Hi folks, I downloaded the Thor app for iPad:

It's supposedly very good for wind instruments. I like the EwiReasonSounds patches Erik recommends in the DM48 manual. I've tweaked a few and saved them, and want to use them live. The iPad would be great for that, and general portability. 

Apparently I can import them from Reason to the Thor app and use them in the iPad. However I use a PC and don't know how to get stuff from it to the iPad. I tried emailing them and opening the attachments but no luck. Any help appreciated!

I've used Bernzilla's Thor patches on my iPad.  (Using an EWI, I just got my DM48)  http://www.berniekenerson.com/sound_design/

To load into your iPad use iTunes file sharing.

1) On your computer launch iTunes and connect iPad.

2) Add the presets to Thor on iPad.

3) Look for the new presets in your 'Inbox' in Thor.

Patchman's Thor patches are also fun:  http://www.patchmanmusic.com/all_propellerhead_banks.html

I just loaded Patchman's and Bernzilla's patches into Thor for iPad.

Neither set worked well until I returned the Response Curve to Linear from the curved shape 3/4 I have been using for the EwiReasonSound patches.

Both sets are good, with Bernzilla offering some very wild and fun sounds. I miss that shaped response curve a bit, still getting used to shaping the dynamics via the Sensitivity menu. But it's great to have a big set of usable patches on the iPad or iPhone - so much more convenient than being tethered to a computer.

It gives me the confidence to take the DM48 out on a gig for the first time :-)

Cool. As Bernie says on his web page, you can examine his patches to learn how to 'breath-enable' any Thor patch. (I've yet to do this)

Playing with NI Massive today.
