Synths in Garageband for iPad

via Michael

"check out the synth icons.. there’s a DX7 on other pages too. Arp, Moog, Nord, and Waldorf Wave! It works well with my Blofled keyboard thru the Camera Connection USB Adaptor, poly seems to be limited to 4 or 5 notes on the more complex patches. It responds to Velocity, Aftertouch, Pitch and Mod Wheel too.. The Arpeggiator seems to be quite nice as well"

Meggy Synth - Demo

flickr By sean_carney
"Meggy Synth is a sketch I wrote that allows the Meggy Jr to act as a simple step-based synthesizer for writing 8 bit music.

The sketch allows you to write music over a three octave range using anything from whole notes to thirty-second notes with optional slurs between notes. This video shows me writing a scale in pitch mode, switching to duration mode to set the length of the notes, then playing the song back in both pitch and duration view so you can see how the modes work together.

Collin's Lab: Homebrew Piezo

YouTube Uploaded by makemagazine on Mar 11, 2011

"Piezoelectric materials are about as close to magic as you can get. They turn physical pressure into electricity and can even turn electricity into physical pressure - an amazing sort of bidirectional converter for mechanical and electrical energies. Perhaps even more amazing is the fact that you can easily 'grow' your own piezoelectric crystals overnight using just a couple of common ingredients - awesome."

SimpleMidiPad Now Available

"SimpleMidiPad is an easy-to-use MIDI CC source for driving software or hardware synths and effects, and remote control of a DAW. Each of the four pads sends X, Y, and Z MIDI control messages, with user-selectable destination addresses.

Note that SimpleMidiPad makes no sound of its own. It requires either a CoreMidi-compatible USB MIDI adaptor (via the Camera Connection Kit) or an OS X computer running the Network MIDI interface for WiFi usage."
