Using Auxy on iPad to sequence hardware synths 

+Micro Banshee thanks, glad you enjoyed it

They could have made it a little more intuitive to set up, but once you're set up it works great!

Josh Crowe i'm using a midi solutions quadra thru to split the signal 4 ways. Unfortunately I recently heard they removed midi as an option in Auxy? Havenmt verified yet but that would be awful...

Josh Crowe i really like auxys interface, i find it so fun and intuitive, it would be a shame not to implement midi. Anyway didnt knwo the older version could sequence midi hardware. Pretty awesome

Are you asking if it's possible to make a song using only Auxy? Definitely yes, the built-in sounds are surprisingly good!

I'm using a Griffin Studioconnect

Yes.

Awesome. What iPad model is that? ^^

+Anoop Sahal Our tables are custom for the room and super easy to make. Basically, we used a 4x4 piece of plywood and just it in half, mounted some hinges, and bolted it to the wall. The hinges were heavy duty and it needed additional support to get a firm grip to the wall. A keyboard stand is used as the legs/support. After that, we found some rubber matting at how depot, used gorilla glue to adhere it to the surface, and painted the trim. Super lofi, but great for when you want to get some more space. You can just fold the tables into the wall. Hope this was helpful!

Are you still using the Studio Connect? I have the same model as you and it’s not bad but I get some odd timing things with my rig and I can’t tell if the Griffin is at fault

Yep. How dare people combine it with apps they don't earn anything on. Profit > User's needs. So Auxy was uninstalled.

So what's the best substitute app for auxy?

LLOYD POPP I’d say Genome is a good sequencer to replace Auxy. It’s a bit more complicated because it’s more powerful. Auxy s beauty was how simple it was. There are some fun alternatives too like Patterning and Fugue Machine

@@madmac66 thanks for the reply

So what's your question? Are you asking about what Synth to buy? That is very much just down to what sounds you like and how deep your pockets are! There are so many options for synthesizers and sounds that for me personally it came down more to the features of what the synth could do that benefited what I wanted than it's actual sounds! That being said my main workhorse is a JD-XA which not only has a lot of amazing features but also sounds incredible. Prior to that I was mainly using a Novation MiniNova which is a much cheaper way to go. As for apps - they will never be quite the same as the real thing if it is trying to impersonate some analogue synth, although the apps that mimic digital synths do sound very convincing. If production is a big thing for you then this is quite important.

+Adam Robertshaw well, I'm so performance minded, all I think about is the sounds and the keys. And figuring out how to utilize the other functions without the fear that is enabled for that interaction, might prove difficult. I want to be able to expand my skill set. Really the only way I might figure it out is to sit down with a dude that's set it all up already, and spam my crazy questions about everything routed to whatever and what cables I need and how many bla bla bla

+Jean-Luc Thomas I need absolute basics at times, "First, plug it in, and then, do this" "Then ableton live etc"

I think your expectations are a bit far strung... you can't just jump straight in and play wildly complex cool beats and such, it's more like learning a new instrument category, and within that every single instrument is different, so you are unlikely to find someone who knows everything. I think the best bet is to start with 1 reliable sound generator that you like (maybe you heard some synth in a track - search online and I'm sure you'll find out what was used on the track), and slowly expand from there. You may find that a synth you like the sound of may be really ugly to use, so you might not gel with it well and prefer a different device because of it. I personally get along quite well with Roland gear, but I'm not a fan of their arpeggiators, so as a result I use other gear to control that on the Roland stuff. Connectivity is just either CV or Midi (as well as USB for Roland AIRA products and "sync" for Korg) - for me I only use midi. If you aren't familiar with midi then learn the basics first, and how it operates from youtube vids etc. Your setup will vary how it is all routed depending on what sounds and sequences you want to generate. It's like pedal sequence in a guitar rig - it can have a big effect. It's a huge learning curve but a very fun process that will help you decide your synthesis direction! You'll find yourself spending a lot more time in your local music shops testing out gear!

+Clayton Brown we shall endeavor henceforth not to explain shit, please accept our apologies. We are not famous and should remain silent.

if I was I would but i'm not so I won't

@Clayton, you don't need to be famous to know your stuff. And frankly there's more to learn from these vids than any poopy poo pooped from self-inflated "famous" pimp bitches out there.

Ha-ha! Why do you even reply... The guy is trolling... He is probably also the guy that is disliking the video :P

I hope not. ya I should stop my preference is not always another persons
