This blew my mind. I don’t own an iPhone but I may have to step out and get one as soon as I finish posting this. There are iPhone operated music sequencers that are available! This one is called the “Beatmaker” by Intua and includes a slew of features:
- 6 triggerable pads with polyphonic control
- Automatic sample slicing on multiple pads
- Edit pads individually
- Duration and tonal controls
- Reverse
- Gain
- Output selection (Dry, FX Bus1, FX Bus 2)
- Graphical sample bounds editor
- Instant muting
- Sample accurate Sequencer
- Pattern step sequencer
- Step velocity editor per pattern
- Song pattern sequencer
- On the fly live editing
- 2 FX Busses, each rack containing
- 3 Band EQ
- Synchronized Delay
- Bit Crusher
Another product is called the “Band” by Moo Cow. The video says it all…
And last but not least, an iPhone synth called “iStylophone” by TVCSC. It costs $5.95 and gives you a little pocket organ to rock out to. What I would consider to be the modern day harmonica. So what to get your favorite hip-hop head for his bday/xmas? I think the answer is clear…
Thanks to cratekings for the heads up…If you are a producer, or love the act of making music, you should def peep their site!
