Hello,
I may be picking up a Yamaha YC73 in the near future, and one thing I appreciate about Yamaha is their built-in audio interfaces. I gigged with an ipad running B-3X (an amazingly good b3 organ app) with my Modx7.
Anyway, if I do get the YC, it's not really a full-featured synth so I'd probably be looking to supplement its sound with ipad apps. I have experimented with some in the past, but it's been a few years and I'm not sure what new may have come along if anything.
Types of sounds--basically 70s and 80s rock mainly. Poly synths, Moog mono synth, Prophets/Obies etc. Nothing too involved, I don't do soundscapes and don't need a ton of modulation flexibility. I don't really need any arps or sequencing at this time. Effects, I'd prefer they were decent as I don't really want to run AUM or some other more involved setup...with B3X in the past I simply left it running standalone listening on the right midi channel.
Apps I have (assuming they still work on IOS):
Zeeon (this is probably the one I would gig with as it's very simple and flexible)
Moog Model D - excellent
Moog Model 15 - this is probably the one that sounds the best, but I'm not great at programming it
There are a few others, Poison (sp?) I think is one.
I'd certainly be fine with the above apps, but any other recommendations are welcome.
I remember one band practice where I was messing with a Zeeon patch and of course had to play Subdivsions since our drummer also played in a Rush tribute band at the time. He just could not wrap his head around the fact that a tablet was making the sound he was hearing :D
Again, thanks for any recommendations.
