Anyone familiar with this site? http://equipboard.com
It's a growing database of artists and gear. Just randomly found it looking for something about synths that Tycho has used.

You can view by equipment and then see the musicians who have used that gear. Pretty cool.

In my ongoing saga to understand how to connect an iOS device to Logic, and use as either a controller for instruments in Logic, or, to control apps with a separate MIDI controller, I came across the iRig MIDI 2 (someone might have suggested that a while back in a related question).
Does anyone use it? http://www.ikmultimedia.com/prod…
If so, maybe you can answer these questions for me:
Am I correct that with it:
1) I can connect an iOS device to use purely as a controller for instruments in Logic.
2) I can use my existing MIDI keyboard, plugged into the computer, to control sounds in an iOS app, and output as audio.Thanks for the feedback if you're familiar with this.
- i've only done it a few of times but worked for me with a £10 miditech usb -> midi in/out cable and a lightning -> camera connector cable.kingsteven
- Am I missing something? Logic comes with an app that enables an iPad to control it... Does that not work for you? I used to use it a lot and it worked great.fadein11
- fadein, the Logic app only works one way, it won't control any iOS apps.keewee
- and that Logic apps works over Wi-Fi. Can't remember if it can work wired.mg33

Sooooo excited for this one as I am a big Beatnuts fan, like their first lp and ep was a brain melter for me when it dropped, amazing production and proper 90s rhyme styles. Been on repeat since forever for me.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed he didn't use the 950 or the MPC sitting there, was expecting him to use that gear... instead, all in the can with the Abletons. However... dope Beatnuts beat!

- Things go faster on ableton, you need time for that s950/mpc stuff.ApeRobot
- Dude was a dud. He needs a coffee.stoplying

Tell me you find this as awkward as I do.
- really don't like either of their music. especially tycho - bland wash of major chord non-melodies.inteliboy
- I hear more minor chords than I do major. But, yeah, are you nuts? Mouse guy's music is fukin shit.section_014
- both over ratedinteliboy

anyone ever play with lsdj?
- i do, and have stockpiled a bunch of DMGs to have a few at the ready in my little studio, bought lots of parts and mods, haven't spent time to build em all upprophetone
- Kitsch Bent just posted a restock of lots of stuff incl. clear DMG cases which have been sold out forever http://store.kitsch-…prophetone
- sweet, i've just started modding myself. try ebay if k-b is ever out, i've found shells on there as wellscarabin

BTW this is what chiptune hoarding looks like Scarabin, don't let this happen to you... haha
- lol. i'm halfway there already :)scarabin
- so my obsessive problem is, i am prob going to buy two clear shell kits to convert those gray DMGs... as you can see though I have several clear ones alreadyprophetone
- i bought them to have 'clear' ones... but now that i have them i don't want to mess them up b/c they're dope as collectables, so now i am buying more stuffprophetone
- ...to make my gray DMGs clear, for modding... which is kinda insane... this is the chiptune sickness hahaprophetone
- i'm working on a clear one now. adding UV leds inside and glow in the dark buttonsscarabin

Latest track. Shameless sample I know...

Thoughts?- Nice, scratch's are a bit too much i think. Kick got lot's of subs that interfere with the bass line, making it a bit messy.ApeRobot
- My two cents.ApeRobot
- yeah - I agree with both - think it;s just a case of too many scratches. And too many vocal samples. Loads I hate about it. Think I am moving onto the next one.fadein11
- it's been hanging about for a while - was just kind of nice to get it arranged and then realise it's not my best effort.fadein11

- SAMPLR is an amazing app. Try using it on strings - really expressive https://www.youtube.…microkorg

I do a lot of beat variations in Ableton with legato and the launch modes.
I thought this was useful for users of Machine seeking some variation.
