Re: Polyphonic Microbrute alternative?
This has taken a nice twist.
Samplr doesn't fill the synth void, but Jesus god is it cool.
I wasn't near an instrument when I downloaded it, so I recorded a bit of humming.
Chopped it up to individual notes, changed the octave, added a filter, and it didn't sound like humming anymore.
And then I played myself. Magic.
Such an intuitive way to manipulate samples.

Oh yeah I know, I just meant the apps themselves. Not all the weird noise-synth apps have any midi interactivity but most of the major apps do.odontophobia wrote:All iOS devices have midi options.Wes Mantooth wrote:Many have a midi option for an external keyboard too!alexa. wrote:Hmmm, I kinda shied away from anything touchpad or smartphoneish, but will have to look into this.

I bought a theremini today, after fucking with my iPad/Animoog a bunch, I realized that that+a theremin could handle 90% of my noise needs. It's backordered until mid january, but I'm still really stoked to get it.

Re: Polyphonic Microbrute alternative?
Yeah Android has some weird hiccup with audio latency, I read that on some message board at least. That was a while ago and maybe it is fixed now, hopefully more music stuff comes to Android, the platform as a whole has more potential than Apple's with the right support.alexa. wrote:Ahhhh, I thought I could get by with my android tablet, but no sir T_T

I don't see a lot of love for Alchemy. Love that app. DM1 and ReBirth are pretty good for drums. Novation Launchkey is fun, but I haven't spent much time with it.

Re: Polyphonic Microbrute alternative?
Best drums are IMO Akai iMPC and iMPC Pro. Korg's iElectribe is close 2nd. iMS20 is completely crazy and synthetic and painful to use but the drum sounds you can get out of it are awesome.
DM1 doesn't really sound good when you record it.

Re: Polyphonic Microbrute alternative?
This thread put me over the edge so I bought an iPad.
I couldn't stop thinking about it after I watched a few sample vids.
I also got $70 in iTunes cards this season so I have been going nuts downloading iPad apps for an iPad that will not arrive till next week.

The random pattern generator is real nice for those times when you know you want some drums, but you just don't quiet know exactly where to start.
