Voix is an inexspensive vocoder for iPad that lets you play your voice like a synth. With Voix, your voice sounds like a singing robot.
WARNING: This app does not work on and iPad 1 with an Alesis iO Dock. I was all excited to get a nice portable vocoder setup for my iO Dock only to find I wasted my money. I also thought it would be nice for them to include more waveforms. There is only one from what I can tell.
For best results, use with headphones and an external mic. Voix does with iRig Mic by IK Multimedia.
FEATURES
• Simple to use: just speak into the iPad mic while playing the onscreen keyboard
• Use external MIDI controllers to play the carrier synth (via In-App Purchase)
• Choose between analog-style 8-band vocoding or digital FFT vocoding
• Slide your finger across the ribbon controller for glissando effects
• Play up to 5 octaves with the Octave Up and Down buttons
• Play the vocoder like a regular sawtooth synth with the Bypass Vocoder button
• Record your performances, save them to your computer with iTunes or send them via e-mail
• NEW: Copy audio to other apps that support AudioPaste for further processing
PLEASE NOTE – Voix works in real-time using your iPad’s mic and speaker — you’ll hear your voice transformed as you speak. As this can potentially cause a feedback loop, Voix employs feedback suppression by default, which may result in choppy sound. For best results, plug in headphones and then turn off the Prevent Feeback button.
MIDI control requires an iPad MIDI/USB interface or an ad hoc WiFi connection to a Mac or PC with Core MIDI support.
AudioCopyPaste requires one or more compatible apps. For a list of apps that support AudioCopyPaste, visit: http://www.sonomawireworks.com/iphone/mapi/#apps

The Alchemy Mobile interface was designed with ease of use in mind. You can play the mini keyboard built into the app, which features scalable key size and one touch major and minor keys so even the clumsiest fingers can play along with friends. You can also plug in an external Core MIDI keyboard.
Using Alchemy with other apps like NanoStudio and Garageband is easy, thanks to the included loop player. Simply paste a loop from your sequencer into Alchemy Player, hit record, and play in your killer bass part, and then paste the resulting loop back into the sequencer. Alchemy Player is the first iPhone app to feature exposé, which makes switching between pages a breeze.
Want to know why Alchemy Mobile has such amazing sounds which can change so drastically with a tap of the remix pad? The performance controls and remix pad are linked to the most powerful synthesis engine on iOS, which allows you to morph and change the sound in radical ways not possible with any other synth. Alchemy’s VA synth, sampler and granular and additive resynthesis, combined with almost unlimited modulation sources, effects and a flexible arpeggiator are used to power this expressive way of creating new sounds for your music.
The free version of Alchemy Mobile includes 25 sounds, with a further 25 available when you register for free with Camel Audio. You can expand Alchemy Mobile with a wide range of sound libraries such as BigTone, Cinematic and Arp Dimensions from world class sound designers. The libraries each contain 50 sounds (400 variations) and are available as in-app purchases.
Alchemy is programmed to make the most of your device, so the more recent your model the higher the polyphony and the lower the latency.

Noteplex By mode of expression, LLC offers a new and unique way to create and experience music. In noteplex, you see the music happen before your eyes.
Noteplex presents composers with a hexagonal board of cells on which can be placed nodes. A noteplex song begins when the first node fires a pulse. These pulses hit other nodes, which play their sounds and fire more pulses. Those new pulses hit other nodes, and so on. You’re hearing a noteplex song!
Share your best work online and explore what other noteplexers are creating. Favorite your faves and see what’s getting attention.
Everything from drum loops to “Happy Birthday” to extended compositions can be created with Noteplex. This radically different paradigm for composition will push you to new and unexpected places creatively.
