Led by Moog Engineer Geert Bevin, this session will show different setups on iPad and iPhone using apps developed by Moog Music, for various scenarios. Including the use of DAWs, connecting to a computer, using standalone, pairing with a portable Bluetooth keyboard, using with an audio interface, and more. It will be a dive into the range of possibilities in iOS music making – from performing live to making a full production.

@AudioGus "On my commute, even walking and waiting for
the lights to change I am playing with stuff.
Anytime, anywhere. Even if I have fifteen minutes.
I now feel like I am constantly engaged which lowers my
creative anxiety a ton.
No more waiting for the weekend to ramp up my focus."
