A relatively short, sharp, shot of new apps this week, but there’s still plenty to enjoy. Synth builders and tweakers can focus on a new modular environment and an instrument that you can control with three touch points, while there’s an update for SoundPrism, too.

Also make sure you check out these regularly updated features:

This performance synth gives you three touch points that enable you to control the distribution of up to 16 harmonics. In doing this you can create a wide range of sounds and effects: a cat’s meow, a vocodered scream and an out-of-control robot are all cited as possibilities.

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.
