World's First EWI iPad Song
Until proven otherwise, I'm claiming the first song realized completely on the iPad with all leads performed using a wind controller. The name stems from the fact that all tracks were programmed and/or recorded in the NanoStudio app from Blip Interactive.
Technical details:
I did my usual practice of composing using Band-in-a-Box but then took the MIDI output, imported into NanoStudio, and started repurposing the "piano", "guitar", etc. tracks into what you now hear. The drum kit was mostly built using samples from SampleSwap.org that claim to originate from a Roland CR-78, although I also used some of the stock NS samples for the "bongo-esque" part in the beginning.
All the lead instruments (and one harmony part at the end) were done with the Eden synth, custom programmed to respond to breath control, and then recorded with the EWI. I experienced a number of frustations/limitations with this setup; you can read the details here if you're interested: jimhanksmusic.com/ipad.html#ewi_ns_midi

I like many styles of music but most of my own productions tend towards jazz with electronic elements. I play the Akai ... more EWI4000s electric wind instrument, recorders, harmonicas, and various software instruments including Propellerhead Reason on the PC and NanoStudio on the iPad. less
