HOW I ARRANGE: After I've created a loop that I like I just launch/mute tracks and tweak parameters rather than consciously lay everything out. This way the whole process stays fun which for me is the key. I may do a more detailed tutorial on this.
With all the gear options out there I also like sticking with one program and Korg gadget is perfect for what I want to do. If you don't know what it is here is my own overview:
Korg gadget is a complete IPAD electronic music workstation - like a propellerhead's Reason for mobile.
To make music you just pick any of the following 'gadgets' from within the program and start composing:
Drum machines/Drum Samplers
London: drum sound module Gadget designed specifically for dance music but with the right FX can fit any style really. Has 8 Tracks.
"Bram Bros released today the first West-Coast oriented Synthesizer for iPad and iPhone. Ripplemaker is an easy-to-use West-coast synth that is perfect for everyone to discover this different synth architecture. Before I make my review with plenty new sounds, here a very early sound demo of this new synth."
"Heyja. In this final Episode (for the time being) of my Q&A-Video Series about MIDI with the Elektron Digitakt i wanna have a look at how it performs controlling one of it's bigger brothers: The Elektron Analog Four :-) This Video is a bit longer again, so for your convenience: Here's a little Index with all the Topics and their Timecode:
1. Syncing the Machines ( 3:32 )
2. Working with MIDI CCs ( 9:23 )
3. Recording Notes on the Digitakt ( 15:27 )
4. Change Patterns on the A4 with the Digitakt ( 21:54 )"
"A little experiment using the Elby Designs CGS734 Analog Shift Register running three oscillators, the Verbos Electronics Complex Oscillator, Endorphin es Furthrrr Generator Oscillator and Harvestman Hertz Donut Oscillator, the latter of which runs through the 2hp Freez, triggered by a Modcon Quad LFO. Intellijel Metropolis is making the melodies. Meanwhile two separate melodies lines flutter and appear from Hex Inverter Orbitals, also clocked by Metropolis - using Make Noise STO and Intellijel Dixie 2. Add a little reverb and a terrible iPhone film and you have it :-D"
