This is so sweet for guitarists and keyboardists who would like to groove with a three piece - can't think of a better set of apps than this and a few of Luis's drum apps. Anywhere, anytime, lots of presets to just jam with, plus the ability to program parts for live/studio use. Great demo, Bravo @Lumbeats 👏👏👏

Absolutely brilliant!

I’ve been wanting an app like these for so long! Thanks Doug for your video review,as always top notch! Finally got the $ to get the app via your link.

Looks great, luis martinez rules!

Luis has changed the game drastically. Bravo.

Snagged, good demo. Integration with his other apps pushes it over the edge and encourages me to invest more in them. Silly easy to get something musical going.

Brilliant!

Started playing the guitar back in the 80s, what you can do with the ipad blows my mind, ten rears ago we didnt know what an ipad was.

Wow! Have just purchased both iBassist and Mid East Drummer from your links😎🎤 Utterly amazing! I remember when a 4 track sequencer was a massive slab for £200 quid and I couldn’t afford that let alone a Yamaha QX sequencer. Aye. Young people t’day don’t know their born. They’ve never ‘ad it so good... 🤐🎚👍

Forgot to add: you still have to pay for the iPad to play iBassist, so there's still a matter of blasting out $200 quid, or a lot more I guess.

Awesome!!!

What a cool program. It's going to be a real boon for i0s musicians. Would be cool if there was some way to introduce fret noises, etc like a jog wheel to tune in the density of fret noises. I'll be getting both this and a drum in the next couple of days

Thx Doug!

Great videos

The Sound Test Room my pleasure. Really showed up the capabilities here and in the chords vid.

This is great. its definitely a purchase for me. However as far as I know there is no distorted guitar iPad App like Shreddage in the App Store. There is Drums, Orchestras, Pianos, Bass, Tons of Synths but no metal guitar Library App that I know of. Hopefully one of these days someone will put one out.

Can’t you run iBassist into a distortion FX app? I know that’s a workaround, but conceptually not different than plugging a bass guitar into a distortion pedal.

I'm so wishing Luis Martinez would update it to run on iPhone. Fingers crossed 🤞

Thanks Doug, this first look is pretty cool. There seems to be lots more to explore: midi in and out? Can you edit the pattern, and if so how to keep it in key? Does it have Panning? Look forward to more demos to see what this can do.

Hi Toz, you can absolutely create your own patterns and set the key changes however you like, I don't think it has panning as bass is usually panned central, however you can easily pan it in AUM

thesoundtestroom - LOL, you should know the panning question is an in-joke from the AB forums! 🤓

Can you take the midi notes from IBassist and put into DAW like BM3

Is it possible to sync the drum and bass apps to an external sequencer? How?

‪How do you deal with drum fill introductions and anacrusis, in song mode, for iBassist & Reggae Drummer? ‬

Hello. Is it easy to record and EQ bass lines from this app straight into an iPad DAW?

How do you get this to sync start in AUM?

I wish Logic would add other intuitive virtual musicians like their Drummer. The technology has been readily available for a long time. Professional Arranger keyboards like the Korg Pa series and others have these features but they are mostly intended for live performance. It is possible to integrate the hardware into one’s workflow, but it involves a lot of MIDI mapping, and it’s only possible on the desktop (so far I haven’t been able to run the internal software of the Korg on iPad Pro, as there are no drivers on iOS). Logic Pro’s Drummer is truly ingenious. I can’t get results like that on Groove Agent in Cubase 13. On another note, I liked iBassist so much, I immediately bought their Middle Eastern Drummer, only to find out that it is not an AUv3!😢 Do you know if they’re planning to update it? As always, thanks for the videos. 🤛

Now Auv3!

So these are the accompaniment features that have been in "Keyboard Arrangers" for years. But this is definitely the cheaper way to get them on any keyboard.

Hi Doug and thanks for the video. I have a question about iBassist but I believe the answer will go far beyond this one app. Is the reason that people complain about apps not being AUv3 because non-AUv3 apps don’t allow their settings to be saved when they are being run inside something like AUM? I really like the way iBassist coordinates with Soft Drummer. Do you know of any AUV3 Bass and Drum apps that work together like iBassist and Soft Drummer? Thanks again.

