I’m looking at ideas for new content here and writing about some exciting new plugins that have only just come out, these include Dialekt, Elastic OSC and Waymaker. These are available on iOS and desktop too. I’m going to rekindle my plugin guide that I started ages ago, sharing some video demonstrations like this one and talking about how to build virtual modular systems with these plugins.

Continuing from yesterdays post, I have been exploring the beats that @ale.dri shared with me over the weekend but this time in Loopy Pro v2 (beta) rather than Logic Pro. My previous idea was a more ambient, even melancholic idea, this one is all about Major C! So far have come up with the general bass line.

I explain it all in the video.

Tonight a conversation between myself, @ale.dri and @harbiter began about collaborating in some way. I enjoyed the videos that @ale.dri has been sharing recently both on the drumming community and the Hive Sound Library. I asked him about creating a track, starting with some of his drum recordings, I could then add some chords on the synths, someone else could add something on top of that and then see where it leads.

So this video is a bit of an idea. I took one of the loops that Ale.dri shared with me via a Google Drive folder I’ve created, Groove 2 as it happens to be called. I loaded it into Logic Pro and then composed some chords within the DAW. I’ve played with some other effects on the drums, just to show what’s possible with stuff like beat chopping etc. I added a little compression too and some filtering on my synths during this performance.

Have taken a cinematic direction on this one and I’m envisaging an acoustic guitar to go with the chords. If anyone is interested in having a go, I can let you know what key and scale it’s in etc.

I’m excited about this experiment!

Welcome to the first of our sample packs that are being released as part of the Hive Sound Library.

This pack is called “Around the house” and in fact is mostly around the kitchen. Plates, fridge motors and then some very random samples of me talking down tubes of foil. Having fun recording stuff basically!

Definitely more around the house stuff coming up.

You can download these samples as a zip file and as a Koala project for a number of options. All samples have been normalised a little bit but are yours to play with!

Good morning folks, welcome to another video, this one is just a quick sneak peek of a project I’m building up in the latest version of Loopy Pro on my iPad which will also be released on the Mac when it’s ready for launch, so this is a public beta, running on TestFlight and I’ve been checking out the new features. The most notable for me is that clips, formerly only supported audio recordings, now support MIDI too.

Here I’ve used a combination of plugins, including Koala which you can see loaded as a side panel, another new feature in this release and I demonstrate clips that are MIDI based and audio based. The drums are playing within Koala which is synced to the host apps (Loopy) clock. This is a nice way of working, in fact there are a load of ways you can use this software.

I shall explore those options in future longer videos where I will talk you through a few features.

A new track idea based on the sounds from one of Koalas new sound packs. I will purchase all of the packs later in the month but this is exciting stuff.

Will be very handy for the Sound Library too.

My favourite sampler app just gets better and better with every update they release. Yesterday they unveiled and rolled out, Koalaverse, their library of sample packs. The really funky thing is that each pack comes with a sound toy and this one called Valis generates one shot sound randomly based on a seed number.

in this video I demonstrate how this can be used to create new samples for use in musical projects.

First time I’ve really sat down and played with this app was today. Started screen recording and jammed this little number out with the groove box.

Just a very quick video I took earlier today to show the power of the weir at Shepperton on the River Thames. This was taken during our safety briefing and where the kayaker was in the water was pretty much as far as I went later. The last thing you want to happen is to get caught in the “boil” as it’s called. That’s too dangerous.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on new musical ideas which I tend to cook up on my iPad on Logic Pro. I’m testing out a patch on the Hydrasynth here and this is where things really start to shape up.

This is the lead melody I’m working on, there is a bass element and drum section too.
