Rather not go #iPad for live?!
I love this effect: The #Descent #GranularReverb / #GranularDelay by #AudioDamage – live on bass: https://makertube.net/w/hMwaXVNb1mTMGMv28yDvwU
… on #Linux in #Carla. Yet I don't like PCs on stage so much.
I also like #DecentSampler which I can play via MIDI.
So I bought Descent for #IOS, Decent Sampler is free, and from previous experiments I have this CME WIDI Thru6 BT, a Bluetooth MIDI interface for IOS and others. There's a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface floating around… so fine?
Well, no. My iPad is an older model using #AppleLightning as a connector and this does not provide enough power. So the battery drains even when connected to the strongest power supply. This cannot be solved, except by buying a newer iPad.
I cannot feed my bass mono into Descent, since it always takes both interface channels as stereo. Descent support suggest buying the AUM plugin host for IOS.
All of a sudden, doing this on a Laptop with Linux and Carla seems so much simpler to me.
