![]() I normally use all three devices along with guitar, electric cello, drum pad, percussion and a big box of cheap electronic toys but I was trying to limit the baggage since it was up a long flight of stairs (even tho’ everything was carried for me I still had to set it up). I use an Akai IOdock with my iPad and did not drag my iPod Touches along for thae show. The sounds I created worked well and we got a tremendous response from an audience of 35 or so (it was a very small venue/ very large living room). I recently used my iPad at a gig I played with The Dits a free improv/noisy/trippy/humorous trio I have played with for the last 12 years except for a not so brief hiatus for back surgery. I also use some sound maker type apps like Slewpi, Syntpond, Reactable, Keplers orrey, Slice, Aura Flux and iGendyn for improvisation and inspiration. Moog has 2 apps I use a lot called Filtatron and AniMoog which create sounds worthy of the Moog name. 1 cent accuracy as their hardware brethren ideal for tuning or intonation adjustment. My main tuner is an app by Peterson called iStrobsoft that gives the same. ![]() ![]() Another cool one is Droneo which creates drones that can be tweaked to the nth degree. There are also a host of strange synthy type apps from Curtis that I use a lot that have unique interfaces and can bend sounds dramatically. I also use an app called Teslas Synth which is similar but a bit more aggressive. It is 4-5 note polyphonic and looks like a kids toy but it is very expressive. Some of my faves are Bebot which is a synth whose interface is a stupid looking little robot that moves as you place your finger on the screen left for low note right for higher notes as you move up the modulation increases you can have either continuous note change or add lines for a more keyboard like response. I have more apps than any sane person should have. I use mine as a musical instrument a great deal. I am also an iPad user as well as the iPod Touch.
