iOS Sounds that stop me from buying keyboards 

The more I look at going into soft synth, the more I am convinced to go that route. Thanks for the info!

That looks like the Yamaha S90es, best board I ever owned.

He plays piano so well.. nice qhors progressions

Awesome! Thanks for posting this. Can you imagine how amazing the music will be in Heaven? :)

I am never disappointed when I watch one of your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm not a keyboard player but I have become a better musician because of what I hear in your tutorials.

Technology is cool, the real trick is having something interesting to say musically. I really enjoy your playing, it's very good. It's insane what you can do with iPhone/iPad these days. Great video, thanks for sharing!

I almost ALMOST bought a Korg Kronos... Thanks for posting. Saving a lot of money

Impressive gear. Thanks for posting. I definitely need to step out of the Fred Flintstone era and enter into the modern sounds and gear you have, together with Gospel Musicians. Thank for your leadership and advice. God Bless.

I could listen to your demo all day... nice lush, rich chords and sound.

Amen. If the S90es FELT and navigated like the S80, that’d be heaven. The compromise I make, and it is in editing and in the super-immediate connection to S90 sound, is S80 with Motif-Rack ES!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SOUND! 👍🏾🎹

iOS and soft synths are practical for gigging, but in my experience they are not future proof. Software companies go under, constant problems with discontinued updates due to iOS incompatibility. Had a 5-7 year cycle on an iPhone 3gs setup, a 10 year cycle on a laptop setup. In the long run, hardware keyboards are better investments especially for a studio setup. I still use gear from the 1980s and 1990s that are still going strong after the occasional memory battery replacements.

By the way cool playing ! You really make them sound good all those ios devices keep it up.

Just to let everyone know, I have discontinued my free SF2 packs. The link to them in the description no longer works.

It sounds great because you are playing it. Very nice, thanks for sharing!

So glad I stumbled across your channel! Great advice, and I'm looking into the Puc - that's awesome.

I was always told the CAMERA CONNECTION "kit" (just a damn connector!!), was ESENTIAL and bluetooth would drain the battery - and since you needed this connector, you could only run the ipad/iPhone on battery - but with Bluetooth midi this is not even an issue since you can use a charger as the lightening port is would then be free (for use of a charger!) when using a Bluetooth MIDI device to connect the keyboard to the iphone/ipad?2 minutes ago•

It’s still a bit flat but with the right EQ and plug for sure the iOS synths are getting there on their own.

Awesome! Informative! Thank you so much!

If you use MacOS (aka OS X), the last few versions have included something called Inter Audio Device - basically you plug the iOS device into your Mac via the lightning cable, and it will show up as an Audio input source in the MIDI control panel. End to end digital, no latency, clipping or any other issues.

iGrand the best!!!

You have been very helpful my friend ☺️

GREAT!! . Ive been trying to do a software live performance setup since 2004 it SSD was too expensive and laptops too cumbersome and fragile. I now have iPads and am real excited about doing this again - nope that ipad are affordable... But it seems like NO ONE can provide accurate and useful information at apple or ANY music retailer!), so I hope YOU can - since you seem to be well experienced with it!

i like how you play and talk at the same time lol

If i were a keyboard player, i would definetely go this route. No doubts.

Super nice job!!

Fire video fam

Waw that sounds amazing

You don't wanna be that guy :-) Love it! Great clip, by the way.

Korg Module - Ivory = an excellent piano sound.. Still haven't bought the grand in Sample tank, so not sure how it compares. So far Ivory is the best I've heard on iOS., but haven't tried many that you've recommended here.

Neo soul keys is also great giving you the possibility to tweak sounds. I grand with ipad air 2 gives me poor latency, but this could be because i m using a roland duo ca 22 usb connected to the ipad. All the other apps work great. Another good app is Jordantron.

He uses faders to support his Iphone "WOW"!

Can I still set up like this in 2022

yes ios instruments are getting better and better and are still cheap. I own an Ipad and several vst and a roland fa. However, my ears hear a gap with sound quality compared to vst and hardware units, especially regarding the acoustic pianos. But well, we aren t talking the same price range so for somebody on a budget and already owning and ipad and controller it s great bargain. But for the price of an ipad and a decent controller, you can actually have a good board like the yammies rolands etc. You can even have a second hand roland integra and believe me the acoustic pianos, rhodes and wurlis sound gorgeous on that rack miles ahead from the ipad. At least to my ears.

A Marvin Gaye ringtone really wouldn't be the most terrifying way to interrupt a service, but yes, please do use airplane mode :)

Man the chord progressions or whatever you'd call them he plays sound so nice. I'd love to get back into playing after I stopped in my teens. But, I don't like the traditional stuff that my teachers used to teach. The stuff in this video however is more what I'd like to learn. Can it be classified as a genre or something?

Man I got that p u c and it work real good thank u ,keep up the good work Statesville nc now I need to find some good iOS sounds

This is amazing brother ,is a pleasure to finally See your reviews they’ve been a big help to me.keep it up brother God bless you 🙏

Can you direct me to any videos that show how to do a set up. Showing cords and interfaces?

I enjoy it!!!

