NEXT: Continental Laboratories Instrumental
Compatibility: iPad (requires iOS 4.3 or later)
Continental Laboratories Instrumental, £14.99
Another iPad controller app, this one gives you drum pad, piano and Wicki-Hayden hexagonal keyboards, mixer, and generic control surface layouts to work with. It's also worth noting that Instrumental integrates tightly with Propellerhead's Reason and Record, automatically changing its surface and preset as you switch devices.
Compatibility: iPad (requires iOS 4.3 or later)
P.W. Worm & Co & Sons Artikulator, £2.99
The iPad is the perfect platform on which to explore the relationship between images and sound, as this app demonstrates. The idea is simple: use the multi-touch interface to draw with your finger and Artikulator's synth will turn your doodlings into sound. It's described as a musical toy, but could also provide some inspiration.
Compatibility: iPad (requires iOS 4.2 or later)
MixVibes U-Mix Remote, £6.99
If you’re an iPad-owning user of MixVibes’ Cross or Cross DJ software on PC or Mac, listen up: U-Mix Remote enables you to take touchscreen control of it. As well as letting you browse and sort your songs, it lets you control the software’s crossfader, volume and pitch sliders, apply effects, set locators and cue points and get hands on with the jog wheels.
