I've not used the Electribe (hardware/software) and was tempted to get the iPad one. Its relatively high price put me off (along with a few other reasons I can't remember). iOS version is supposed to be pretty good but may lack the flexibility of other apps. Really depends what you're looking for!Tempy wrote:That's the one, yeah. I saw a great demo on youtube that made me fall in love with one. @Brooks: good stuff, I thought that would be the thing. Building a shopping list for all these apps that I want, need to learn how to actually use the damn things too. I have Bleepbox on my iPhone but I'll be damned if I actually understand how to build a song, yet its demo functions suggest it can produce full fat floor fillaOne of my mates who made techno used to have a Korg's Electribe I think. Its that blue one with no keys right? Just buttons? They are pretty damn tasty but i don't like synths with no keys for some reason.

Beats the average laptop musician setup though.ÂBrooks wrote:The latter. There's no goddamn theatre in prodding buttons on a box. And no, Araabmuzik clips are not converting.
Yeah, i've got it. Basic but fun and the Maschine integration is nice.ÂTempy wrote:Vastik that list is brilliant. I will look into all of them. Did you know Native Instruments do an iMaschine? Little £3 app for phone/pad. Has a great video on music radar where Jamie Lidell builds a track on it and then hops off to his home studio (in his MASSIVE HOUSE) to upload it to his computer. It's only meant for sketches but it seems pretty competent.
For something like iMaschine, youtube comes to the rescue!Tempy wrote:I need to sit down with a decent tutorial because they are mistifying to me really. Lidell makes it look easy.

Yeah, I get that. I'm fine noodling with a mouse, and my iPad gives me extra interface options but I do still like the idea of Maschine and it's hardware/software combo as it looks like it makes jamming out ideas easier and perhaps more fun. Live is a secondary concern for me though.Brooks wrote:I've never especially struggled without an external trigger device during bouts of studio pottering, but I'm not everyone. Though actually even then, I've used DAWs that have some propensity for emulating the physical layout of old drum machines and whathaveye (Fruity, Reason etc.) Now I'm only interested in the sounds those devices produce but they have to have come about by some, if fairly imaginary general scheme that includes the possibility of live and indeed animated performance. A conceit in 2K12 but a personally vital one. Is why I went back to guitars despite having slim to no interest in making rawk music - whatever else axes are still for, they remain aesthetically - tactility, cosmetics - pleasing triggers.
Tap the top left button on the screen, it takes you to a menu that allows you to export to Soundcloud (or Maschine).Tempy wrote:iMaschine is super bare bones and I don't really know what I'm doing but it is fun, which is what matters most. Saw some folk on YouTube doing full songs on it, seemed smart but you need to load your pads individually and it's too late to be soon that so I just fucked around and made 4 things in an hour or two, inboard mixer lets them sound like songs but I've no idea how to record that internally, probably needs exporting. Heck, more fun than a pint and the same price.
Ah, well at that point you've gone beyond what I've tried in it!Tempy wrote:Yes, I've done that and it's really easy. I meant recording a full song, so far it only exports the full sample
