Out of stock? How can a digital download be out of stock?

And to keep it ontopic, iSEM is f**king amazing- I love this synth!

Wondering if you use audiobus and what kind of experience are you having? I've been running iOS 7 on my ipad 2 as well and it's a little sketchy, not as good as before I updated to iOS 7, getting more latency, especially with guitar apps like Amplitube and jam up pro going into multitrack daw thru audiobus.

Yes, they did a much better job with midi than they did with Imini , you can select a specific midi channel to use.

Which model iPad are you using?
iPad 3, iOS 5.1. 1.
Unfortunatelly, it works, but very often crashes - especially when I tweak patches. Sometimes I got distorted sound, always the same, no matter which patch is choosen - only restart helps.
I wouldn't buy it again.

May be time to take a chance and update your iOS , I'm running it on ios7 on an ipad 2 and it runs great. Can be a little buggy when I have both ISEM and Imini going at the same time but I'm on an ipad 2 so you shouldn't be having an issue once you update, if not ready for ios7 then iOS 6 ( unless you're running a jail broken ipad and don't want to update to an iOS that can't be jail broken )

no, it is absolutely fair ! if they support iOS 5 it should work the same as under iOS 6 or 7. This is what one should expect from using it on supported hardware with supported OS.

I disagree, there is lots of software that will only run on later a later OS no matter what the hardware, if you're still on leopard then there's a lot of thing you can even install at all if your aren't running Lion or snow leopard. If he's running iOS 5 it's more than likely because that's the last one that can be jail broken. Yes it does say it requires iOS 5 but I'm sure if he updated he would have a different experience.
I'm running ios7 on an ipad 2 and it runs great, it should run even better on an ipad 3 on IOS 7.

For example, I ran iSEM through both Sugarbytes Turnado and Wow ( separately of course) in AB for quite a while, and it worked completely smoothly. Can't really speak to latency, if you mean like processing live audio, but every synth I've tried has been just as responsive (subjectively) played on a MIDI keyboard.

No, this is not cause.

No, it runs even worse on iPad3. Look at apple forums and specs - iPad 3 has retina, which displays four time more pixels than iPad 2.It's heavy for CPU and ios 7 is another CPU hit.
iPad 3 is widely know to be underpowered. I was in Apple store, have to admit that iPad 2 (they still sell it as educational tablet) runs very smoothly with ios7. Even Apple staff in Apple store dissuaded me from installin ios7 on my iPad 3.

I wait update 7.1 or 7.2 which should be optimized for iPads.

Back to topic, iSem is great, yesterday I recorded some tracks into Ableton.

iPad 2 running 6.1.3

Runs iSEM through Turnado using Audiobus with no issues on presets I tested (about 10 so far). Couldn't detect much latency.

Yeah, Wow, sounds amazing!

For $9.99 this is a steal.

Haven't tested midi timing or anything like that, but as a sound module, its sonic possibilities are pretty good.

Wow, I didn't know that, I was thinking about upgrading to an ipad 3 or even an ipad 4, I'm not sure if I want to do either but I'm thinking an ipad 4 might work since it has a faster chip, will have to look into it.

I'd wait for iPad 5, which might be just a few weeks away. Will likely have the faster A7 chip that's in the iPhone 5s.
Even if you don't get iPad5 itself, it will probably make iPad 4 cheaper to buy too, probably even more so if you buy a 2nd hand one from an upgrader.

I hope iPad5 has a doubled RAM... that's much more important than finger print thingy for us..

mmpl · Post by **mmpl** » Mon Oct 14, 2013 4:25 pm

The iPhone didn't get an increase in RAM, so I'm afraid it will stay the same for the iPad...but I do hope Apple will surprise us!

iPad 5 seems to have 2 gb ram:

It's necessary, some users pointed at ram problem - in some circumstances ios 7 can eat ca. 700 mb on iPad 3.

mmpl · Post by **mmpl** » Mon Oct 14, 2013 8:50 pm

Well that extra RAM would be nice...not long to wait now until we can be sure.

Spot on. The iPad is heading in a wrong direction according to my needs. The retina ambitions are eating up every added power and even on the ipad4 the benefits are marginal compared to the iPad 2 as far as music production concerns. I wish they would make a ipad mini with the new A7 processor, 1-2 gb ram and NO retina display. Now that would make a dfference.
