Steve Jobs may have stepped down as Apple’s chief executive, but there are strong rumours that we’ll be seeing a new iPhone (and perhaps a more affordable model, too) very soon. In the meantime, iOS continues to be a haven for new music making tools, as you’re about to discover.

Also make sure you check out these regularly updated features:

The Strange Agency Donut, £6.99
Compatibility: iPad (requires iOS 4.3 or later)

The Strange Agency Donut, £6.99

This is quite a tricky one to explain - check out the The Strange Agency’s website for further details. Essentially, though, it’s a phrase looper that lets you record and stack up loops… but you can do all kinds of things to these loops to create interesting sounds. File under quirky but interesting.

Maz & Kilgore Drum Toy, £0.69
Compatibility: iPhone, iPod touch, iPad (requires iOS 3.1 or later)

Maz & Kilgore Drum Toy, £0.69

A rhythmic app that “thinks the way drummers do”. Beats are created by twisting dials and moving sliders - Drum Toy forces certain beats while leaving others to chance. It’s unconventional, certainly, but the developer believes that it can serve as a ‘funky practice metronome’
