zymos Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Of course you can run multiple apps at the same time- am I misunderstanding what you meant?My experiences are somewhat limited by only having an iPad 2, but I can open Audiobus, load Drum Jam and Animoog, and record both instruments into Multitrack Daw. That's 4 apps running at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crunch Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 My wife won't let me use hers! "Get your own!" *lol* So convince me it's worth it, Mike. I really need to learn all the nitty-gritty details of operating/creating on P1. Like how to delete note data i've accidentally entered when working on a drum. Or just how to create different beats, esp. jazz. Help me play like Fagan, man. Oh, and thanks for all you've done so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, make sure "play in background" is turned on in GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlenK Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Most apps on the iPad don't really multitask. They just suspend operations when you switch to another app. That's task switching, not multitasking, although a lot of people refer to the former as the latter. Thankfully, audio apps are usually the exceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percivale Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Get the AiR or at least version 4. Some apps, e.g. Korg Gadget take up a lot of processing power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Display Name Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have been having a lot of fun with my iPad mini. The PX-5S is the perfect controller for this. I just set up "blank" stage settings that send CC messages from all the knobs and sliders and then use the MIDI learn feature of the iOS synth to map what controls I want. I save the Stage Setting as the iOS synth name so I can recall it when I need to.For about $300 ($200 for iPad and $100 worth of apps) I have expanded the soundset of the PX-5S exponentially - I also have some sample playback apps that are great for loops and one-shots. Haven't played a lot with multitracking as the iPad mini can't handle a lot of tracks. As a long time hold-out, now I wouldn't go a day without it.. it is that much fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliceCooper Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I agree with Scott. I can't picture (more accurately, I don't want to picture) not having an ipad as part of my setup. Among my favorite apps are Animoog and iGrand.To me using computers is a giant hassle and creativity killer. I'd rather use my XW-P1, MOXF, and Tascam DP-008ex over a DAW and VST's. The iPad is an exception though, it's always been easy and intuitive to use it as both a synth and controller. If Yamaha and Apple get the audio over usb to work correctly with the iPad, I can also see it replacing the Tascam at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casio Man Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I bought an iPad specifically for a synth module, and nothing else.And now I am anxiously waiting an XW-P2 for holding it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
