(I also don’t know what he’s got against the Sensel Morph.) iOS apps that work as touch MPE touch controllers include GeoShred (probably the most capable, but very much built on a guitar fingerboard paradigm, as are the iFretless apps), ROLI’s Seaboard 5D and Noise (the latter needs to be hosted as an AUv3 in GarageBand or similar to be used as an independent controller and sound source), and the various Moog synth apps, which offer the distinctive Animoog MPE control surface as a keyboard alternative. Roger Linn’s listing of MPE-savvy apps & hardware is an essential resource here, and better updated than most, though still always a little behind the curve. Artiphon have some helpful tutorials on the kludge needed to get it to approximate it, but Ableton are behind the game compared to Logic, Cubase, and even GarageBand. I wouldn’t myself recommend Ableton for Orba use, because it doesn’t implement proper MPE. MPE is still quite a youthful technology, with which most manufacturers and developers have yet to catch up, but while it hasn’t made existing electronic music resources obsolete, as a rule of thumb I’d suggest prioritising things that actually factor MPE in, because it’s certain to be one of the things that differentiates the Orba as a physical controller, particularly at its insanely entry-level price point. Current issue has a small item on the Orba, which is a good sign.Ī key thing to factor in about the Orba is that it’s an MPE controller.

Not only does this give you permanent access to any of their download archives you unlock (which include a lot of custom editions of commercial software as well as freeware, tutorial files and videos), but they carry excellent tutorials in all aspects of music theory and technology in each issue.

My next top tip would be to take advantage a free trial sub to Apple News+ and go through back issues of Computer Music magazine. It doesn’t really cover combining multiple waveforms, but it comes with a fantastic set of presets by master sound designer Spidericemidas that showcase this and which you can take apart to see how the things you learn in Syntorial can be extended and built on. There are some brilliant music educators here who’ll probably have their own thoughts, but you couldn’t have chosen better than to start with Syntorial, which is far and away the best introduction to sound design, and necessarily includes a lot of effects 101 (chorus, delay, reverb, though not things like compression, EQ, bitcrushing, or sidechaining). I really like Autechre’s use of seemingly random and chaotic patterns and time signatures and Aphex Twin’s playfulness and use of jazz, funk and classical music in some of his tracks.Īnyway, thanks for any advice people can give. I know I am not going to create anything as complex or intricate as most of those musicians but if there’s some way I can get a smidgen of what they do, that would be great. I really like stuff like Autechre and Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada and Four Tet and The Field (I really love how he uses loops and how a track evolves). I’m interested in making ambient and experimental tracks or drones and anything generative and random that can evolve over a long time.

Sorry I know this is an extremely broad subject and there isn’t any “one answer for all” but I just want to get an idea of how to go about things. The Push 2 controller looks fab too but seeing as I am extremely new to this, I think restricting myself to the iPad may be best for now. I am very tempted to get Ableton seeing as that’s what a lot of people use but then that would need me to learn how to use a new DAW as well as how to actually make music. I’d preferably prefer iOS apps and I don’t have any other midi controller (yet!). I want to try and get a basic knowledge in preparation for when the Orba is released so I can use that in a more creative way and at least have some sort of an idea on where to take it and how to use it. I have also just got Syntorial to learn synthesis basics but I haven’t got a clue about how to program drum patterns or how to use EQ’s or compression and effects etc.

Hi, I’ve just backed the Orba over on Kickstarter and have bought an iPad Pro 12.9 and wondered if anyone could give me advice on learning to make music (all aspects from recording/producing beats and synth lines etc to mixing and mastering and anything in between or outside of that).
