TheyвЂ™ve been around and other synth app developers have been trumpeting their Audiobus integration as a primary selling point. In my opinion, Audiobus is driving this train. But itвЂ™s promising that Apple is seemingly on-board. ItвЂ™s still new, so the number of compatible synth apps is still rather few.

AppleвЂ™s GarageBandДЄpple got in the game with iOS 7вЂІs upgrade of GarageBand, and now has the вЂњInter-appвЂќ ability to record the output of other installed synth apps. There are a few approaches to this idea of interoperability. Or doing a multi-track recording on the iPadвЂ™s GarageBand using several other installed synths, instruments and drum machines as inputs-various manufacturerвЂ™s products all able to co-exist and work together. Common examples could be using one app as a filter of the sound another synth app produces. The app is unique and very well-crafted.Д«ut perhaps the larger shift in the iOS musicianвЂ™s world is the recently-added ability to use multiple apps at the same time, вЂwiringвЂ™ them together. It has realtime touch controls similar to the iMini, a built-in 4-track recorder, and a pretty wild voice synthesizer. NaveвЂ™s wavetable synthesizer with 3D visual editing is definitely something to try. The wildcard of this round for me is from Waldorf Music. Ever bored and restless waiting for or riding on a train or airplane? Figure on an iPhone is the answer. While on Propellerhead, I should also mention Figure. You can even work on a sound in both environments, transferring sound patches between Reason and the iPad app. Thor is ReasonвЂ™s polysonic synthesizer ported over to the iPad. Propellerhead is amazing, and IвЂ™ve been a longtime fan since ReBirth and ReCycle, and then of course, Reason.

The iSEM also adds a voice programmer, mod matrix and performance mode to make it an all-around solid and versatile synth app. Second to my interest in Moog synths would have to be Oberheim, and the iSEM is, again from Arturia, a high quality replication, this time of a 1974 Oberheim Synthesizer Expander Module (SEM). Adding on to the original, Arturia included assignable touch pad controls for some performance options. The iMini is a replication of a 1971 Minimoog, and the sounds are incredible. Okay, so IвЂ™m a Moog fan, when it comes to analog synths. Animoog, built specifically for the iPad (and then, iPhone), was the early adopter in this area, and continues to be a solid platform for great synth sounds. MoogвЂ™s AnimoogДЇirst off, to actually be useful for me, an app would need to support CORE MIDI, so it can be connected and played through a keyboard. But I figure someone may get some ideas from my experience, so here goes. And certainly, there are others out there who are far more qualified to instruct in this area than I. Like I say, itвЂ™s an exciting time where new platforms and implementations are developed and released daily. As i found myself saying to Scott the other night, itвЂ™s a good time to be an iOS musician.Д«elow are some of the primary tools iвЂ™ve found useful. But in the recent 6 months or so, a wide variety of new apps and technologies, and even overall strategies, have been added to the field. The options at that early stage-which is probably a couple of years ago now-were fairly limited. So I went around looking for usable synth apps. And the novelty wore off.Д«ut I was fortunate to stumble upon an iOS-to-MIDI adapter, thinking I could control sounds generated on the iPad with my existing keyboards, and add to the sounds I could use in the band setting. And although I enjoyed the initial novelty of using it to take notes and other productivity tasks, I soon realized I could type three or four hundred times faster on a standard keyboard. Sure, I could read email and the Times (though their app was severely lacking back then). For someone on a laptop a good portion of the day, my early iPad usage was somewhat forced.

Over a series of christmases at work, I was gifted a few iPads.
