OscilloScoop for iPad

 

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.

 

If you need to fine tune your song then shift your iPad into landscape orientation and the app turns into a traditional step sequencer allowing for more detailed editing.

 

I wouldn’t regard OscilloScoop as a serious music making app for professionals, there is just not enough to it.  If you plan on getting any longevity out of OscilloScoop you’ll need to purchase additional beat sets from the app store. However, for $.99, this is a cool app even the kids will enjoy.  Its simple to use and visually stimulating.
