Crossfire Designs MidiPads, £2.99

Turn your iPad into a drum pad controller via network or USB MIDI. There are four pages, each of which contains 16 touch-sensitive and resizable pads, while sliders and an XY pad are also included. There’s “easy MIDI learn”, apparently, which will hopefully make assigning the controls a breeze.

Mode of expression Noteplex, £1.19

Noteplex promises to present the user with “a new and unique way to experience music”. It offers a hexagonal board of cells onto which you can place nodes, each of which has a specific sound associated with it (your own samples can be used too). Nodes then fire pulses that trigger other nodes, which then fire pulses of their own. Thus, a song is gradually built up.

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.
