best smartphone music apps

Alright dudes, share Your experienced opinions on iPhone, please.

I need a new phone after my latest Nokia died (promptly in two years as the warranty goes) I'm considering the iPhone 4 or 4S as my next phone because of, well, Animoog. I spent normally an hour - hour and half a day in train and I want to listen to music and make some music/play/doodle with ideas on the phone.

I've heard it is a pretty good phone,and the battery life isn't bad either. And Moog Filtertron and Animoog are available for the iPhone. What else should I know?

Oh, yeah I know iTunes sucks already. Anything new?

I use Multitrack (recording), Nota (learning),and nLog Audio Synths (the craic) for different things.

Multitrack is beautifully functional, and if you can get a Blue Mikey or some kind of way to use an external mic, it's amazing for lots of reasons.

My advice is don't go mad. I bought lots and lots of music apps and those are the only ones I use EVER. Lots of useless stuff that's very tempting to buy and easy to overspend on because you're buying things on your phone. It took me a while to traslate those purchases into real money territory, and I'm sure that Apple make vast sums from folks of the same mind.

Having said that, the animoog thing though is definitely something I'm considering updating my cc information for though.

Also, yeah, the iPhone is great. It wasn't the best once, but it's certainly amazing now.

NanoStudio is crazy deep, and has some great synth sounds to boot.

Fluxama Noisemusick is great for simulating circuit-bent oscillation madness. There are only four "modules" to the current version, but they're planning on releasing more soon.

Molten is pretty good as a rhythm sequencer, as is Rhythm Studio by Pulse code.

Figure is awesome for making electro jams really quickly.

Otomata is fantastic for creating "autonomous" pieces.

Thicket has some cool settings for glitchy craziness, but you have to purchase each sound set separately.

The bjork bio app is rad and usefull as well as both moog apps,reactable,nano synth,FUNK BOX is the shit. I have 20 plus music apps on my ipod touch and use them all.

bloom, trope, droneo, are dope generative/drone apps
megacurtis is a crazy grain synthesis kinda thing
loopy is a cool looper
for beats i really dig nanostudio,ikaossilator,figure,funkbox,nanoloop

I like

Bloom, Orphion, CP1919 and Donut are pretty rad. That and Animoog are the ones I use mostly. Sometimes I kill time with the Pulse Code Rhythm Studio. The app I downloaded and that hasn't gotten much use is Mugician, that one doesn't sound good to me but a buddy made it work on my iPad. So .

I have been careful about not overspending and checked a lot of youtube videos before buying mostly. I like Bloom through my Moog Ring Mod, some delay and the Randys Revenge. Somehow makes it mine a little more.

it isn't that hard really, Nokia probably bought out Siemens because they wanted their products to die like the Siemens products died: one week after the warranty was void.

ANIMOOG IS SO FUCKING GOOD.

HNNNNNNNGGGGGGG-j am using it on an iPad which just blows me AWAY.

[themanwhowasthursday]

yeh the Brian Eno one, bloom, trope and i foget the other one are really nice, the g/f uses bloom to help her sleep. I use Cleartune instead of tuner as it can be easily passed round the band to the cello and brass ections to make sure we are kinda in tune

Bebot is a fun and surprisingly deep synth.

Bebot is a fun and surprisingly deep synth.

[Rygot]

I use Animoog and Organ+ regularly.

Korg IMS-20 is cool.

Bebot is cool.

[jrmy]
