Each new tutorial reminds us of of the nice way you share your skills with us. Thanks for doing so!

I haven't used Wavegenerator so far, but I like using Nave in my iPad. It's really great how the Kronos connects with the iPad via camera connection kit, and that opens a lot of possibilities.

Meamwhile I use my iPad Air with Cubasis (which is still developing) - connecting easily to the Kronos for midi and audio, and completely replacing the internal K sequencer for anything I record on the fly.

Thanks.

Hey, that looks great, thanks. I have some nice synths on my iPad (including Nave, and the idea of playing them from the Kronos and having them sounding through the Kronos sounds cool!

[levioter]

Hi Qui !
Excellent tutorial as always !
Great pad sounds !
Thanks a lot for sharing !


Cheers

[jeremykeys]

Once again, wow! Another great tutorial. Thanks!

[Bertotti]

Excellent. I trie this with animo an my iPhone a while back. Sadly I don't have a iPad to use nave on with my Kronos. I have tried Nave on a company iPad and it is a fantastic synth.
My only problem with iPads are I wish I could use more then one synth at a time, which is why I wish these synth apps were available on the computer so we could run multiple apps at once. Maybe that's just me though.

Thanks for the vid another excellent tutorial!

I don't know for certain but I think that with the new Audiobus upgrade it just might be possible to run more than one synth at a time. w
If anybody know for sure, that would be cool!
Especially in conjunction with your Kronos!

well, i'm sure that my current iPad 3 won't have enough cpu power to run two cpu intensive ipad synths at once. But i will definitely try out this new audiobus feature as soon as my new iPad air 2 will arrive (next week) and report here.

Thank you Qui!
Is there a way to send program changes to Nave? I find the on-screen program selection in the app very small. I'm tired of it.

Thanks Qui


I am looking for some warm atmospheric sounds for a Meditation CD I am planning. Slow Synth, motion Synth.

Have I missed any of your new stuff to purchase?

Cheers

no you didn't miss it yet, the release of the ambient dreams combi collection was delayed because i got very ill in the last few months. I was fighting a bacterial infection in my blood that didn't react to the antibiotics the doctors gave me. But eventually they succeeded and i'm almost recovered now, so i started working on the sound sets and tutorials again and they will be up as soon as possible.

[runningman67]

Man thats so bad and so similar to my situation except I had an infection in the large intestine starting in January that was mis-diagnosed, so its been a bit of a hellish few months with tests galore
Having my appendix out in two weeks

Anyhow, I hope you are well now and I will be sure to buy your next sound set.


It seems like a great coincidence that it times with my next project.

All the best.

[SanderXpander]

That's terrible, you guys! Glad to hear you're both on the mend again!

[Bertotti]

Been hot tubbing with the wrong people!
Kidding! but be careful over there and get well soon you guys!
