I'd rather play it with DOTS than use a keyboard like the rest! To do this was easy, if you have a USB MIDI device like this Alesis IO Dock - I plugged the MIDI OUT dongle on my Tenori-On W to a standard MIDI cable, then to the MIDI IN on the IO Dock. Start up Animoog, and press "SETUP" on the top bar. Press "Refresh MIDI Input(s)" if necessary. Then I selected the option "dock" from the list below. Then I pressed the "X/Y PAD" word on the top bar to go back to playing mode. The Animoog "listened" to the MIDI notes from Layer 1 of my Tenori-On, as if it was any keyboard! I then used layer 2, etc. to add drums and such, while my right hand operated the AniMoog's amazing touch pad and other controls. Enjoy these 3 jams! Which get more complex as the video goes on. Subscribe, comment, and send me your apps etc. for review!

  • Good job. A question: Are you using iOS 5 on the iPad? For some reason, Garageband outputs audio through my io Dock headphone output, but Animoog does not. I can't sort out where the problem lies. Animoog recognizes the dock as MIDI source, though. It looks like your output is working fine! I'm very envious at the moment. 

  • @threeBG Have NOT update to iOS5 yet? But probably will - am expecting to buy a iPhone 4S soon. I'm sure they will solve any incompatibilities soon>

  • Sweet Vid as always, I never thought of using an external sequencer like you have. I'll have to hook this up to my DAW.

  • @thebaggytrouseredone Thanks! What's even weirder is that you can use another App on the SAME DEVICE to sequence it also - such as the Genome sequencer which I will soon cover ;-)

  • Happy Halloween LOL this video was a trick....You usually have an into so I am sitting there with my volume on my mixer going...where is the sound?!?!?! BAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSBOOOOM!

  • @LatigidGolana On some of these "Ambient" numbers, I don't want to spoil the nice mood by being a "chatterbox" or something :-D and just put the instructions in the text

see all

  • @VJ FranzK do you think it is necessary to get an iPad 3 for music making or will the iPad 2 be adequate for a long time? Please reply

  • Hello. Very nice video. I have a question though. Is the io dock enough to play ipad apps live with a midi control device? Do you output the sound from the io dock's outputs?

  • awesome work fella

  • Terrible ce son !! beau travail !

    j'ai crée un compte youtube pour la commenter par ce que cette ambiance est juste hypnotisante man !! congratulations !!

  • That phased part that comes in around 2:17 is *really* nice sounding.

  • @VJFranzK I can't get Genome to sequence Animoog, how do you get it to work?

  • Like. I empathise with your dislike for the standard keyboard interface. You would think that manufacturers would be providing more possibilities other than the standard western approaches to interfacing. Toshio Iwai has created something wonderful with the Tenori On as have moog with animoog.
