velocity MIDI data out on two MIDI channels to control your hardware synthesizers. LittleMM includes many of your favorite hardware sequencer features such as mute and un-mute notes, skip steps, reverse the sequencer, adjustable clock speed, etc.

If you do not have a compatible synth app, a CoreMIDI hardware setup, or a MIDI Mobilizer setup, LittleMidi can generate very basic melodic sounds in place of sending MIDI. This will let you play around with the app and try it out, but it is not a feature that will be developed further and is not the primary purpose of the app. LittleMM is intended to be a MIDI sequencer driving other apps or external MIDI hardware. Check out the info page to see some great apps we recommend using with Little MIDI!

Little Midi Machine is NO LONGER AVAILABLE
