Quality content, intuitive control and 3-D navigation for effortless page browsing make this app a must-have for party-goers, music aficionados and pretty much everyone in between. LoopMash for iPhone and iPod touch brings the future of music technology to your fingertips.
Since its debut in Cubase (the most popular music production system the world over) many users have requested that Steinberg adapt this hot instrument to the iOS platform. Well, here it is: LoopMash, the app to mash up loops of different music styles like a pro.
I could not find an iPad demo video for this app so here is the PC version BUT it is basically the same program so expect the same tool and performance.
Key features:
– More than 250 addictive audio loops included
– Over 40 presets to get you started right away
– Intuitive 3-D swipe-page navigation
– Load and play with up to 4 loops per scene
– 8 scenes available per preset
– 4 studio-grade effects for more sound control
Languages supported:
English, German, Italian, French, Spanish and Japanese
Minimum system requirements:
Hardware: iPhone 3GS & 4 or iPod touch 3rd & 4th generation or iPad (compatibility mode w/ scaled graphics)
Operating system: iOS4
In this demonstration you will see Stefan showing us how to control Steinberg Halion Sonic with an iPad and MidiPads.
Welcome to MidiPads, the professional and fully configurable drumpad and Midi controller for Network MIDI and USB MIDI. MidiPads is one of the first iOS programs that don’t require any 3rd party software or proprietary hardware for MIDI connection! With Network MIDI, you can take your iPad on stage and trigger your music wirelessly.
Features:
★ Supports USB MIDI over iPad Camera Adapter
★ Supports network MIDI over WiFi
★ All elements customizable (color, label, Midi channel, CC/key, range…)
★ Bottom part fully customizable with resizable touch pads and sliders
★ Four pages with 16 touch sensitive drum pads each
★ Several modes to influence velocity: Two-finger-tap, vertical pad position, rand ndom velocity, and min and max velocity always definable
★ Touch pads and sliders support snapping and fading
★ Use drum pads as tap or toggle buttons, either in key or CC mode
★ Drum pads can act as X/Y controller and pad at the same time (trigger your effect and change it with just one finger!)
★ Sliders can act as VU meter and slider at the same time
★ Sliders can act as pitch bender (see manual how to do that)
★ Drum pads can show incoming values (e.g. that a sample is on that pad)
★ Gravity controller (use iPad’s rotation axis as controller)
★ Easy Midi learn for each controller, as a learn CC value is sent on CC selection
★ Lock mode hides all elements that would hinder your performance
★ Supports all 16 midi channels (for each element separately!)
★ Drum pads can blink on incoming midi sync and hence support you with the beat
★ Extensive help covering connection, editing the user interface and troubleshooting (tap i-symbol)
Requirements:
★ iPad with iOS 4.2 installed (iOS 4.2 required for MIDI functionality)
★ A Mac or a PC for Network MIDI -or-
★ Any MIDI device with MIDI in (in case you use USB)
BIGGER and BETTER than ever before! The ORIGINAL iPhone synthesizer now upgraded for the iPad.
Whether you are a seasoned pro or a newbie, miniSynth PRO will make the rich tones of analog synthesis come alive on your fingertips.
miniSynth PRO is a fully-featured, professional-grade virtual analogue synthesizer. It can work as a polyphonic or a monophonic synthesizer at the flip of a switch. It incorporates an improved version of the time proven zero latency “push-pull” Yonac keyboard algorithm that powers our existing synthesizers, and features a highly customized version of our original analogue-clone “Vincent” tone shaping filter. More importantly, it marks the debut of our brand new cutting-edge YASSE (pronounced “Yah-See”) modular sound sequencing and synthesis engine, developed in our labs over the last three years.
As a step up on its predecessors, miniSynth PRO is designed as an FM / Subtractive hybrid synth. Among other innovations, it features our special dynamic waveform selection algorithm, individually parameterized voice processing, and carefully selected waveforms driving its dual interactive oscillators and its five-destination LFO.
miniSynth PRO offers many other features to render music making easier. They include a dedicated arpeggiator module, dual individually adjustable keyboards, user control matrix with configurable assignments, and 82 presets designed by actual musicians. Did we also mention that users are able to record their own performances, as well as save and recall any number of their own presets in our brand-new patch design format?

The music happens before your eyes. A plex consists of a network of nodes. Each node has a tone associated with it. When a pulse hits a node, nodes create pulses. The resulting chain reaction creates a noteplex song.
* Multisampled instruments and synths: Three complete drumkits — a Rhodes-like piano — multiple bass sounds — lead synths — strings — and more! Add your own samples to create an even more unique noteplex.
* Online sharing of plexes: Share your best work online and explore what other noteplexers are creating. Favorite your faves and see what’s getting attention.
* A natural interface: Zoom, drag, draw, edit. The editing panels can even be minimized so you can enjoy the display your creations make. noteplex lets you focus on creating.
Everything from drum loops to “Happy Birthday” to extended compositions can be created with noteplex. This radically different paradigm for music will push you to new and unexpected places creatively — and it’s fun, too!
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.
