Muzz Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I use a Hercules iPad holder, on a normal mike stand. I'd rather not go too cheap on a holder and risk failure. I was looking for a longer Sonic Port -> iPad lead (didn't find one), but with the holder above, I can position the iPad near to the Sonic Port, which I have on my amp/rack.

Monckyman Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Well, my Hong Kong Camera kit+M Audio Mobile pre setup has decided it no longer works, (poss as a result of ios upgrade), so I'm in the market for a Sonic port if anyone has a spare they want to move on.

[/quote] Is the expression pedal input on the Blueboard for a bog standard http://basschat.co.uk/topic/242160-moog-ep-2-expression-pedal-l25-delivered/ kind of thing or is it some fancy-dan continuous midi controller thang?

tayste_2000 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Standard, I've used it with a crappy bespeco expression pedal, you just have to remember to calibrate it in the blueboard app. I think the line 6 or boss expression pedals would probably be fine for it.

steve Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Inspired by the Loopy app (instead of getting an RC-300 or boomerang) I've pulled the trigger on a Sonic Port and the requisite apps, however, I need an app that can step through a sequence of midi cc messages (to send to Loopy using CoreMidi or via the freEwi app) triggered by a blueboard. Does anyone have any suggestions of such an app? Ideally one that has a free version to try out before I make a financial commitment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] possibly yeh, so I can mute some loops and unloop others simultaneously for different song sections. I've just picked up a second hand blueboard off here, and I have a bluetooth keyboard which I might hack into another footcontroller, so I might not need a specific app. Having said that, it would be nice to have an app running which automated song structure (and possibly drums too) and did all the switching between presets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Nothing that I know of but, you can amp the same midi control to do multiple things in loopy so 1 button press could do everything you're asking. Remember you can add foot switches and get 8 commands going through a single blueboard I'm also not sure you can run 2 blueboard a at a time if you can let me know I'd love one doing programme changes and 1 doing command changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I didn't know about the multiple commands, that and an extra footpedal might give me enough control. Any recomendations for a footswitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Auria provide track automation the same way as say Cubase, Reason and other Windows based DAWs? Could midi tracks in Auria be used to control Loopy by sending PC or CC messages?

woodyratm Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 What power amps are you guys using (if any)? I'd like to take ipad, light amp and barefaced cab for gigs and practice. Was eying up the EHX magnum 44 but not sure its loud/clean enough. I'd rather any distortion came from my actual preamp tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I've used mine straight into the front of my Genz shuttle 9. Completely changes the amp sounds. Dry and with my pedals it's not a big bottom monster but with the iPad stuff becomes a giant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parametric EQ + Multiband compression + Limiting etc etc etc [/quote] certainly considering something like this. I've used audiobus with jamup/bias into the PA at rock band rehearsals which sounded promising (not gigged it yet tho') and at some point I want to try a similar setup with the upright, where it would be nice to have a couple of parametric modules 'on standby' to control potential feedback amongst other things. Positive Grid do a nice mastering app which might be worth an experiment with to polish a live sound too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
