![]() ![]() These days I mostly use Reason as a Rack plug-in in Ableton Live, but from time-to-time I run it as a stand-alone.įor quite some time Propellerhead Reason was my "Preferred Weapon of Choice" (and before that Cubase), but many times I had looked at Ableton Live and especially when I came at their site at a time they had a 33% discount I was close to buying it. I've skipped a few Cubase upgrades, but might mick it up again. But today I use mostly Ableton Live and Steinberg WaveLab (wave-editor and mastering-tool). In the past I have used both Steinberg Cubase, and Propellerhead Reason. Over the years my focus/interest and preferred software have changed, and it will probably keep changing (nothing is permanent). I still have, and mostly use software, but its nice to have the hardware as well. Fast forward to 2021 I once again felt I wanted to have some hardware, partly to have the physical knobs and partly to work with analog equipment. During the first many years I build up a small "collection" of hardware synthesizers/grove-machines, but over a short period I sold them all and went full software for some years. This meant that I had to get some software running on my computer in order to use it as a DAW ( Digital Audio Workstation). ![]() Those are just a few ideas I've been chewing on.As a software engineer (and in the past also network administrator) my background is in computers (PCs), and music equipment was new to me when I started out in 2003, so a PC-based approach was only natural. ![]() Different time signatures, multiple channels, Euclidean Rythms etc.give me a reason to sell my Elektron gear and entice new forms of composition. I'd like to see more things that go beyond 4/4, single midi channel options. As a rompler, I don't think it would be too difficult to bang up something similar in iOS with more hands on control.ĥ) Bring on the midi sequencers. iVCS3 is a step in the right direction for giving a pretty faithful recreation of this iconic synth, so I really hope someone steps up soon.ģ) Casio CZ series-there are a few developers who have put out recreations of Yamaha's FM synths, but I'd love to see some iOS versions of Casio's Phase Distortion take on FM.Ĥ) This is a long shot, but I think the Kawai XD-5 drum synth is one of the most unique sounding pieces of gear I've ever laid hands on. Given how knobby and hands on the original is (as well as being cost prohibitive for most), it seems like iOS would be an ideal platform for this. I know Arturia has a longstanding PC recreation, although I've read that a lot of purists say it doesn't sound like the original. from my iPad, instead of a direct capture on the device.Ģ) A decent Arp 2600 emulation. It boggles my mind that the only way to capture audio from a video or non AB/IAA source is to record it onto my phone/computer/sampler etc. I'll start off with my wishes, but I hope others chime in with what they'd like to see.ġ) An Audiobus/IAA compatible app that gives access to System Audio (a la Soundflower/Audio Hijack Pro)!!! There is a wealth of sound sources out there without AB/IAA waiting to be recorded, but as it stands you're more or less limited to an approach straight out of the mid-90s to capture any of those sounds. We're just around the corner from the new year, and I know a lot of developers follow this forum and might get some ideas from what we want in the changing landscape of iOS music.
