Utku Uzmen Voix Vocoder, £0.59

This 8-band vocoder enables you to "play your voice like a synth" - just speak into your iPad's mic while playing the onscreen keyboard. There's a ribbon controller for fine adjustment of pitch, an HF Emphasis button to aid speech intelligibility, and the option to play the instrument like a standard sawtooth synth.

Developers seem to be falling over themselves to create Ableton Live controller apps. This one lets you make mixer, channel strip and plug-in tweaks, while also giving you a clip launcher and transport control. It works via CoreMIDI and promises incredibly low latency.

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.
