![]() ![]() But, for the money, apps on iPads and MIDI keyboards are a reality now. ![]() But, I think I'll always love my Nord(s), and will always want to upgrade my Nord. Native Instruments' Komplete Kontrol series of keyboard controllers has been around for nearly five years now, having proven very popular notably amongst studio musicians who work with NI's Komplete series of virtual instruments. I think it's possible I'll just buy apps on multiple iPads here on out, especially since the 5th generation iPad is useful and priced affordably (semi-anyway). The S88 MkII offers a high-quality weighted keyboard and even tighter computer integration. And sure enough, my music apps are awesome now. I'd lost track of the pricing but for $400, I thought I might be able to find a lot of use for my music apps. I've been incredibly reluctant to drag a laptop around, but I recently bought a March-2017 gen 5 iPad with 128GB. I didn't buy the multiple masters in-app purchase (yet) and will save that purchase when I sort this app out. That is a great suggestion! I just bought it. ![]() Murphy Posts: 85 Joined:, 23:52 Location: Nashville, Tennessee Country: Has thanked: 40 times Been thanked: 19 times Your Nord Gear #1: Nord Stage 3 Your Nord Gear #2: Nord Electro 5Īnotherscott wrote: Check out the iMidiPatchbay app, which can give you a quick way of changing sounds on combinations of sounds from other apps (and hardware, for that matter). I think the Kontrol is a terrific keyboard too. My approach is to use my Electro, Roland A-49, and lots of other odds and ends to learn more about iPad/computer controlled sounds. You can't beat a Nord Stage or Electro to do that. I'm working hard on having a live setup with iPad, Androids and (gulp) computers, but nothing beats a keyboard with lots of sounds to bail you out on a gig. However, I didn't have any quick way of changing sounds, and that's the rub with MIDI controllers going into computers, iPads or Android tablets/phones. Sounded great and I had a great jazz gig. I just used a Ravenscroft 275 app on my iPad all controlled by a low-end hammer keyboard. I'm excited about all of the apps becoming practical to use on an iPad because I don't like dragging computers around to live performances.
