best smartphone music apps

I just downloaded Audio Palette. That might be very useful too.

Bebot is a fun and surprisingly deep synth.

surprisingly deep, yeah. Almost had myself fooled by the silly robot to consider it just a toy but... I almost got pretty damn good classical analog synth sounds out of it.

Animoog did't of course surprise me much but... it too has a LOT more to it, when You go past the presets and even they are pretty awesome.

im lovin SAMPL
not samplr
free basic sample pad
when you sync iphone/ipod
you use file sharing
and put what you want in there
you can change from orange buttons
to whatever image you want

Hello everyone, I need a new phone and I'm trying to decide between getting an iPhone 5 or one of the numerous Android phones on the market. While the Android phones may be better value is it still the case that there's much more interesting music/audio apps available for IoS?

[emz998]

The Drum Machine App on the iphone is seriously one of the best most intuitive I've ever used.

Def get multi track if your gonna record anything.
DM-1 is sweet, was pssied I paid for iMaschine after getting dm1
Animoog, really want a midi keyboard to use with that.
Orphion is fun
Samplr is fun for loops and glitchy stuff
Audiobus is a must, use apps simultaneously and running through together

SamplR needs midi and midi mapping and a tap tempo, then i LOVE it. right now it's kinda not useful for live stuff for me.

grabbed SampL on your Ryan-flavored recomendation, very cool. Loopy's another cool simple sampler thing.

DM-1 is fucking GREAT. i would like it if they had pages of sequences you could flick between. but it's goooood.

Animoog is my favorite synthy thing so far. YUMMY. Alchemy's pretty awesome for synnnnths too.

DM-1 is fucking GREAT. i would like it if they had pages of sequences you could flick between. but it's goooood.

Our tech-savvy keaboard player managed to sync his Mac running Ableton with my iPad's DM-1 today. I'm really looking forward to what can be done with that in the next rehearsal. Whooo!

anybody heard of/used tinder?

I got bebot yesterday and it sounds surprisingly cool but it's pretty hard for me to play it on my iPhone with my little sausage fingers.

Anyone got any suggestions for a cool synth sequencer app? (gotta be able to use it on my iPhone. My keyboard player has an iPad but this is for when he's not around!)

Also keeping in line with the thread my favorite music app that I've gotten is funkbox. That app rules! Filtatron and animoog are fun but they're mostly so smothered in effects that they're difficult to incorporate into music for me

[goroth]

Beginner's question: how do I get noises out of my iPhone and into my computer or my amp? Just downloaded bebot!

[Bassus Sanguinis]

Cable. :P har har

Connects to headset output, and from there to whatever You wish, do the Google for that. I'm too lazy - posting from the iPhone- to be more helpful, sorry. Have to get one myself, I still love the Bebot.

[Officer Bukowski]

I got a little adapter that goes from male 1/8" (plugs into the headphone out) to female 1/4"

Then I just plug it into me pedals with my normal guitar cable. You can get these things at RadioShack or something for about a dollar.

If you find one, a cable that has one 1/8" plug and one 1/4" would probably be preferable because then you wouldn't need to deal with the adapter at all.

[Officer Bukowski]

While we're on the subject, anyone know of a cheap way I could plug like an SM57 into my iPhone for recording demos?

[goroth]

Thanks bros!
