You may already know Chris Wolfe from his excellent Jasuto synth. His second iOS effort is a bowed string simulator for iPad - all sounds are synthesized as opposed to sample based, you can play two strings at once, and bowing can be manual or automatic. If you’re looking for a recommendation, Jordan Rudess has already given it a five star review.

Another iPad DJing app, this one has an interface that delivers both CD-style pitch bend wheels and scratch-friendly vinyl-style turntables. Automatic beat detection and matching is in place, as are EQ controls and direct access to the iPod library.

This loop-based musical sketchpad has a circular interface that enables you to build up songs across six tracks. It contains real samples (acoustic guitar chords, for example) and allows you to construct multi-bar compositions and then to export them as a WAV or AIFF file. Other style-based apps are coming soon.

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.