You know what's really cool about physical keyboards? In a few years when that version of iPhone is no longer supported, the physical keyboard still works.

the piano sounds smooth

love it !!

Can you please do a tutorial cover on the song Every Prayer by Israel Houghton..... nobody has a video on it

What feature does one need on a keyboard to connect an iOS device? What connectivity options? Some example keyboards? Does the keyboard need blus tooth?

Hi sir.. can u show how To Connect the softwre With the keyboard…

that is a smart idea using your iPhone for your keyboard

I love the sound bro!!❤️❤️👍but what app are you using I’m trying to get hooked up on this layering you’re using

You commented on the latency issue. I don't know if it's RU-vid or what but there is a noticeable visual latency when you're playing the keys. Very cool nonetheless!

Very good video! Thanks for posting. Off to buy me an iPad :-)

You forgot iM1 and Korg Module

Thank you! 💭🎼👍

Having my phone in airplane mode would drive me nuts in case somebody needed to reach me for an emergency.. BUT a used Ipad can be bought for around $100 so that's the route I'm going :)

Aren't the sounds of your Yamaha S90 just as good?

Guys, this is such a non-issue. If you don't want your iPhone beeping while you're playing a keyboard then just buy a cheap used iPad dedicated for your keyboard! Why would you use your phone to play midi if you don't want the phone to do what a phone is supposed to do while you're playing?

6:18 - Indiana Jones theme in min11.

I turn on my Wi-Fi and use AirPlay to an airport express to send sound wirelessly from my keytar that’s connected to my old iPhone

how reliable is it? would you go out with just a MIDI controlled and the PUC? And whats the spec of the iPhone? And you play wonderfully too. Real class.

Good

Nice vid. Im going this way as well. Where did you get the PUC from? They seem a little pricey? Does give the possibily of picking up a small midi controller keyboard, and walking (wirelessly) to the front, to be able to sound check while playing ! Sampletank offers laying and splits of sounds - which I dont think the others do?

Can you get a full B3 sound?

By only got this app you can get such amazing sound? Could I install this apps use Samsung brand mobile as well?

My apologies. Got it.

Absolutely wonderful video experience! Is going 1/8 audio connector into my PA acceptable or should I use an additional interface when playing live? I already have a lighting camera cable. Thanks!

How do you send a feed? Is it coming out of the Iphone jack?

I’m afraid that it don’t work for to long with any conexión other than apple lighting camera adapter direct from usb midi i was using a Novation impulse and always have issues with the conexión recently I changed to an Arturia and finally no more issues

I have an M- Audio Keystation 49 MIDI controller that I use with a Mini Engine MIDI plus gadget through an USB connection. The Keystation only has an USB plug. Of course, the sounds from the midi plus are just basic and I was wondering if I can connect my Iphone directly to the Keystation with a ready available cable and use the software you describe in the video? Question number two: which software you use for the Iphone? Great sound and great video.

The very first app you was using

so the PUC IS wireless but connects to the phone?

this is crazy ! Zero latency ..........

Where on line can you buy the sounds you talked about? and that MKS for $19 something how many songs on that I only heard about 5 sounds you demo Piano strings pad are there more on that particular app? I’m new to this thanks for the help.

This is opposite to your video, but it looks like your board is a S90 (xs or es). Do you like that board? How are the pianos in it?

No Organ apps? Are the effects manipulatable or static?

Nice app I used it in church but Only thing wrong is that the sound goes in and out after playing for like 15 mins. Can you help about that?

dont know a lot about keyboards but i thought that thing your tapping with your fingers was one . So if i buy a iphone does it come with that big piano looking thing your playing notes with instead of buying a keyboard or is that extra dollars

Hi from México do you have something for Android?

I can’t find the first program you was using. It’s better than the rest for me but what’s it’s called ?

I need the link for the wireless Bluetooth midi interface. The one under the post isn't working.

Come si chiama questo programma e dove si acquista?Grazie

How would you rate Korg Module/Gadget with the Ivory IAP??? Wish we could get the Puc + here in Mexico. Thanks for this video!

Brother, you can play.

So what are the names of the software’s 😊

What is a pad? What is an mks library, mk20? And how in the heck are you combining sounds from different apps? Newbie here...thanks.

Posso avere il link dove acquistare quesra app?Grazie

i experience slight latency any suggestions?

How are the pianos connected to the keyboard

What is the puc called

Is there something similar on Android or on macbook?

Hey what is the name of the App you are playing at the starting point the video?, the piano Sunderland is great.

The link won't work

I don't even know where to begin with this stuff! LOL

Thank you so much for your videos. Question: Is MKSensation from gospel musicians covering the same ground as the precision sound mks20? Second... the link to get the mks20 SoundFont form the sound guy is faulty. On his website I cannot find the mks sound for the iPad could you advise?

+hnsmusic , You could include the CMP Grand Piano App.

Great video! What Yamaha are you using as your midi controller?

Hi sir. I have a motif es6. When I play this. It has excessive aftertouch. Is there a setting to stop this from doing aftertouch?

does this works on any Yamaha pianos With USB in Port?

Great video. How did you learn to play.

what piano keyboard are you using?

i really dont trust bluetooth products , there is always latency ,but this one doenst?
