Aircussion

Unlike other drumming apps that require you to play the drums with your fingers on the screen, Aircussion uses your smartphone AS the drumstick or percussion instrument.

By holding your phone in one hand and your thumb down on any of the instrument tiles, start air drumming with your device and the sound will be produced! This results in a much more natural and virtual drumming experience for amateurs and professionals alike.

Aircussion also has a built-in 8-track sequencer, so that you can build up your favourite drum beats in the exact same manner. But don’t worry – if you’ve never made or played a drum beat before, we’ll walk you through a super easy tutorial and have you building beats like a pro in no time.

Features include:

– 90+ sounds to choose from including: drums, cymbals, shakers, tambourines, world instruments, animals & more
– 8-track sequencer to record your own drum beats
– Factory instrument layouts & drum beats for you to play around with
– Saving & loading of your own customized layouts & drum beats
– Volume controls for every track

ToneStack Guitar Effects For iPad

ToneStack is the ultimate in signal processing: with the largest variety of amps & FX, the latest advancements in modeling technology, and an unbelievably powerful yet simple interface – it simply shreds all the other guys.

Thanks to ToneStack’s state-of-the-art “Virtual Circuit” technology, each ToneStack unit is the digital mirror image of a real analog topology. Unlike other FX apps that try to copycat with EQing and other gimmicks, ToneStack recreates the intricate designs of the real thing. The result is a warm, responsive tone with the natural behavior you find in analog units.

Amazing Selection of Pro Amps & FX

ToneStack offers a huge range of amps, cabs & FX: from sparkly clean to sizzling hot bias tube amps, iconic stompboxes, pro-grade rack units, and high-end reverbs, ToneStack the most complete plugin suite on the iOS.

ToneStack also brings many powerful guitar FX to the iOS for the first time: polyphonic octaver, harmonizer, realistic spring reverbs, virtual-reel tape delays are just a few examples.

The Most Versatile Signal Chain on iOS

Why be limited with just 4 or 8 FX that other guys max you out at? ToneStack lets you run a whopping 64 amps & effects simultaneously* so you can let your imagination run wild.

For even more power, ToneStack includes a unique ABY unit not found in other FX apps. Split your signal anywhere: run dual amp setups, switch or blend FX chains, or multiplex your signal via frequency splitting – countless permutations, all up to you.

You can match any amp with any cab (all cabs have 3 mics with distance & position settings); you can insert any unit anywhere – even between amps and cabs like a true FX loop. Managing your signal chain is as easy as dragging and dropping an icon!

inSTUDIO & Other Goodies

Wanna quickly jam up an idea, or cut a song and share it? ToneStack offers a powerful 8-Track recorder – first two tracks free — with plenty of user-friendly features. Fire up the built-in Tapedeck to quickly record an idea or create loops, or manipulate audio with its Hi-Q pitch & time shift. Import & export audio via email, WiFi, iTunes or copy/paste. Built-in tuner, metronome and a custom onSTAGE mode are just a few other amazing ToneStack features.

All the Pro Features of iOS
