U-he plugins for IOS?

[krraqk]

Now that U-he is porting their products to the Apple silicon cpu and IOS devices use the same cpu, all the hard work is done, so we will see the U-he plugins released to IOS soon?

I have no idea what their plans are, but I guarantee that porting software to iOS involves more work than that.

That topic has been covered before.

Urs has no interest in delving into mobile OS plugins.

Admittedly, the move to Arm is a big step towards that, but large parts of the UI framework would need to be rewritten.

The amount off work involved does not align well with our drive to work on new stuff. We've spent so much time updating our existing plug-ins, we would rather make something new. And that would follow the path of what we do best, using the classic plug-in architectures.

I never saw the fascination of using an iPad for music. The hoops you have to jump through to connect it to anything useful are enough to kill the idea for me and then there is playing keyboard on a screen...

Playing Audiomodeling's Trumpet, Tenor Trombone, Tuba and Flugelhorn on an iPad Pro is really fun. You can do a lot, it's like a poor man's Roli.

I can attach any of my MIDI keyboards (including a Roli Seaboard Rise 25) using a very neat little dock. Not much of a hoop. And the iOS Garage Band files are directly compatible with Logic on my Mac.

So, don't underrate the iPad, and the Pro model in particular.

I love having one as an extra tool alongside my desktop. I do all my sequencing in Bitwig but have found a lot of little apps which are pure fun and resultful. I have an iConnectMIDI interface which makes the connections really easy and reliable.

Each to their own I suppose.

It's much easier to connect things than a few years ago... it pretty much just works now.

And there are some unique apps. For example, borderlands is an amazing granular synth on iOS that really takes advantage of the multi-touch screen. There is nothing else like it.

Music on iOS is evolving.

Maybe you dont know much about it.
In fact its very easy to connect anything to it, you just need a simple adapter, thats all, many sound cards, midi devices, etc works simply connecting to it, no drivers, etc.
And know, his cpu began to be used in the new Macs and suprise, it turns out that they are one the most powerful cpu on the market, so it now turns out that it is a very powerful equipment where we can use numerous synthesizers, effects, etc.
Now with the Mac/ IOS hardwae confluence, using an iPad to play music live, compose or produce makes more and more sense.

They have practically reached a great maturity today.
There already are a lot of fantastic apps, effects, synths, etc etc working very well. All at a desktop quality level.
I use it to process my guitar with amp sims (THU and others), many effects, Midi guitar, several synths.. all used simultaneously and at a very low latency. Not that bad really, right?
Now if U-he port they synths that would be great.

No doubt I'm not up to date with the technology available, that has a lot to do with the fact that I couldn't think of anything worse than playing keyboard on the iMac, I have tried and I hate it.

Also my iPad is way too old...

As i told you you don't need to touch the on-screen keyboard to take advantage of an iPad, in fact it is a rather unrewarding experience compared to a real keyboard or instrument, but you can play it with the keyboard of your choice or use it as a signal processor or many other musical tasks.

It is perfectly understandable, but I hope that soon, when the confluence of platforms is more mature and leads to an even more widespread use of Ipad devices to make and play music live, you may think that it is worth it because there will be a very interesting potential market niche.
As you recon a big step in that direction has already been taken.
