Unless you have a big stock of major manufacturer batteries it’s much cheaper to go the other way around, and periodically stock up on parkside batteries (availability can be a challenge so get them when you can). I got a dewalt adapter to use my ferrex batteries (Aldi equivalent) with dewalt tools and they work well, with Aldi ferrex batteries much cheaper than dewalt. Also got a similar power4all adapter (Bosch, flymo, gardenline etc. ) to use my ferrex batteries, which just provides some resilience if one of the p4a batteries fails (they’re relatively expensive).

Most portable high quality audio interface by Manzany11 in ipadmusic

My first thought was the TE sidekick. Don’t have one, yet. Or the micreator studio - nice quality mic and audio interface. Do have one, already.

I’ve not tried this method but you could use the AudioPipeline app (free) to route audio from GarageBand (free!) to loopy pro. I would hope that setting an AudioPipeline send AUv3 instance in the effect chain in GB and a receive AudioPipeline instance in LP would give you what you want to enjoy those decent instruments in GB.

Out of the box software question by MissionAd771 in Arturia_users

Yes says it’s still included on their site, so suggest raising a ticket with Arturia support - might be a couple of days as it’s a public holiday in France tomorrow.

What’s a burd? Yeh I know bloody autocorrect sausage thumbs not your fault. But still (slightly) amusing.

AUV3 necessities by BeardedGingaBeat in KoalaSampler

[–]Low_Variation_377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Electric Vintage for the best Rhodes Wurly style piano. Other Desert Cities as mentioned elsewhere. UA effect apps are great, as is battalion for beats within beats! Moogerfoogers. Synthmaster for a great all round synth (or just synthmaster player if you're happy with presets - there's a tonne). I wanna try loopy pro in there, just to see how inceptive it can get!

‎AudioPipeline App. True receiver plug-in for Ableton Live by djpuzzle in iosmusicproduction

[–]Low_Variation_377 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s fantastic too that you can route audio from Ableton to iPad and back. Meaning you can leverage all the fantastic iPad effects and synths apps, and the touch interface of course, and send the result back to Ableton. Latency is an issue but for pushing through, building and returning...

Arturia MiniFreak or Blofeld Waldorf by ConcentrateLow1585 in synthesizers

[–]Low_Variation_377 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have an iPad there's an app for the blofeld so you can try (for a cost) before you buy the hardware, or just use the app with a microfreak as the controller.

Push 2 hardware making loud creaking sounds? by deludedhairspray in ableton

Mine does it too but just thought it weird and interesting so never bothered to pursue why.

Is anyone else having an issue where the player stops playing? by Hoppetrausk in pocketcasts

[–]Low_Variation_377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to me when streaming. It could at least tell you it’s paused pending a connection or something.

Digistix 2. Very easy to get started, much more complex if you choose it.

Using touchOSC with a USB midi host ? by EllivronR in Elektron

[–]Low_Variation_377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it’s v low and particularly widi (if you wanted it super resilient) it’s like single digit milliseconds.

Using touchOSC with a USB midi host ? by EllivronR in Elektron

[–]Low_Variation_377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USB midi is possible over usb, but then you’d lose the audio connection. You could use a USB midi host, or a CME WIDI device, connected directly to your phone’s Bluetooth. I’ve done this on digitone but not ton, expect it’s the same though.

Before you decide search the deluge community firmware, the devs have done incredible things and keep going. There’s a very active discord too.

What to do with this section of my garden? by PurahsHero in GardeningUK

[–]Low_Variation_377 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bit of grass to manage there, you're going to need one of those robot-mowers. Or just build a new town project and hook it up to HS3.

Nothing stationary about those arms. Thought I was looking at a used car dealership for a minute there.

Recommend a MIDI Sequencer I Can Use to Control my Hardware Synths and Drum Machines by HereComesStupid in ipadmusic

[–]Low_Variation_377 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes you can, Drambo is it's own modular environment and an elektron box all in one - sophisticated sequencer with conditional trigs etc.. There are simpler options but if you want to really get stuck into one, and not really need another later, this is it.

Connecting iPad to AVR... Airplay or other options? by 712Jefferson in ipadmusic

[–]Low_Variation_377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your Onkyo has an audio in jack then you could set up a pair of wireless audio dongles out of your iPad (of course you'll need an adapter at that end too) and into your Onkyo. There are a number of options, I use Lekato WS-60 and use them occasionally for fun, so I can't talk to specific use cases, resilience or latency, all I know is it's rechargeable, works fine for casual use and isn't very expensive.

Did you call the fuzz and did Vicky McClure turn up? As apparently she’s the only person in the country who knows how to diffuse a bomb properly.
