Now that you have OMB on IOS it brings so much joy to my heart! I was so bummed when my old PC kicked the can sort of speak which meant I no longer could use OMB so I jumped in the IOS wagon and never looked back. Thank you so much for continuing your awesome legacy of producing top notch software! Hi Jos and thank you so much for coming over to IOS! I own the original OMB software you created for Windows and it’s been so long since I wished for your software to be ported to IOS!

To play the other styles in full you need One Man Band Live, also available in the App Store.įinally Jos Maas in IOS the inventor of the Original One Man Band!!!! After the pause you can restart the accompaniment by playing a chord. In the Lite version you can play the 10 included styles, other styles will be paused 15 seconds after 60 seconds of playing. When you copy a zip-file with styles to OMB (download, email, icloud), the styles will be placed in a new style folder with the same name as the zip-file. There are thousands of these styles available on the internet. One Man Band utilises standard style files, compatible with the styles used in Yamaha PSR, DGX and Tyros arranger keyboards. One Man Band Lite comes with 10 styles that you can play without restrictions.

Create your own voices with harmonies and instrument layering. You can assign a function, voice, preset, chord or note to each of the buttons (except for the button top left) and create submenus with again 56 buttons each. The panel with 56 buttons is customisable. Select the soundfont player at Settings/Ports/MidiOut and use the virtual keyboard to play chords and melody.
