Jamming on an iPad 1 with the official demo ‘Submarine Drift’ track I made for KORG’s new iPolysix app. More details from Rutger on this production – plus lots of additional listening on iOS and DS alike: But if you already have that iPad “1,” the lesson is, don’t be shy about using it.) (Sounds as though his iPad was straining – I’d still encourage picking up an iPad mini or iPad 2, minimum, if you can, finding it used if you have to. Rutger reports a pleasant surprise: you can do this even on the first-generation iPad – the early-adopter device many developers are now more or less ignoring. (Composition trumps so-called audio “fidelity” again – for anyone complaining about sound quality, Rutger makes great, grungy, grooving tracks on that Nintendo game console.) Rutger has made a name for himself doing more with less, with a series of Nintendo DS-only albums and performances using Korg’s DS-10. (See my preview from Monday.)Īnd if you thought that official demo track that came with iPolysix sounded good, we’re pleased to learn it comes from Friend of the Site Rutger Muller. It also demonstrates some of the benefits of Korg treating iPolysix in this case as a full-blown production workstation, with multiple instruments and drums and mixer and performance tools, in a way that means you don’t necessarily have to bring in any other tool. It’s a reminder that you can curl up in bed tonight with this app and produce something. Listening to these tracks made on Korg’s new iPolysix is liberating in that way. It can mean, psychologically, that feeling of looking at just one tool and saying, here I go, I’m going to make something – and finish it. It means you can make music when you’re on a bus with nothing but a first-generation iPad and a copy of Polysix. So, instead, doing more with less can be something you do just because it’s liberating. Maybe it’s repeated so often that it ceases to mean anything I can find no harm in making music using the massive possibilities of a packed studio of gear or the endless depth of a computer. Doing more with less, and embracing limitations: it’s oft-repeated advice in music making.
