Fly Tape DAW Cassette Comparison
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

Hello every body this is Jason Donnelly aka Dj Puzzle reporting for my website ipadloops.com and today I’m going to show you two cool new effects. Both effects emulate an old cassette tape meaning they can make your brand new sparkling mix sound like it was playing back on an old broken down tape player. On one hand we have Fly Tape by MSXII and the other DAW Cassette by Klevgrand. They are both unique in their own way and they were both released just recently within the past couple of weeeks so I wanted to do a sort of comparison review for both in one video. Now I noticed a lot of the demos for these apps show the app on a master buss affecting the whole mix so I wanted to demo them as an insert effect on a single track. In this case a midi track using an AU instrument.

*I should add “Head Quality” in DAW Cassette is the LoFi effect in that one I kinda rushed over it and skipped that info.

Refraktions is an 8-track generative MIDI sequencer with artificial intelligence that processes input over time to create loops tailored to each individual user.

I have to admit I was really excited to purchase this app and then when I did it was a tad disappointing (sorry dev) BUT this new update came today and solved a lot of the issues so I just had to publish a video. I hope you enjoy it!

Trigger Photos and Video With MIDI
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

MIDI has been used to control synthesizers and sequencers for years. It’s easy to use, and there are hundreds of inexpensive controllers. With MIDI Camera, Secret Base Design brings MIDI to iOS photography. Use a MIDI controller, foot pedal, or an app, to take photographs or record video.

MIDI signals can be sent wirelessly, using either WiFi or Bluetooth, or using adapters with a camera connection kit. The precise timing available with MIDI makes it easy to synchronize multiple cameras, or to take carefully spaced photos for time lapse photography. Triggering camera photos and videos electronically can make stop-motion animation easier!

Alfonse Music Subtract

The following video demonstrates what the combination of Korg iMS20 and iElectribe is capable of. Alfonse music (Alfonse, Bristol, Britain UK) shows us a song he composed using just these two apps and an iPad.

All parts were performed using Korg’s iElectribe (beat) and iMS20 (synths) for iPad and each take was videoed as it was played. The parts were then mixed in Logic, adding some side-chain compression and overall mastering goodness.
