@holdernessmedia has announced this free app for remixing tunes by Electronic music artist Landwhale. The UI is based on their Waviary app.
The Landwhale app features introspective, atmospheric electronic music that spans genres from 80s synth-pop to contemporary dub influenced electronica. Vocal samples are twisted into deep, haunting tones that blend seamlessly with lush, moody soundscapes.
The music is simultaneously ambient and beat-oriented, merging other-worldly textures and dense rhythmic patterns in a style that recalls Aphex Twin, Radiohead and Burial.
Midi Studio is a modular MIDI control surface for iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad. It supports sending CoreMidi messages over a Wi-Fi network using the UDP protocol for sending and receiving MIDI messages. The application allows to remote control and receive feedback from software and hardware that implement the MIDI protocols such as Apple Logic Pro/Express, Ableton Live, Max for Live, Cubase, Pro Tools, FL Loops and many others. The interface provides a number of different touch controls to send and receive messages: Faders / Rotary controls / Encoder controls / Push buttons / Toggle buttons / XY pads / LEDs / Labels, etc. Warning: This app is a Midi controller and does not include a sound engine or synth.

Sound designer and recording artist Richard Devine has produced a fresh new set of sounds for Moog’s Animoog iOS Synthesizer.
NOTE: You must update to the latest version of Animoog in order to purchase the Devine Expansion Pack
From ethereal lead sounds to sci-fi insanity, the Devine expansion pack takes total advantage of Animoog’s uniquely expressive keyboard, modulation and timbre array.
The Devine Expansion Pack includes 32 original presets handcrafted by Richard Devine himself. Also included are 43 new Timbres nearly doubling Animoog’s sonic vocabulary.
Richard Devines inspiration for creating The Devine Expansion Pack
“I have been a fan of Animoog since the day it was launched. Animoog’s ability to mix and match classic analogue waveforms and also digital waveforms is amazing!
Being able to sweep, automate, and control them within the Anisotropic Synth Engine is what makes it such an expressive tool for creating new sounds.
With the Devine Expansion Pack, I wanted to develop a sound set that took full advantage of all Animoog’s features.
Something that was unique and could be played musically or controlled chaotically.
The ultimate goal was to create a set of futuristic synth sounds that inspire new ideas and new music.
I hope you all enjoy it,
Richard Devine
Each Expansion Pack for Animoog contains powerful presets that inspire creativity as well as new timbres for creating sounds completely unique to you!
Sascha made this song using the recently released Devine Expansion Pack for Animoog exclusively for Moog. This is the process by which he composed this song, in his own words:
ALL of the Synth sounds you hear are from the Devine Expansion Pack presets via Animoog.
The only non Moog elements are a sampled Kick, Snare, Hi Hat and a small String and Brass sample.The goal: *Only* use Devine Expansion Pack sounds in Animoog sounds and write something musical, like I would in the real world.
Animoog is available for $29.99 iPad and $9.99 iPhone
The following video will demonstrate some tips for getting the best performance and signal possible while recording with the Alesis iO Dock.
PERFORMANCE TIPS
Make sure you are running the latest iPad iOS, the latest iO Dock firmware, and the latest version of any recording apps you plan to use.
As of this posting, the latest versions available are:
• iOS 5.1
• iO Dock firmware 1.0.7
• Garage Band 1.2
From the home screen, select ‘Settings’ and turn ‘Airplane Mode’ to ‘On’. This will disable both Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and will ensure that your music app gets uninterrupted access to your iPad’s processor.
Next, be sure to quit any other open applications. For a walkthrough on quitting background apps, see the following video:
GETTING THE BEST POSSIBLE SIGNAL
GarageBand has many meters and volume sliders. Only one actually shows you your peak audio input level — see 2:14 in the video. Use this level meter as your sole reference when setting the input level knob on the rear of the iO Dock. Your goal when setting the input level is to accurately capture the performance with a good signal level, but without clipping or reaching the right side of the input level meter (0dB).
Once your input level is set properly using the input level meter as your sole reference, then balance the volume of other tracks, and your headphone volume to create a headphone mix that is balanced with your input signal.
Do not adjust your input signal to try to match the level of pre-recorded tracks, or based on what you hear in the headphones. The input is set solely based on the signal on the input level meter.
After recording is finished re-balance the tracks again into a final mix-down.
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.
