Stochastik Drum Machine, £2.99

Stochastik Drum Machine, £2.99

Yes, it’s another iPad drum machine - one that comes with more than 1000 sounds and a step sequencer - but this one sets itself apart by enabling you to set the probability of each step being triggered. This way, you can be sure of creating interesting, non-static beats (that’s the theory, anyway).

An update for this iPad drumpad controller, and one that brings the ability to share presets with other users, bouncing for touch pads and sliders, Virtual MDI support (so that you can use it to trigger other iOS apps) and resizable pads. Various other tweaks have been made, too.

EarSlap Circuli, £0.69

EarSlap Circuli, £0.69

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.
