Innovative “Visual” Audio Manipulation Software. Kinda limited though. Not really worth the $9.99 in my opinion. I hope they plan to update this app. The video seems to show it isolating Vocals and acapellas which I can see being useful for those who make mashups but you’ll have to record them into your DAW since this app does not allow you to save the effected audio.
– View the instruments or components of the music which imported from your iPod library (*) as color-coded clouds of energy and harmonic matter onscreen.
– You can lower the level, keep or move the panning position of the selected instrument on the screen. You can use R-Mix to easily create “minus-one” type play-along tracks. You can also isolate guitar sound, for example, and solo that phrases for study.
– “Motion Function” allows you to create unique filtering effects to tracks using the iPad’s tilt sensor.
*DRM applied tunes cannot be imported.
Note:
– Can’t save the resulting sound as data.
– May not work adequately on some songs, depending on the source material.
TB MIDI Stuff is a generic modular MIDI control surface for iPad. You can create your own pages, or use the built-in MIDI keyboard (with Arpeggiator, modulation wheel, pitch wheel and accelerometer velocity), the built-in Pads controller (with customizable pads banks, accelerometer velocity, transposition, full velocity mode and repeat mode) or the 16 channels MIDI mixer (pan, volume and mute).

Minor fixes and improvements
The built-in page editor lets you create your own pages. It contains some useful stuffs like pasteboard, undo manager, multi selection or z-order managment. The built-in keyboard, the pads controller and all drum pads in your custom pages can use Accelerometer Velocity for notes On messages. All pads (including drum pads) can fire multiple notes to create “one hit” configurations (each note can use or not the accelerometer velocity). You also can create any pads banks you need for the pads controller. All pages and pads banks can be shared via iTunes with a desktop computer.
TB MIDI Stuff use CoreMidi : you can use any supported device, like the native WiFi driver or the camera connection kit with an external sound card. Each page can use a different CoreMidi driver. Also works with Virtual MIDI Ports applications capable.
Controls can use the iPad accelerometer as input (even faders and knobs), in each dimension (X, Y, Z or, for XY Pads, a mix of them).
The application library contains :
– Rotary sliders
– Horizontal sliders
– Vertical sliders
– Horizontal faders (with different colors)
– Vertical faders (with different colors)
– Mixer knobs (with different colors and flavors)
– Drum Pads
– XY Pads
– Value displayers
– Rounded rects
– Labels
– Fix crash when you try to load pages on iOS 4.3
– Fix virtual MIDI port naming
– Add 4 virtual MIDI Out ports
Each control can drive simultaneously multiple MIDI messages like Control Change messages (single 7bits and coarse/fine 14bits), RNP/NRPN messages (7 and 14bits), Pitch Bend messages, Program Changes messages, Note On/Off messages.
You can open up to 32 pages simultaneously. You can change pages with three fingers swipe gesture, manage the pages order, open multiple instances of the same page and change the MIDI Out driver or the MIDI Out channel (or both) without entering the editor for each instance.
Swipe shortcuts (1, 2 and 3 fingers) let you access quickly to the MIDI keyboard, the pads controller or the 16 channels mixer.
TB MIDI Stuff contains some demo pages and 7 pads banks. For the pads banks :
– Default Bank
– Drum Kit (GM)
– Fifth
– Major Chords
– Minor Chords
– Simple Chord Generator
– Velocity

Major stadium-touring acts use Lemur on stage. The original hardware version was introduced to the public in 2004 and Lemur software now benefits from nearly 10 years of development. These are just two of the reasons Lemur is the name cited when talking about multitouch control.
Control anything
Lemur is a professional iOS controller app that doesn’t cut any corners. It lets you control anything, any way you want. Total flexibility means it can go as deep as you need it to. Lemur can control DJ software, live electronic music performance software, studio production software (DAWs), VJ software, visual synthesis software, stage lighting and more. In fact, any software or hardware that can be controlled by MIDI/OSC can be controlled by Lemur.
A controller unequalled
Lemur has often been imitated but never equalled. The physics engine, which can make faders and balls bounce, is entirely unique: allowing anything from a slight organic feel to absolutely chaotic modulations. Lemur goes deep: it comes with more than twice as many objects as comparable apps. Options for adjusting the look and feel of objects are vast, and connection to your gear is simple.
User Library
Access templates from top artists and the Lemur community. Some of these are actual templates used on stage, others are pure studio or creative tools. Share your own or simply browse the library and download whatever suits your needs.
– Physics
Hated physics at school? Now you’ll love it! The behaviour of many Lemur objects can be affected by powerful and easy to use physical models which can make your controller bounce, rebound and oscillate. Make your controller come alive.
– Scripting
There’s absolutely no need to dive into scripting if you don’t want to. But if you’re the type who likes to get their hands dirty then there’s a powerful scripting engine inside Lemur. Harnessing this power will allow you to build extremely dynamic templates.
– Editor
The Lemur editor, is a cross-platform (OS X/Windows) interface builder. It allows you to create new Lemur templates or edit existing ones. The drag & drop interface makes it easy to use. It allows you to create anything from the simplest set of faders to the most complex groovebox with no hassle.
– Connectivity
Simply connect your iPad/iPhone to your laptop over Wi-Fi and make the connection! Lemur also supports CoreMIDI allowing you to use hardware interfaces such as Alesis’ iO Dock or the iConnectMIDI or class-compliant USB MIDI interfaces (with a camera connection kit). You can even control up to 8 computers from one iPad with Lemur!

Auto-Tune ALL your live phone calls. The only app that lets you use the one and only Auto-Tune vocal effect on live phone calls. Wish we had this back in the day when prank calls were not so easily traceable.
While previous apps have let you record your singing with Auto-Tune, now for the very first time you can achieve the same results over the phone… in Real Time!
Not just a recording but Live. Surprise, amuse and shock your friends with live Auto-Tune phone calls to any phone number in North America.
There is a practice area where you can hone your Auto-Tune skills. To achieve the best effect you do need to vary the pitch of your voice. So use the practice area as much as you like and record yourself to hear your progress. It is always free to practice. Check out our website to hear live Auto-Tune phone calls in the video. This will help you get it right!
There are Featured recordings in the app to help you along.
When you are ready to call someone, you can tune only yourself OR both yourself and the person you’re calling. Imagine the possibilities! Two way Auto-Tune calls and the other person doesn’t even know they are being tuned!
Record your calls and share them with your friends and the world via Facebook, Twitter & SMS.
The first 30 minutes of outbound calling time are free. Afterwards you can add time for just pennies a minute with the convenience of in app purchasing. So you can even use the app to make low cost long distance calls with no Auto-Tune effect. Just dial 8 before the 10 digit phone number.
You will be required to verify your Caller ID information. This is done the first time you open the app. After verification you will have to restart Auto-Tune Phone.
A WiFi or 3G connection is required, but WiFi usually produces the best results. Otherwise try 3G instead.
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.
