Let the wobbling begin!
P.S. If the codes you win are for apps you already own, I can do some more asking around, but no promises!
Good luck! and keep up with the contest on Twitter and Facebook!

This idea has been floating around for sometime now, but the release of Arturia’s iMini for iPad really got me to realize – the iPad has quite a variety of classic synth recreation apps…
-Peter Vogel CMI and CMI Pro
Other recreations:
-Korg iElectribe & iElectribe Gorillaz Edition
-iMPC
What is it about the iPad that’s attracting so many classic synth recreations? I’ve got it narrowed down to a few contributing features…
1. Touch – A touch screen allows users to interact directly with the synthesizer, not through a keyboard and a mouse, you can literally drag and drop cables in iMS-20, turn knobs and sliders, ect…
2. It’s a second computer – Live setups can be complicated. Having a second computing device (especially on that’s as advanced as the iPad) allows musicians to have an extra screen to use software that may have otherwise been crammed onto a laptop along with several other VSTs. This will get exponentially better as soon as the iConnectMIDI 2+ and 4+ arrive with AudioPass Through.
3. Capable of producing complete tracks – Audio copy & paste, Virtual MIDI, Audiobus bring all of these apps together.
4. Portability - This one’s a given.
5. Anything else? What do you like about producing on iPads? Leave a comment below!

Demo Song for KORG iPolysix.
Live Pattern Play + Performing on KAOSS Pad.
A mix of 80ies Synth Funk and modern Lounge Style.
“I play in a 80′s cover band. I’m looking to use a good synth app to connect to a MIDI keyboard. Looking to replicate a lot of the 80′s keyboard sounds ala Bon Jovi, VH, etc… what is the best synth app to do this? Most of the stock apps you have to purchase the extra packs to sample the sounds….I’d like to avoid paying to test if possible.
Also, is there any other apps besides the voice app from IK and TC for helping with “vocals” live?”
Definitely, the new Korg iPolysix. Would anyone like to recommend anything else or share any patches? Leave a comment below!
