In a week when Native Instruments entered the iOS market with the announcement of iMaschine we have news of an update from another venerable music software developer. There’s a sampler, a synth and an audio recorder, too.

Also make sure you check out these regularly updated features:

BeepStreet SunrizerXS, £1.99

Sunrizer is one of the best synths on the iPad, so iPhone/iPod touch owners should be delighted to hear that a version for smaller iOS handsets is now available, too. Highlights include a SuperSaw sound emulation, two independent filters per voice, parameter morphing and CoreMIDI and MIDI learn support.

Propellerhead Software ReBirth 1.2, £4.99

Propellerhead Software ReBirth 1.2, £4.99

On the surface, not much has changed in this updated version of Propellerhead’s techno classic, but look closely and you’ll see that it now offers support for Korg’s WIST. This means that you can now sync two iOS devices running WIST-compatible apps together, increasing the potential for live performance fun.

Yudo Inc Rectools Unlimited, £27.99

Yudo Inc Rectools Unlimited, £27.99

A recording app that enables you to work with a practically unlimited number of tracks (500+, according to the developer). There’s wave editing, EQ, a mixer, and an audio pool for managing the clips in your project. If you can’t stomach the high price, you can pay half and get an 8-track version.

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.
