New set up test three. Now that other gear can be used in conjunction with the op1, I was able to try out a new midi controller app for the iPad : Beatsurfing.

Imho, its the best 'build a midi controller' app that has been made so far. It is designed in a way that is more conducive to working with a PC and software synths, however, there is still a lot that can be done in an all hardware setup like mine.

This video shows a template I have created. In this test of the app, I chose to try and keep it simple with focus on being musical rather than create a complex setup where I tend to lose the music along the way.

Dystopian

First test of the Beatsurfing app.  While creating the template I lost a bit of the musical sense along the way. As such, the track turned out rather dark and distorted for my taste. Firts impressions are that this is a really great app.

 The right side of the template (that goes unused) contains what became the start of a a new template. I will try again with a more simple arrangement, with the new template.

Wormhole

New setup test two. It lacks the extra elements that are more easily added while working on the op1alone. However the benefits of the compressor and more elaborate outboard fx are worthy editions.
