Super. I’m amazed you don’t have a huge following. Every episode is so melodic and well made and performed.

Nice stuff.

Thank you

Great groove! I noticed in newer videos that you are using the Launchpad device with Loopy Pro, which hardware/software combo do you like better and why?

[@coffebeats]

I love Korg Gadget and nanoKEY studio for creating whole song concepts. It is great setup too for preparing loops for fingerdrumming with Koala/Loopy and Launchpad. Those samplers and Launchpad I like the most for live beatmaking. Those are my the best setups after testing lot of gear and software.

[@johnnyh64]

@@coffebeats Thank you for the timely reply! I guess that makes sense considering their targeted markets. I guess I would be bothered by the lack of quantization of the beat even for live use. I know loopy has a segmentation tool that can be set to 1/16th notes on the grid after inputting a sample. The sample gets broken up into 1/16th notes from the input source. So you can play the broken down samples at their transients for a certain length in time quantized. I did it once before but it’s hard to explain. Hope I’m making sense. That might be a good work around for Loopy Pro. Anyway, love your stuff and thanks again for the response!

Gadget is one of my favorites 👽

[@coffebeats]

Mine too ;)

[@christoroppolo8742]

@@coffebeats I keep encouraging Korg to go all in and give it inter app super abilities so it can host apps / synths on the iPad as well as open itself in other daws which it now does with Logic / garage band as a plugin too. I’m burnt out on third party audio unit stuff . It’s suffocating the iPads and has prevented Logic Pro from coming to iOS I believe as well. 👽

[@killstarpopper]

nice solo you got there!

[@coffebeats]

Yes, it was surprisingly successful ;)

[@killstarpopper]

@@coffebeats Lol I wish I could play like that.. minor pentatonic is all I can do 😭

[@rahulkarnataki]

Superb!

[@coffebeats]

Thank you

[@francescomanfredi]

Great session indeed!

[@coffebeats]

Thanks

[@TillekArcade]

I‘m loving it. Maybe it could be easier to press analog knobs rather than the touchscreen. Did you consider to take a nanoKey Studio for doing this? Greetings from Germany !!

[@coffebeats]

Yes indeed! I am planning to buy nanoKONTROL Studio for switching between instruments. Unless you know how to do it with nanoKEY. Greetings from Poland!

[@TillekArcade]

@@coffebeats A cheap(er) solution : nanoKontrol2. Plus ( eventually - depends on your budget) Yamaha UD-BT01 Bluetooth module powered by a powerbank. Same Mapping with Korg Gadget . Sadly not possible with NanoKey Studio…

[@vegaf2011]

So between this device and the m-wave which would be an overall pick

[@coffebeats]

They are looks similar. NanoKey has 8 programmable scenes but m-wave has more realistic keyboard. I like Korg. Not used m-wave

[@vegaf2011]

@@coffebeats damn :/ i just purchase the M-wave and kinda a bit bumming my decision now it comes with its issues I guess setting it up is what’s bothering me. I figured you just connect and play lol

[@luproph]

Nice work. How is the setup? Are you using an external audio interface?

[@coffebeats]

No. I am using only headphones and iPad screen recording. nanoKEY is via Bluetooth

[@elisegrey572]

I love your beats! What daw do you use in this ocation?

[@coffebeats]

Thank You. This was done In Korg Gadget
