iPad users, meanwhile, have a new synth and an updated looping app to consider. Read on to find out more.

Never Be Normal 76 Synthesizer, £1.49

Never Be Normal 76 Synthesizer, £1.49

A monophonic synth that takes inspiration from the synths of the ‘70s, 76 Synthesizer offers three oscillators, a filter, ADSR, effects and more. Its interface looks suitably retro, though the pitchbend and modulation touchpads give it a contemporary edge.

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.
