and you just sent me a text on how they upgraded the firmware OMG

It's a good time to bump this thread, I think! A lot has changed since 2011 in iOS music.

Propellerhead's Figure is amazing. Really fun interface and you can sync between other devices running it. V cool.

Korg Gadget is an iPad only app that just looks awesome IMO. It's an environment that gives you multiple miniature synths and drum machines and lets you creatively combine them to make music. If I had an iPad this app would be a MUST have.

Bias' JAMUP is one of the best guitar rigs I've ever used. I saw danimal rock it a lot live and instantly bought a copy for myself. I have a full pedalboard guitar rig with Ableton live, but next time I need to travel a long distance for a show I will definitely use JAMUP for my guitar processing. Fuck checking in a pedalboard at the airport, haha

VIVIDTRACKER is a full-on MOD tracker for iOS. You can't beat this. I don't know if I'd ever use it for creating MODs, but this is a great tool for loading in MODs and studying how they're made. Very fun and respected app.

LOOPY is a super cool live looper. You can even sync it to other devices within iOS. If this had functionality for hardware such as a footswitch and MIDI sync, this would be the single most important device in music for me right now

I had no idea LSDJ could be used as a MIDI sequencer...?!

Chiptunes=WIN actually hosts a really cool user-submitted Google Map plotting the locations of anyone who does stuff sympathetic to chiptune / "nerd culture" related work. I don't know how up to date it is but it could be very useful to take a glance at and find the closest people near you !

FWIW, I have been living in Richmond, Virginia (an area completely devoid of any kind of "chipscene" and at least six hours any direction towards anything else) since March and only played a couple shows in the past year. I believe Danimal is in super northern upstate New York, an area with music scenes I'm sure but I also don't think there's a "chip scene" there either. but he gigs out with multiple projects and makes it work for him. we all have to realize that "chipscenes" like NYC and Philadelphia simply didn't exist ten years ago - it was just people reaching out to each other via e-mail and then hanging out. there's always a way to make it work

And I've been doing almost all of the suggestions I made in my previous post to a surprising amount of relative success, actually. and there's nothing special about my situation, I'm just trying to suggest that you aren't 100% governed by where you live. It may require different strategies but I think the sounds of chipmusic are more familiar to many ears in this time period than they ever were before. You'd almost have to find a population of people that have never heard of a computer before to find people that don't "get it"

and kind of tangenting further with something brought up on the last page, but IMO it works to let people call it what they view it as and instead just hone your skills to the point where people want to see it again. even if they don't want to see it again, keep pushing it until you find people that do
