Re: Recommendations for iPad pad synth...

Well right now I just got the iPad versino of Alchemy, cos I CAN do all these "kind" of things on my laptop, but I dont really have a way live, as I dont take my laptop to gigs.. As I am using iPad to do TouchOSC stuff via missing link to the edps and repeater, I thought it was a waste to NOT have it make some noise too!!

And I have tested that a 4 finger swipe can let me switch between Alchemy and TouchOSC, without needed a restart of either, which is nice.. (Although Angry Birds needs a reload, so no Green Pig Death mid gig Im afraid!

Yes, I remember when you showed me that awesome feature in Audio Mulch
at Nancy's Garden, Santa Cruz. In Alchemy you have the remix pad has
eight positions and for each position you can define the exact value
for a dozen different parameters and then you morph seamlessly between
them (parameter gliding towards the next value). The good thing with
using a touch iOS device, compared to a joystic, is that you can JUMP
between positions. It's great to print automation for Alchemy's
remixpad in Logic from the iPhone.

Other fun stuff in Alchemy is the arpeggiator, the micro tonal tuning
option, granular synthesis and sample processing plus that you can
load your own sound files and morph them on the remix pad.

Alchemy together with Kontakt 5 is my current favorites to add some
cream on top of the Logic's Synths cake.
