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.

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.

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.

Deputy Editor

I’m the Deputy Editor of MusicRadar, having worked on the site since its launch in 2007. I previously spent eight years working on our sister magazine, Computer Music. I’ve been playing the piano, gigging in bands and failing to finish tracks at home for more than 30 years, 24 of which I’ve also spent writing about music and the ever-changing technology used to make it.