Hey Doug, thank for video, buyer, I have an issue about the Chord Progression sequence with the MIDI Detection Chords, I have connected a midi keyboard, hit the record button, playing some chords, but none are added to this progression chord sequence. Any idea, thank you.

Smack Dammit Well, as Doug demonstrated, it is clearly AUv3 compatible.

Doug, does iBassist have a jazz bass line option so I can play it with Jazz Drummer?

Does it sync with GarageBand drumming

What can a measure be broken down to as chord changes ..eights ?

the sound "Pick Muted" is soooo John Paul Jones :')

Is he planning an iPhone release?

Will iBassist follow me while I play KYBD live from one song to another key

Okay, so the range of Martinez's apps support each other and are supported by AUv3, BUT, are they Audiobus compliant? In other words, if I invest in these, can I expect to be able to use them as plugins in, say, Garageband?

@GaryR55

.....I'm getting this horrible feeling that the only way my question may be answered is by spending the money for iBassist, Soft Drummer and Jazz Drummer, then opening Audiobus 3 to see if any of them are actually listed as inputs.

....then again, in visiting the Lumbeat site, I did find mention of Audiobus, as well as Inter-App Audio, and even though it isn't mentioned there, you've shown that AUv3 is implemented, as well.

These are definitely not Auv3. If they were Auv3 Doug wouldn’t have to keep switching from AUM to the other apps. If they were Auv3 they would open up in a floating window inside of AUM. I believe they are IAA and AUM can route IAA but only 1 channel (1 instance of the app at a time). With Auv3 you can use multiple instances of the app inside the host.

Doug, are these Luis Martinez apps ok to use for my own commercial music production? Same question for thumbjam and speak unit. I am working on a 'beatnik jazz' song with a robot comedian idea.

Hi, I made a tutorial on what you can do with midi and how to set it up with iBassist, I hope this helps you out😎👍 kzread.info/dash/bejne/d3it1MOalpPfdLA.html

Is this app still relevant in 2021 or is there a better option? I ask because it seems the comments are mostly over 2 years+.

Looks great, but I don't have nor plan to get an iPad. Really puzzling as to why they keep producing these tools specific to iPad without having any exclusive contracts with Apple to produce solely on the iPad.

This is so much midi style as midi can be. Terrible sounds but a nice idea with a good space for improvements. However I would never ever use it in a song but only for reheaersal.

Purchased via tour link Doug but cant seem to get any sound when loading it into AUM with Rock Drum machine, is there anything I need to change in midi settings?

Its ok (doesnt sounds right many times) if you dont know how to play bass. Not my case. ;)

Jamming, jamming, jamming and playing around with the styles of the sythis..but how should i work and make a Song ? I think it is good for jamming but there is the point where you want to make a Song...good for playing gimmicks, that is all. No manual for the apps of the guy..why ? We don‘t want ableton link as long as there is no way to sync all with midi clock. That doesn‘t work. Just ableton link OR midi clock. That makes it all to a childs gimmick. After a few hours you have had fun with it, yes, but you have no song. And if, it is all too many jumping thru many apps and their sites. At least you have no control, just picking out what sounds good and nice...but not good for real song writer...that is my opinion.

Good bye money

Sounds fantastic. But is this the reason why we now have Kanye Wests instead of David Bowie’s? It’s lazy creativity...in my opinionated mind. Like the Random buttons. May as well just skip the creative process and just have synths that make the song for you. This chaps Apps are great quality though. Wonder how he rarely gets a mention in the App Store. BB still get over 40% of those recommended Apps. I order of Louis Martinez is happy at that monopolising? I did have a online chat with Bram. He doesn’t like me. Not many people do. But I asked him if he thought this Monopoly is fair? Odd how he had a lot to say but didn’t answer that one question.

Junk without a manual, and BS from the developer as to its existence

I look at these tools as just building a quick prototype, which you then sus out by hand, not actually using it straight out of the random computer generation. Otherwise, it'd be pretty goddamn boring to make music with if all you did is press buttons & let it do it on its own (like modulator synths).
