Recorded a cinematic Rock idea real quick. It’s just a sketch. Synths used iProphet, Microlog, and Sunrizer. Recorded in Cubasis on iPad Air2. Shared the project with singer Chris Catalano for a collab. Lets see where we can take this! I froze all the midi tracks because I found it easier to sketch out audio this way. Eventually I’ll tweak the midis to fit and then print them to audio as isolated tracks with product. This way it will sound less copy and paste.
Record your ideas on the go or create entire music productions from scratch, we’ll leave it up to you! This app is a portable multitrack audio and MIDI recording studio featuring virtual instruments, editing with unlimited undo/redo, mixing, real-time effects, automation and much more!

* Added the option to load and save user presets for effects.

* On the virtual keyboard screen, short tap on Sustain now toggles the sustain on/off. Long-tap will keep sustain for the duration of the tap.
* The soundfont dialog now scrolls to the current soundfont/bank/preset
* When several sound fonts were present, the default sound font was not always set to GeneralUser.sf2, which could lead to problems when importing MIDI files.
* The pop-up menu is now blocked when setting the time stretch point visually
* The rotation knob preference setting did not show the correct value. Solved.
* Automation wasn’t correct when playing loops. Solved.
* Swiping the area above the mixer now scrolls through the mixer channels

* Reduced CPU usage when displaying Toneboosters effects
* When a MIDI program change is encountered and the soundfont does not contain the preset number, the program change is now ignored. Previously, no sound would be produced.
* If a preset is selected in the instrument selection dialog, it will remove any program change from the first second of the MIDI track, to make sure the selected instrument will not be overruled.
* Solved a MIDI loop issue
* Zooming in Edit mode could start editing. Solved.
* Changed several effect parameters that control frequency to behave exponential (BandPass, LowPass, etc.)
* Editing a MIDI clip could result in the first event in the clip not playing. Solved.
* Solved a crash with arming a track in mixer view
* Changing the note length of MIDI events by using the white markers was not always quantised. Solved.
* The IAA play/stop state is now passed correctly.
