Rockmate for iPad
Published December 18, 2011 |
Rockmate is a unique audio scratchpad that allows several people to play the app’s on board instruments at the same time. This means I can play the keys, you can hop on the drums and Freddy can play some rhythm guitar for us all at once. Try wrapping your head around an iPad rock band that only uses 1 iPad…

Published December 15, 2011 |
NanoStudio became known for its success on the iPhone as being one of the best music making apps in 2010, but the iPad makes even better use of this software because of a bigger screen. There are a lot of reasons why this feature-laden program is a special one. First and foremost, the depth of NanoStudio, makes it one of the most complete iOS production app’s available.
Studio Mini XL for iPad
Published December 12, 2011 |
Studio Mini XL is an 8 track recording studio for your iPad. It is the bigger brother of Studio Mini, which is virtually the same other than being a 4 track recorder with a slightly cheaper price tag. The XL version comes with a host of useful features like a ‘count in’ function for recording, the ability to import and export 16 bit / 44.1 kHz WAVE files, a drum loop section with 70+ drum loops spanning a wide range of musical genres, the ability to monitor your input levels while recording, latency compensation, audio sync, iTunes file sharing, WIFI sync and more. The app’s Notes section also allows you to input, organize, and keep track of lyric ideas, which is great when you get that sudden inspiration for an awesome idea.
Pro Keys for iPad
Published December 10, 2011 |
Pro Keys is a multi instrument and recording tool for singers, songwriters, and musicians. With the ability to record vocals this app is somewhat of a simple DAW. The majority of the sounds revolve around different key instruments (piano, Rhodes, B3, etc.). You’ll get a dual keyboard interface for playing and each keyboard can have a separate sound allowing you to play two different instruments at one time. It’s also worth mentioning that the app responds to touch very well.

Published December 8, 2011 |
Reactable Mobile is a music creation app based off of its hardware predecessor, Reactable, which costs thousands of dollars. Fortunately for iPad users the iOS version rings in at $9.99. The problem is that, while the hardware version is an amazing performance and creation tool, the app is simply unimpressive. A cluttered interface and catalog of sub par samples make this unique approach to sound design a hot mess – to say the least.

Published December 6, 2011 |
Korg continues to set the bar high for their iOS apps and with that standard comes a new version of their most popular app to date – the iKaossilator, which is now available for the iPad. The iKaossilator is a virtual instrument that makes intuitive use of an X/Y pad to create sound by tapping and sliding your fingers across it. It’s simple enough that someone with little, if any, musical talent could have fun playing with, but well rounded enough to be used as more than just a toy.
