Issue 291 of Future Music is on sale now

Possibly more so than any other area of music technology, iOS music making is moving forward at an alarmingly fast pace. Even since FM last tackled the subject back in 2013, things have come on in leaps and bounds, both in terms of the power of the hardware and the quality of apps available.

While, undoubtedly, there was a time when the idea of making music using an iPhone or iPad was little more than a novelty, those little devices are now capable of numerous studio applications - from creating sounds to sequencing synths, controlling your DAW and beyond. In this month's cover feature, we'll run through the ways you can incorporate an iOS device into your workflow, and show you all the apps and accessories you need to know about.
