Happy anniversary Yonac! 13 years ago they announced their very first synthesizer for the iPhone called Mini Synth. I’ve been a supporting fan since then and I’ve published and shared their news over the years so I’m very excited about this anniversary as we have lost some great apps and developers over the years. Not only that I’ve used their apps in my professional video game scores so as you can tell I have a very deep connection with their apps. All their apps are currently on sale for .99 cents and bundles are 75% off.
I really love Tonestack in fact I used Tonestack on my guitars when I scored the soundtrack for the Zombieland 2 Double Tap Road Trip video game. This video game is available for Switch, PS4, Xbox, and Steam. You can hear some of my music from that in this walkthrough
I also really love their guitar synth Roxsyn. You can hear some of my favorite presets here:
But honestly all of their apps are really great and their synths are super powerful so go on and check them out in the appstore and grab some deals!
Here’s a quick session with the Flip sampler app by Andrew Huang , just sampling some gear and arranging a beat. There’s no talking in this one folks.
Skip to the beat sequencing at 3:30 mins
Flip was designed for a fast and intuitive workflow. As soon as you record a sound it’s available to be played on drum pads as well as being mapped across a keyboard. Sounds can be subtly shaped or entirely transformed using the built-in effects and easy-to-use editing tools.
You can record a quantized or unquantized performance on the pads or keyboard. There is also a full piano roll where you can enter and edit notes and velocities.
Record knob movements or draw automation by hand to bring even more life to your sounds. Every automation lane can also have its own independent length, for polymetric and generative music possibilities.
Create up to 16 different sections for your song and drag and drop them into any order to create your arrangement.
Mixing and mastering tools allow you to finish a full track without ever leaving your phone. You can export your full track, or hit the tape icon and record the live output of the app while you tweak anything on the fly. Both options allow you to capture individual track stems as well!
A performance page lets you trigger your patterns live while controlling a global filter, assignable pitch bends and reverb sends, and a random fill generator.
Artist packs are available in-app at $3.99 or less, which include original sounds and projects from Andrew Huang, Bad Snacks, Rachel K Collier, Cuckoo, Chuck Sutton, Pusher, and more on the way all the time.

iPad Loops is an iOS music production blog dedicated to exposing the best iPad apps musicians, producers, and Djs. This is not a database of every app. It is, however, one of useful recommendations from someone with many years in music production. I try to update it on a daily basis (ok sometimes every two days) and I do my best to post useful apps only. My name is Jason Donnelly (Dj Puzzle).
Some of the apps that contain my sounds are Synth One, EG Segments, Hammerhead, Retronyms AudioCopy, Audio Evolution Mobile, and iMPC Pro. My work is published by Roland, Antares, Magix, Soundtrack Loops, Sample Logic, Acoustica, Native Instruments, The Grammt Museum and many more.
