Looptastic HD from Soundtrends

We are rather excited about this one. You’ve no doubt seen Looptastic for the iPhone so it’s no surprise that Soundtrends have launched the fatter, more powerful version for the iPad entitled Looptastic HD. As soon as we get our hands on this cool looking app we’ll post a full review but having watched the promo video it looks like the time-stretch tool is very impressive and the whole app seems geared more towards performance and jamming. The super cool ‘Glitchy Repeater’ effect rivals even Ableton Live.

Check out the video, let us know your thoughts.

Looptastic HD is available right now at the App Store and costs just under $20.

StudioTrack app for Apple iPad by Sonoma Wire Works

Fourtrack for the iPhone was a pretty tasty app from Sonoma Wire Works but StudioTrack for iPad looks even more delicious. This is the app that we’ve been waiting for.

Here at iPad Music Apps we are not ashamed to admit that our recording experience began in the 1970’s with tape machines. In the eighties the luxury of 4 track portastudios were the astoundingfor  any bedroom producer and even then you’d be looking at double the cost of what your iPad cost today.

To see a powerful, ultra portable 8 track studio on a touch screen device that can also do your accounts is a dream come true for us.

Watch the vids, give your opinions, submit your own news items.

At $39.99 it’s not cheap, but then those stunning graphics are almost worth every penny.

KORG iELECTRIBE for iPad

For $9.99 you can grab Korg’s iELECTRIBE for iPad.

What is it?

Well, remember the Korg Electribe hardware unit from about a ten years ago? You guessed it the iELECTRIBE is the software version for the iPad. Here is the blurb from Korg “For over a decade, Korg’s Electribe has been go-to gear for creative musicians from around the world and across multiple electronic and dance music genres. Now, you can take the power of the Electribe with you thanks to iElectribe, Korg’s first dedicated app; bringing the fun of analog-synth style beat making to your iPad. Best of all, the iElectribe takes full advantage of iPad’s 9.7 inch multi touch display to deliver a new style of musical instrument.”

We love the concept and the videos too but the sounds we are hearing do actually sound a decade old. Hopefully Korg will release updates with new presets to usher this cool piece of kit into the new age of electronic music production.

As usual, let us know your thoughts on this cool app.

Control Logic Studio from YOUR iPad with AC-7 Pro

Saitara Software have released an app that turns your iPad into a control surface for Logic Studio. From the video footage it doesn’t look as though the touch screen performs that well with the virtual faders but we love the concept.  This is an ideal solution for musicians that need to control Logic from 20 feet away whilst sat behind a drum kit or a complex studio arrangement.

If you’ve tried this in a practical situation please post your views and experiences. Grab it now from the App store.
