This video needs a little explanation as to how I created this piece of music using the iPad running AUM as the audio host with a selection of AUv3 plugins. I recommend headphone for this to get the full effect. The main instrument in this is Pianoteq 8, a fine piano emulation based on a Steinway that has been sampled from various directions. I am only running the demo at the current time, it still sounds great even without the full fidelity of the paid up version.
I've passed it through an echo delay and reverb, sequenced with the physics based Bouncebud by the brilliant developer Cem Olcay and this is driven by two more of his apps brainbud and snakebud. I owe you some further technical explanations for these. They go beyond the traditional step sequencer into more experimental territory.
They can be used to write passages of music, for example you could capture the generative data, write into an arrangement window, edit by hand from there.
More to come. Remember we need more subscribers free or paid to keep this newsletter going.
