bjosko Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I got a Viscount Legend70"s Compact yesterday. Definitely a keeper, are starting to roll my own programs. I will try to write up a review on it later with pros and cons , if I can figure out to do it in a understandable English To my surprise it will playback from a IOS, only connected with a camera connection kit and USB cable through the master volume knob, so it is a win win, all my IOS music apps got a host in a simple way. But I am thinking to use this Legend to replace my NS, for that I miss something for my IPad that are easy to use and can playback simple samples, mostly a couple FX by triggering for example C2. I have used some hours on Google and YouTube, but most of them are looper and sequencer based. What I think I need are something where I can for example import a sample created in Logic and playback from the Legend. Any idea?

ElmerJFudd Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 One shots? Sound FX? Like orchestra hits, someone screaming? Or you want a good sample library of all kinds of sounds the Legend modules you have don"t cover? Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one with seagulls I am using as an intro and ending of a somg as an example. I will not try to sample and playback more regular synth sounds the Viscount are missing.

AnotherScott Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Does GarageBand let you assign different samples over different sets of keys? (Not taht the OP necessarily needs that.) My biggest issue with GB remains its poor MIDI implementation. It "listens" on all MIDI channels, so you can't use it in conjunction with any other MIDI sound generating app (it will always play, even when you only want to play the other app).

ElmerJFudd Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hey, no I don"t believe so, it seems to auto key map the sample. But if you have garage band installed, it"s useful if your needs are basic. Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelp Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I use BeatMaker 3. Dropbox import. Multiple banks of pads. Banks can be color coded. Quote Roland Fantom 06; Yamaha P-125; QSC K10; Cubase 13 Pro; Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Kelp, is there a sample length limit on the pads? Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelp Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I'm guessing no (practical) limit. I'd just been using short one-shots. The manual doesn't mention anything. As a test, I just loaded up a 70 MB stereo WAV file. 44.1 kHz. 24-bit. 4:40 long. Loaded up (from Dropbox) and triggered no problem.
