Fantastic video, I have also liked several others of yours I've seen. I'm a keyboard player who has been away from music for awhile, but recently built an iPad only music studio, with Kurzweil midi synth keyboard, and just got my new Launchpad Pro MK3 yesterday through which I discovered the iPad apps you demonstrate here. It would have taken eons for me to figure out how to use them together! Thanks!
Hey Andante51, Thanks so much for this comment. Yeah, I started out with Drums and Keyboard before switching to the iPad. Recently built a keyboard rig also using just the iPad. Been all around this year, so I wasn’t able to make a proper video but I plan on releasing a video explaining my setup. Here’s the current list of gears if it helps - Yamaha MX 61 keyboard (I personally like this keyboard…will explain in a later video), Arturia Keylab Essentials 49 keyboard (you could use your Kurzweil Midi Synth keyboard here), an iPad Mini 4 (may do some tests with an iPhone), and a 2-keyboard stand combined with a USB hub, and a Lightning dongle, combined with power bricks. I do use the Launchpad Pro Mk2 that I have (i think the Pro MK3 is a better buy), although I’m experimenting with it in a DJ setup. Ampify Launchpad is a great app for the controller. I’m experimenting with Djay Pro, Koala Sampler, Remix Live, and a few other apps. Here’s hoping something comes out of it. But all in all, thanks so much for joining the channel. Keep up the great work.
@@SEONNTHAPRODUCER Thank you for your detailed and information filled reply Seonn! Also in my earlier comment I failed to say how very much I liked the clip you built in this video - I even went back and watched the whole thing again, very nice to listen to! I like your emphasis on the basics, I get so caught up in trying to pick out the right gear, and know I need to start with Launchpad at square 1. It sure doesn't help that there are so few vids out there that focus on using the LPP with Ipads! But that means that you should get a heck of a lot of views on your iPad focused ones 🙂 Before a big move distracted me in 2020, I had a well functioning iPad music studio way back in 2015-2016, most of my old apps still work great, with updates of course. I have several computers right in the same room I could use, but I only like using the iPad for music, lol! I also started watching all your other vids too. All the best in your music endeavors! P.S. I am having a lot of fun with Ampify's Launchpad - just downloaded Groovebox and Blocs Wave too.
and in order to export the files from blocks wave to launchpad like you show in the video, do we need to buy any unlock or just free version of launchpad lets us do that? please guide me and what do you think about their monthly subscription model do you use it?
Exporting is free. You can even do that step without paying for the app. The reason I pay the full unlock is for stem import, and to chop loops up. Plus, I like the interface of Blocs Wave. I personally haven’t tried the monthly subscription. I got the one time unlock of Blocs Wave and that has been enough. Henny ThaBizness also uses this app a ton in his videos and he’s killing it over on his channel.
Make a better MIDI implementation for Groovebox. Multichannel assignable input with midi learn for mapping controls and PLEASE fix the sections to change on bar or end of pattern like Ableton!
Sorta. If you have the Launchpad unlock, it allows you to import audio and you can send it to Launchpad. I personally use the Blocs Wave unlock which means I can further edit it.
Actually, i really like the free version. I paid for the unlock but it wasn’t as big of an advantage as opposed to getting Blocs Wave unlock, and the full Koala Sampler suite. Also check out Reason Compact. It’s also a free app that is similar to Groovebox although you make a Reason account, which gives you some free stuff as well.
Hi SEON, thanks for this video showing us how to combine those nice apps 👌, what IAP’s do I need for this (Groovebox ? / Blocs Wave ? / Launchpad ?) ?? Thanks in advance ✌️😎🙏
At around 525 you find a melody that’s already been programmed; I said to myself, “I like that!” And then I cracked up because because you then said, “I like that!” That was cool and funny, but then you did something that I wanted to give you a shout out for... you didn’t just use that melody, but you said it was beautiful and that it inspired you to hear and create a variation of the theme. A great idea, and although as musicians we do that all the time when we’re playing live with people, I guess I’ve just never thought of doing it with a machine. FUTURE LOOK: We’ve been hearing an awful lot lately about artificial intelligence and nano technology. I’m curious as to why we’re not hearing anything about artificial intelligence and musical composition. Has anybody heard anything? You see, forgive me if I sound like I’m on an ego trip because believe me I’m not; but this is how social media and the Internet should really be working. This young man posted a video and he has created a dialogue, and then we come in through our two cents instead of speak. I wish there was someway that when you subscribe to a TH-cam channel that there’s sort of a back channel or green room or a chat option where people can really communicate in real time. So how would it work? Well I don’t know anything about coding or computer stuff, but what I am envisioning is the click a button and there’s a chat room. The author of the video can have different levels of participation, there would be a way for members to text one another inside bars and collaborate and make connections. You see, it’s not enough to have the connection, we have to fucking do something with it. When I was 19 years old I was chosen by the state department to tour the