NEXT: djay for iPad
Compatibility: iPad (requires iOS 4.2 or later)
Algoriddim djay, £11.99
Already available on the Mac, djay can now be enjoyed by iPad users, too. Designed, obviously enough, for DJing, it can access your iTunes library, auto-syncs tracks (if you want it to) and supports pre-cueing from headphones via a stereo/mono split adapter cable.
Compatibility: iPad (requires iOS 4.2 or later)
Eyoside Software eyoControl, £3.99
This new MIDI controller app gives you three interfaces to work with. Surface looks like a mixer, Pad is for playing percussive instruments, and Keys is a virtual keyboard. It connects to your Mac (there doesn’t seem to be any Windows support at the moment) via the free eyoControl Server, which then links to your DAW.
Compatibility: iPhone, iPod touch and iPad (requires iOS 3.1.3 or later)
Sir Sampleton, £1.79
Inspired by Casio and Yamaha’s sampling keyboards from the ‘80s, this app lets you record sounds through your iOS device’s built-in mic and then play them back on the dual keyboards. You can tweak your samples and play along to rhythms via the random beat generator.
