    Quick note on Hexaphone:
    The idea of the instrument's design (keys that are next to each other sound good together) is so natural and makes creating something that sounds good pretty easy but the rest of the app doesn't feel as polished to me. Will keep it on my phone, but I hope for some major updates (First thing they should add is a way to create own drum loops! I hate being forced to use premade drum loops)

    Well I decided to buy Music Studio and I have to say, it's an amazing tool. And it even runs perfectly on my 1st generation iPod Touch. :eek:

    Perhaps I should have gotten Nanostudio . . . anybody want to do a comparison? Nanostudio's UI looks much more polished. The only voice (albeit versatile) for the keyboard in Nanostudio is the synth, right?

    Edit: Why didn't I notice Nanostudio earlier . . . looks like I'll wait for another sale. BTW Blip Interactive has Nanostudio for Mac OS X and PC available for free. It's the exact same as the iOS version.

    Yep they said they give it away for free on PC/Mav because PC/Mac misses multitouch and the app won't be able to compete with the REAL programmes that are available on PC/Mac. Still, this app is AMAZING!!! And you should try out the PC/Mac version.

    Is it possible to load multiple samples into Nanostudio and map it on the (Eden?)keyboard?

    Edit: Let´s say i got 3 piano samples (c2, c3, c4) and map those over the keyboard. Or are the pads the only way to load a multi-sample?

    You can use one sample per synth, and you have 4 synths. But you can't map samples on the keyboard as far as i know

    Thanks, well just got it and tried it for a few minutes. Really love it, Eden sounds amazing, and the UI is really fast/responsive/intuitive. Really a complete DAW on the iDevice. Hopefully a multi sampler unit with dedicated tracks is possible to implement down the road. Definitely 5 stars from me on this one.


    Edit: Soup Thanks.

    new video up on the developers site for FunkBox ($1.99)

    http://syntheticbits.com/funkbox.html

    I'd missed this completely, it lets you export your stuff too and its universal

    oh and ThumbJam has just had an update and should now play nice with iOS4

    Anyone having trouble with iShred / Guitar loading since their recent updates?

    2nd Gen iPod Touch, 32GB iOS4.0.1, not jailbroken.

    Both apps are running fine on my wife's 3GS with OS 3.1.3.

    I've emailed FDG support, but haven't heard back from them yet.

    some freebies

    BeatBox(BtBx) - sequencer
    DigitalBassLine(DB 303) - a db 303
    AFC - robot synth

    i wouldn't say any of these are must haves but for free have a look and make up your own mind

    FunkBox - what put me off was the "this is the last feature update until a bigger 2.0 release" - i asked the devs if that was going to be a new app or an update - no reply up til now
