iPad JAM: GarageBand, Geo Synthesizer, iRig MIDI e Yamaha P95
Marcus Padrini is out with a new video featuring some nice interaction between Ipad synths, the iRig and a Yamaha P95, details below:
Here is a JAM playing with just one iPad running GarageBand and Geo Synthesizer, with the support of Yamaha’s P95 Digital Piano and iRig MIDI. Everything was made live. A little drum loop on SmartDrums, a GB Pad called moonrise and my Lead, released with Geo Synth (Padrini Lead), with some modifications (delay, cutoff and gain).

Nice collaboration between Waves Alchemy and Roland GAIA
Music iOS app Alchemy with Roland Gaia SH-01 acting as controller.
“This is my first piece I did experimenting with the Ipad using a network connection with rtpMIDI. Works well. There’s not much latency, although audio is a bit iffy at times. A future video I will go through the steps to get your Ipad/ Iphone connected to your home network with rtpMIDI.”

Young Meets Old: iPad-Synth Magellan ruled boy Korg PK-13
Korgs PK-13 from the mid-1980s is giving some midi to iPad-App Magellan. Magellan is the bold new professional analog modeling synthesizer for the iPad. Not content with just one synth, we gave Magellan TWO independent polyphonic synth engines. Individually or together, they deliver a new powerful warmth to the sound of iOS music.
Complete with a full effects rack, a total of six oscillators, dual filters per engine, multiple unison stages, extensive modulation matrix, dedicated arpeggiators, powerful MIDI capabilities, and a polyphonic step-sequencer – the aural possibilities with Magellan are infinite!
Magic Flute workshop – use your iPad as Sound Module
Background information on this tutorial below:
The iRig MIDI interface ( $ 60,00) connects the Magic Flute to an iPad to control not only the included SampleTank FREE but also a world of MIDI-compatible apps such as GarageBand.
In this clip reuben shows how it is been done
Both SampleTank, GarageBand and Thumbjam together will supply you with many great sounds. GarageBand has a limited set of sounds and even more limited on types of sounds, but what it does have are quite good. For just $5 it has a great sound bank.
Neither of these are very in-depth in the amount of sound editing capabilities but it is very user friendly!!
It is possible to assign breathcontoll in Sample tank but it is very limited and you need to use 2 extra apps to get the job done: MidiBridge and freewi. Maybe we get better control in the future , time will tell. So far I only could control the modulation wheel, any better results? let us know.
