What type of music are you making with your iPad?

[Scott Murrell]

---I've been a little disenchanted with the apps I've bought because it seems like they're mostly geared to a hip hop, house, trance, etc.. type of musician.I've expressed to a couple of app makers that the market seems to have plenty of these kind of apps and some geared toward rock music might be nice but they say that this is where the market is.
My question is,do you play those styles of music? I don't know anyone who does but I'm in a rural Southern town, I've also not seen it played in the clubs I've been to in Dallas or Philly. I'm not putting those styles down at all but rock at least used to be considered a musical style.

P.S.--yes, I have the two Moog apps, the Fairlight, Garageband, 50n1 HD, C3B3, etc...

I do see a lot of stuff geared that way. It's one reason I've started focusing more on looking for instrument apps. For organs I have Organ+, though, amazingly, I have actually found GarageBand to REALLY fit my need for organs. Perhaps it's the cluttered Organ+ interface I have not quite got my hands around on editing things. I just need to spend more time with it.

There is SampleTank which has acoustic pianos (fantastic), organs (not the cleanest samples), and even Mellotron sounds (don't have that pack to comment on quality). There are many good e-pianos, too, though also a bit hit and miss on how much sample noise there is. In a full band, you probably won't notice it.

I do a mixture of electronic music along the lines of Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, and space music. I also play at church each week where I need a good set of instrument sounds (piano, e-piano, organ, strings) as well as synth pads.

Currently my live rig is all hardware equipment (keyboards and racks). I'd like to start integrating the iPad into my live setup as well. With my recent purchase of iRig MIDI, I am beginning to move into that direction.

Thanks, I'll try the Organ+. I do have Sampletank and there must be something wrong with my system because it's way too noisy to use, maybe I need to try it out on someone's pa to see but my other apps don't do this...

Yeah. Like I said, I have found many of the SampleTank sounds too noisy. And sometimes the timbre completely changes at certain key ranges. I have the full version, but have not been convinced by it to buy the full sound pack yet.

Are you finding it noisy overall or only certain sounds?
