Roland TR707 drums as an App (iOS)

it had to happen – the Roland TR707  as an app – oh, guys – I used this thing for quite a time to sync up MIDI and other stuff like the  Roland TR808 , and now there’s this – remember Frontline Assembly, Skinny Puppy (Mind TPI, also used the Roland TR727 on that album), Klinik and others – especially with Detroit Techno – there’s a lot of track out made of these sounds – but slightly pricey for an app – 3,99€. but well – I told you – you decide. App Store – mobileRhythm mR-7070 vintage drum machine…

Circuit Synth — tiny modular synthesizer for iPhone and iPod touch

Circuit Synth — tiny modular synthesizer for iPhone and iPod touch. very simple modular synth, iPhone only, but a nice idea.. Design your own instrument by wiring up simple modules. Included are three kinds of oscillators (sine wave, square wave, and sawtooth wave), a noise generator, and modules for combining and modifying signals. Dabble in techniques like additive synthesis and frequency modulation just by choosing different arrangements and wirings. that video has been removed by the developer himself, so .. don’t know how it feels like, yet. other modular concepts…

Akai MPC Fly – iPad MPC – adds Pads (not just hammering on the multitouch glas screen)

MPC add-on for iPads. I really wondered how to really play pads on the iPad, this solutions seems cool and suitable, and adds sort of mini MPC via the App. don’t know how close to what? MPC500? even the MPC1000?.. Release Summer, the app will be ready before – but it’s $299 – compared a bit pricey, looks like this is more a MPC500 or MPC2000…

Auria iPad 48-Track Recording DAW with VST support : at NAMM 2012

hmm, really wondering how they could make the iPad do 48 audio tracks and very close to DAW-editing like this – and those EQ and compressor look really cool, don’t know if they sound as good as I’d expect.
