Many have dismissed the iPad and other tablets as tools for hobbyist producers rather than legitimate components of a professional studio setup. However, the potential of these devices with regards to pro production is beginning to blossom. Thanks to Zerodebug’s Modstep, audio professionals have some amazing capabilities at their fingertips (no pun intended!); the so-called “modulation monster” and fully-fledged MIDI sequencer is a unique beast, well-worth taming for your own creative purposes.
With the ability to function as a central hub for your music-making, Modstep allows you to manipulate MIDI with an unlimited number of tracks. Ā UtilizingĀ Zerodebug’s Studiomux technology, users can stream both MIDI and Audio to their PC or Mac, or sequence external MIDI devices, Inter-App Audio software, and a built-in synth and sampler. Additionally, up to 128 MIDI CCs can be modulated on each track. Furthermore, the app is backward-compatible with all versions of the iPad, all the way back to the largely antiquated first generation release. Check out the video aboveĀ to see Modstep in action, andĀ head on over to theĀ Apple App StoreĀ to purchaseĀ the app forĀ for Ā£14.99/$19.99.
