Jordan Rudess has been a busy man: not content with releasing a new single with his band Dream Theater, he’s also found time to put out SampleWiz for iOS. This week’s round-up also features a 909 emulation, a free matrix synth, and a forthcoming drum groove app from Zildjian.

Also make sure you check out these regularly updated features:

Jordan Rudess's second iOS music making app is a sampler that operates in classic, granular and modern modes. There are all sorts of editing, looping and performance options, and FX, too. In short, it looks like it could be the most powerful and flexible iOS sampler yet seen.

Quite simply, an emulation of Roland’s TR-909 for the iPad. It’s designed to look and operate like the original iconic drum machine, and features include a 16-step drum sequencer, 10 user-defined presets, nine drum instruments, eight drum patterns and an effects rack. More functionality is planned, too.

We mentioned last week that matrix-style synths for the iPad aren't uncommon, and this new freebie provides further evidence of that. You've got a 16-step sequencer, four pattern 'sheets', a lead synth preset and drum sounds on the bottom three rows of the grid.

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.
