Impaktor Live Drumming App By Beep Street

Impaktor is a drum synthesizer with a vast sonic palette, that turns any surface into a playable percussion instrument.

You just slap your desk like you would a real drum. The real acoustical impulses from the built-in microphone are used as an excitation source for advanced sound modules that simulates behavior of membranes, cymbals, metallophones or strings. This makes Impaktor a highly responsive and expressive instrument.

Dubstep App

Not sure what this app does as this is all it gives up on iTunes. I’m thinking it’s just a loop playback/mixing app.

Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in south London, England. It’s been described as “tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals”.

Now, with four gems at your fingertips, you control the music! Record your mixes and save your favorite presets. With hundreds of thousands of possible combinations you can be the DJ — Express yourself!

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad. Requires iOS 4.1 or later.

Dubstep is available for $0.99
