ShareIn this video I’m showcasing an experimental live beat making setup using 2 iPads simultaneously to create a West Coast inspired Boom Bap beat using Korg Gadget 2.
Gear used in this performance:

Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 Mk1 – This serves as my main audio interface connected to the iPad Pro.
Roland A49 MIDI Controller – This is the main keyboard used to play all of the melodic parts.
Critter and Guitari Organelle – This multi functional device is used to generate the plucked string/koto sound which serves as the main melody. In this setup, its is connected via MIDI to the iPad Mini 4.
