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.

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.

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.
