This is what I am doing Sunday mornings at church right now. Of course if you use the external SeaBoard Blocks you get even greater nuance to your sounds! But that is an entirely different post!ĪDVANCED – I think there is a more advanced level which is even more satisfying! (which by the way does NOT mean difficult to pull off!) the Noise app is a lot of fun to use as a basic performance instrument! IT offers greater flexibility and nuance to the sound you produce then using a traditional keyboard.
This would offer teachers amazing sounds played with a traditional keyboard.Īnother example would be to use a Roli Seaboard Block and their Noise app. So for instance a MIDI keyboard connected through the camera connector kit to Korg Module. INTERMEDIATE – The second level would be to use an external controller combined with one app on your iPad. Animoog, ThumbJam, GeoSynth, and GeoShred are some fine examples of great apps that go beyond simply offering a traditional keyboard to play on. There are several different stages of using your iPad as an instrument.īASIC – The most basic is to simply use the screen of the iPad as the playing surface and to use one app as the sound source. When I do I usually am not the main keyboardist so it allows me the freedom to provide backup sounds and to play with all these amazing apps! There are SO many amazing sounding music instrument apps available these days that now I REALLY want to use my iPad as an instrument! Thankfully I get a chance to do that because I play at church frequently. I can not fathom having to go back to paper music. It helps me stay organized on a daily basis. It is still one of the biggest reasons I use an iPad. Putting all my sheet music on an iPad is one of the reasons I purchased an iPad the day it first came out.
So I am having a harder time these days using an iPad for simply just reading music from during a performance. KeyStage – $25 (It was on a Black Friday Sale when I bought it) Here are some links to the apps you will see in the video. This post is about how I use an iPad, the KeyStage app and a bunch of other apps to make my performances so much more dynamic and easier as a keyboardist! At the end I have a YouTube video to walk you through my performance setup.
