OscilloScoop for iPad
Published January 17, 2012 | 
OscilloScoop is a unique beat making app for the iPad. It comes with 6 beat sets and the ability to save presets from your creations. The thing that makes OscilloScoop unique is its visual interface and sound engine. Three spinning crowns allow for the manipulation of tone/pitch, filter, and volume. As the crowns spin you can morph these effects by sliding your fingers vertically across them.

Published December 27, 2011 |
Ratatap Drums is a free beat making app for your iPad. It boasts 10 drum kits and lots of great sounds. I recommend upgrading to Ratatap Pro via in app purchase for $2, which will give you the ability to edit drum size, appearance, and location. You can also add reverb, and tuning to your drum sounds in the Pro version.

Published December 8, 2011 | 
Reactable Mobile is a music creation app based off of its hardware predecessor, Reactable, which costs thousands of dollars. Fortunately for iPad users the iOS version rings in at $9.99. The problem is that, while the hardware version is an amazing performance and creation tool, the app is simply unimpressive. A cluttered interface and catalog of sub par samples make this unique approach to sound design a hot mess – to say the least.

Published November 18, 2011 |
Introducing Tabletop, a music production and remixing app for disc jockeys and producers alike. Tabletop is a great production workstation because of it’s extensive number of tools (for iOS) and the ability to mix and route these devices within the app. Retronyms (the developer) call this program an audio playground and I think that description is dead on. You can choose from mixers, samplers, effects, sequencers, and expand your options even further with the purchase of app store additions.

Published October 11, 2011 | 
Garageband for the iPad is a fun, mobile, musical tool. It doesn’t have the in-depth capabilities of a major desktop DAW, but is still very effective and cool within its own realm.
It is perhaps the most fun and easiest to use. A person with little if any musical talent could still have fun creating music with Apple’s Garageband for iPad and make some decent tunes too.