former Soviet Union. I spent three months living and getting and playing dozens of shows and concerts all over that huge country; 11 time zones that stretch from Western Europe to the tip of Alaska! My father had a heart attack six days before I left and he was barely hanging on. I’m in the hospital holding his hand and he opens up his eyes long enough to look at me and say, “ you’re going to Russia, i’ll be here when you get back.” Why do I bring this up? Because I left my father in what the doctors were saying was going to be his deathbed. He had lost 40% of his heart muscle and it didn’t look. So I left my father there and I left the United States and I left western civilization in for three months I lived in a country where there was no such thing as advertising. There were no billboards. No consumer magazines with glossy pictures of pretty girls. And, it was 1976, no Internet, no cell phones, no way for me to call home to see if my father was alive. And while I lived in this communist country, I saw your friends and I talked and talked and talked long into the night about the arms race, nuclear weapons, nuclear winter. And because I was on a special trip representing the United States, we went everywhere. We went to places that had not seen in American since the communist revolution. The silk road? Yeah I did that. Central Asia, Siberia, Ukraine. Central point of our conversations also include how it was impossible for our two people to communicate with one another. The Soviets did live in a closed society no doubt about it. But I’ve never met such a beautiful generous people as I did in the Soviet union. And I’ve been all over the world my friends. I guess I’m rambling about this but, the idea that one day I could pick up a telephone (telephone!) and communicate with all of you good people from all over the world, well it wasn’t science fiction, even science fiction writers didn’t ever write stories about social media the rise of instantaneous communication. And every once in a while, and tonight is a perfect example, I am completely got smacked by how easy it is for all of us to communicate with one another. Unfortunately the Internet is cutting really shitty lately. They’re scraping our data and personal information and using it to distort elections in the United States and elsewhere. That’s fucked up brothers and sisters, and that’s not what this thing is supposed to be about. Then we have our trolls and spammers and people writing shitty snippy remarks at other people and you know it brings out the worst sometimes you know? It’s like being in a big city and everybody drives like an asshole, because although people can see you there’s a certain amount of an amenity when you’re in your car, right? So you think you can flip somebody off and fuck them so and so forth. What’s the same thing with the Internet the same thing with TH-cam and all these other media outlets. OK enough out of me, I just want to congratulate this young man for his good work, I appreciate the ability to at least make a comment, and if anybody wants to weigh in I guess we do it here. So by all means if you feel like it hit reply and let’s talk about music! I mean, I am looking for people to collaborate with, and so hit me up😉
This was a great read. Thanks for sharing. Yeah, it’s funny how ideas resonate with others. Sometimes I work on an idea, and it goes a completely different direction. The future is always unknown. What I find in common a lot of times is that finding the right way to engage is always tricky. Live stream, group chats, collaborative projects are a few examples that’s coming up in recent years, although it’s always a slow grind to finding the one that works. Technology, as with a lot of tools, had the potential for great things and also drastic consequences. There’s never a right answer to a lot of unintended consequences but it’s important to recognize them as they come, and do ones best in mitigating the risk. Thanks for sharing. Was very educational
@@SEONNTHAPRODUCER Yeah man, for true! Let’s stay in touch. I’d be happy to do some collaboration even if it’s just in the realm of discussing various apps and so forth. I’ve been doing a lot of primitive sound design and be happy to do a common commons arrangements so that you could use my material. Maybe we can swap etc. it’s really starting to feel like This online thing is definitely where we’re headed and I don’t believe that the so-called normal world will ever return. At least I hope not! You take care in the meantime and do reach out when you have a minute thanks
Sounds good. I made one of my earlier projects available for collaboration earlier this year. It’s over at - gumroad.com/seonnthaproducer There’s a few more things I want to try this year in the realm of collaboration, but it’ll take some time to get right. Stay tuned, haha 😃
For those curious how I sent the files from Groovebox to Blocs wave, I used this iOS shortcut- routinehub.co/shortcut/5046/
Cool video man, i liked. Hello from Brazil.
Thanks so much. Hope you’re having fun using iOS apps.

Wow! This was insane! The best realtime shooting on iPad music making! I love ya!..

@@SEONNTHAPRODUCER Thanks Brother ! You are awesome !
Excellent progression! 👍
Thank you! 🎉
Any time
are you using groove box paid version?
Actually, i really like the free version. I paid for the unlock but it wasn’t as big of an advantage as opposed to getting Blocs Wave unlock, and the full Koala Sampler suite.
Also check out Reason Compact. It’s also a free app that is similar to Groovebox although you make a Reason account, which gives you some free stuff as well.
@@SEONNTHAPRODUCER ok thanks.

Great question. I used (and recommend) Blocs Wave unlock because Blocs Wave is a great loop manager/editor.
Cool!
Thanks 😊
