Here is a little tune I wrote in Gadget called “Gadgets”. I hope you like it! This song was accepted by APM Music in Hollywood and will be in their library for sync. It will be updated soon and available on my APM page here https://www.apmmusic.com/artists-composers/dj-puzzle – I have a pretty good track record with APM so odds are this song will end up in several TV shows !!
So I’ve been playing around with Gadget a lot lately and I write this little tune I call “Gadgets”. It was inspired by the Gadget Marseille and preset number 020. I did a little sound/patch design, layering, and fine tuning to get all the sounds I wanted specifically in the synth percussion department. Hope you like it!

Pads is basically a wavetable synthesizer with a noise/grain generator and a high cut filter. With a carefully developed ”wobbler” that detunes the waveforms and makes small inconsistencies to several internal parameters and a nice sounding chorus, this synthesizer is able to create some really interesting and non-statical pad sounds.
Noteworthy features:
• AUv3, works with AUv3 compatible hosts like GarageBand, Cubasis, Auria, AUM etc.
• 30 handcrafted presets created by professional musicians
• Filter, Attack and volume can be modulated by velocity
• Controllable grit/grain level, sampled from a real hammond organ with a broken tone wheel
• Controllable wobble factor that adds analogue unpredictability
Important: Pads in stand-alone mode does not support IAA, Audiobus or MIDI. You can try it out using the keyboard at the bottom, but that’s it. We recommend using Pads with AUv3 compatible hosts.
iPhone 6 or later is recommended.
iPad Air 1 or later is recommended.

Multieffect Audioprocessor for iOS. Seven studio quality effect modules for live usage and to enrich your iTunes music library.
### Introductory offer 30% off ###
All effect modules can be used together chained in any order you like.
The Chorus effect is a modulation effect used used to create a richer, thicker sound and add subtle movement. The effect roughly simulates the slight variations in pitch and timing that occur when multiple performers sing or play the same part.
The Delay effect provides you with two different types of delay effects using two delay lines. With Sync mode the delay times can be set by note lengths and are then relative to the currently set tempo. The delayed signal can be feed back to the input for echo effects. You can select between a stereo delay and a ping-pong delay where the echoes bounces across the stereo field.
The Drive effect provides you with different types of distortion from hard clipping to soft distortion simulating analog tube amplifiers and tape machines. The sound balance can be adjusted using a combined High/Lowpass filter.
The distortion algorithm uses oversampling to reduce aliasing artefacts.
The ParaEQ effect is a parametric equalizer with optional graphic editing of Lowpass/Highpass and Bandpass equalizer stage.
The Flanger is composed of two independent delay lines with feedback for the left and the right channel respectively.
The delay time of both delays is modulated by one LFO with adjustable frequency.
For typical flanging effects the delay time should be below 5 milliseconds.
The Phaser is built from an 8-pole allpass filter, which gives you a very short and frequency dependent
delay time. This delay time is modulated by an LFO.
The Reverb effect is used to simulate the sound reflections off walls in different kind of rooms. This reflections
disperse the sound, enriching it by overlapping the sound with its reflection.
This reverb parameter are accessible by the user:
• Tail delay – Sets the amount of time that elapses between the direct sound and the reverberation tail. This time correlates
with the perceived size of the simulated room. The adjustable range is from 0 ms to 300 ms.
• Reverb time – The time the reverb takes to die away by 60dB after the end of the initial sound. This parameter correlates
with the perceived size of the simulated room. The adjustable range is from 50 ms to 100 seconds.
• Room size – The room size parameter sets the average distance between the reflecting walls.
• Diffusion – The Diffusion parameter controls the echo density of the resulting reverberant sound. A higher value
corresponds to a higher echo density which is in most cases more natural sounding.
• Absorption – The Absorption parameter simulates the surface and air absorption of high frequencies. Due to absorption the reverberation time is shorter for high frequencies than for low frequencies. With higher absorption high frequencies will decay much faster.
• Tail stereo – Adjusts the stereo image width of the reverberation tail.
• Tail cutoff / tone – Lowpass and Highpass filter for the reverb tail.
Summary of features:
• Seven studio quality audio effects
• AudioUnit for AUv3 compatible hosts.
• Inter-app audio compatible effect.
• Audiobus 2 compatible with state saving.
• Apply multi effect to any song in your iTunes library.
• Low latency live usage with mic and headphones.

• Ableton Link compatible.
iPad Loops is an iOS music production blog dedicated to exposing the best iPad apps musicians, producers, and Djs. This is not a database of every app. It is, however, one of useful recommendations from someone with many years in music production. I try to update it on a daily basis (ok sometimes every two days) and I do my best to post useful apps only. My name is Jason Donnelly (Dj Puzzle).
Some of the apps that contain my sounds are Synth One, EG Segments, Hammerhead, Retronyms AudioCopy, Audio Evolution Mobile, and iMPC Pro. My work is published by Roland, Antares, Magix, Soundtrack Loops, Sample Logic, Acoustica, Native Instruments, The Grammt Museum and many more.
