The panel with 56 buttons is customisable. 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. Select the soundfont player at Settings/Ports/MidiOut and use the virtual keyboard to play chords and melody. When you don't have a keyboard instrument (yet) or can't make the connection at the moment, then there are options to use the iPad/iPhone/iPod as an accompaniment instrument on its own. Press Record and set the switch on to record MIDI files. Switch to different accompaniment styles and melody voices with the buttons on top. Select different style variations (Main, Fill, Intro, Ending) while you play. You can play the melody on the right side of the keyboard, it will have harmonies and instrument layers depending on the chosen voice.

When you play a chord on the leftside of your keyboard instrument, the accompaniment will start to play. Now select the red Presets button and choose one of the style/voice combinations. Choose the MIDI In and MIDI Out port to your keyboard and press Done.

Then start One Man Band and select the Settings button. Or use your iOS device on its own as a realtime arranger and be creative while travelingĬonnect your iPad, iPhone or iPod to your keyboard instrument with the camera connection kit and an USB AB cable or a MIDI interface cable (depending on what your keyboard uses for MIDI). Change your digital piano or synthesizer into an arranger keyboard with realtime auto-accompaniment.
