A question for Guill from Holland

...I have bought almost all of the available music software in the Apss store (every day iam online in the store to see whats new, and find some interesting apps with pianosounds, guitarsounds and others....

Guill from Holland.

Ok Guill, I'll take your word, thank you. Since I purchased also a lot of music apps including but not all iMS-20, djay, Rebirth, nodeBeat, SamplerSequencer HD (not great but...), Fourier Synths, Sunrizer, Gliss and almost all of the freebies including ethnical instrumnets, drumsets and the wonderful soundtoys made by Nicholas Collins including PhotoNoise gladly paid.

As you can assume I am more into experimental and nondance but still mix a little music for my friends, also using hardware cdplayers and Korg kaossboxes being a long time Korg costumer (let's say some 30 years ).
My question: In my wishlist are some apps that are sort of a luxury right now on a iPad (cheap luxury) but still don't want to overload or stress myself with more manuals an apps I seldom use. Could you tell me about Mellotronics M3000 for iPad, since it is on your list or maybe Mixtikl full one, Curtis or some granular synth?
I am more than inclined to Mellotronics but Dog knows I spent 2much mon€y already and still I could use a good office app and some more pro Audio Tools... phew!

Thanks in advance.
All the best from sunny Barcelona.

How to get chords on GB

I am trying to put in a song to GarageBand with the chords G C D G# Am Bm A#. Since I cannot find these chords on one single screen how do I enter them to a song? Impossible?

 

[tclark2323]

Hi.
I'm no professional like some of you seem, so please forgive the basic nature of the question: I've got GarageBand on my iPad 2. How do I listen to one recorded track while laying down a guitar track? Both the ear phones and jack for the Fender go in the same hole. Or did I miss something?

Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the forums tclark2323!

I think that you need a special split cable that hooks into the headphone's minijack.
Search for iRig in the forums or guitar recording...
here is an exemple:

I don't think the little 1/8 inch jack can act as input/output simultaneously. If I were faced with that situation with what I currently have on hand in gear would be to put my condenser mike at the little speaker on the ipad, plug in the guitar and listen to the mix over the PA.

 

[tclark2323]

Thanks, MacVaio!

You sent me in the right direction. I went to the local guitar big box retailer and they sold me a "Jam" by Apogee for $99.

It's easy to use. USB cord from the Jam plugs into the bottom of the iPad. Guitar plugs into the Jam. Ear buds where they usually go for the monitor.

I also have a microphone cord that'll plug into the Jam. Now all I need is a drummer, a base player, and some talent and I'll be a big star.

U got all the band u need in GarageBand. I've been sequencing for decades. The iPad and GarageBand does it so easy, so well. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get the chords I want out of one screen. Anybody?

So are you talking about a port I don't know about! iPad has no USB. U say there is a port on the bottom? Guess I'll take this thing out of it's case and look.

I don't know how to send one of my sequences to this forum but I tell u the three I've put together in the past couple weeks sound better over a pa than anything I've ever done with Roland and Korg very expensive equipment ..old equipment. I do not need to buy another $2500 sequencer...my $5 gaarage band does it for my show.

 

[tclark2323]

I called it USB and maybe that's not the right name for it.
I meant the same plug used to charge the iPad.

...

Actually is the only charging and communcation port, the same used for charging or for the camera kit, Alesis iO dock, etc.

Seems that you made a good buy tclark!

Not using yet Garageband, I am more of a soloist or free composition player. Still is way sooo cheap you can't go wrong. Sometimes the "pro" stuff isn't so user friendly.

Yes I do have Mellotronics m 3000 , it has the good old organsounds but i did not try to use it so often that i cannot tell you jet of the details. how things are working etc. Its that now it has big organsounds If it will come so far I will will give you more details. the app I bought according to me at the Apple Store music via I Tunes

It can, it's the same as the iphone socket which allows a mic and earphone/headphone simultaneously. Just check out all the discussion on the iRig, or Griffin's GuitarConnect cable.
Mic'ing up the iPad speaker is going to give a horrible sound, definitely not advised!

There's also options that use the iPad connector, just read through this thread.

 

[ejbpesca]

I hear ya. I learn something new all the time here. Yep, my suggestion was a quick, get it done now if you have the condenser mike and yes all kinds of feed back etc. could happen but..you would be surprised at the quality of these mikes these days. Anyhoo...so I will read but are you saying the 1/8" jack on the ipad accepts some sort of plug say with four sections instead of three that will simultaneously accept input and give output? Extremely cool. So, you can use with a head set mike/earphone and get I guess what you call a duplex signal going...or maybe use an xlr mike, and separate headphones, plug them into an irig device, plug that into the ipad and presto..you are singing into the machine while listening to the music? irig...ipad..what a device. This changes everything. I can forget my digital recorder..just do it all with the ipad. too cool

 

[stingray1059]

has anyone of you used the ipad for live gig use? what app did you use?

i wish there could be a korg legacy collection or similar app for the ipad.
