Isabella & Logan drumming in Garageband

Isabella & Logan drumming in Garageband showing off that yes you can indeed use more than 1 smart drummer in a song and vary settings on the fly to get a delicious beat down. I really hope they add the ability to have drummers use other Kits espescially the Taiko Drums from Japan.

Everyone who has been reading this blog of late will not be suprised that we have recently gotten back into music production in a BIG way. We have been recording and doing releases on Youtube here and there but its been building up to this announcement......

Desktop Garageband on an iPadPro using Splashtop

Desktop Garageband on an iPadPro using Splashtop streamer and the IOS app.This is pretty amazing for a $4.99 app I must say. I did not test this extensively. I even tried it on a old iMac from 2006 that I’m running Windows 7 on and it works even on that tho Ableton plus the Splashtop Streamer coupled with its 2 Gig RAM is not a happy combo. The Mac has 16 gigs in it that I did this on. I totally forgot to try running the Mac with the Monitor off to see if I could run as a Headless server. This system is essentially your own Cloud computing system. Access your Mac and Windows PC from practically any mobile device or computer.
Download the Splashtop Personal app for your iPad, iPhone, Android, Kindle Fire, Windows tablet, Windows Phone, and of course Mac or Windows PC.

Novation Launchpad Pro LOVE!

 

Ok, so we recently got the #Novation #LaunchpadPro , it can be pretty expressive. So much so that my Lust for a #Roli #Seaboard Block no longer exists. I’ll try to make a video soon playing #guitar #music via it . The vibrato it can do is soooooooo sweet. So far I’ve really only tested it in the fabulous Open Source FREE #AudioKit Synth One and of course #Apple #Garageband ...... on an #iPad my jaw dropped. It’s that good!

Using the iOS GridInstrument app with External MIDI Synths

Have any of you fine folks tried the #GridInstrument app in IOS with your #Launchpad?


This is a tutorial that shows you how to use the iOS GridInstrument app with external MIDI synthesizers.

GridInstrument is an app that turns your iPhone or iPad into a playable grid (much like the Ableton Push or scale-mode on a Launchpad Pro).

It has a simple sound generator built in, but where it really shines is in its ability to output MIDI data. It has Audiobus 3 support so that you can send MIDI to other apps. It also has MIDI out support so that you can send button presses to outboard hardware or even to a Network MIDI connection.

But the coolest feature of the app by far is that you can hook up your Ableton Launchpad controller directly to it (using the Apple Camera Connection Kit) and it will let you play your Launchpad like a musical instrument.
