Tenori-On esque Matrix Sequencer For iPad
Aurora is our pattern based musical sequencing software. By simply choosing a musical scale every note you play is in perfect tune, leaving you to make your own great sounding music.
If you are a more accomplished musician you simply switch Aurora to advanced mode and you get full control over the built in instruments and effects, as well as many advanced modes such as the Atomizer and XY Mode which allows you to manipulate sound in real-time. You can create your own instrument from recordings made using the built in microphone. Just think, a full drum kit of you beatboxing into the microphone!
Aurora allows a mixture of pattern based recording and live performance. You can piece together complete compositions or simply improvise a performance. All of which can be captured to a file, for use as a ringtones, or to share with others.
An integrated mixer, combined with the ability to add audio effects and layer automation means that you achieve a sophisticated sound in a fun and user friendly way.
The online Aurora Song Library allows Aurora users to share their tracks with the rest of the Aurora Community. Browse the library to download the latest tracks, or search the library to see what your favorite Aurora Artist has published. The Aurora Song Library can be found at http://aurora.4pockets.com/

For anyone remotely interested in what the iPad and iPhone can do for music creation, Aurora’s probably the best thing you can buy.
MusicTech Magazine
A powerful and flexible composition tool that’s even plausible as a small-scale production suite.
Review from Australia
I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this program… I have to stop myself using it in bed because it just keeps me up all night.
I have bought almost all the iPad music apps I could find and Aurora is by far the most innovative and the best! On top of that, no other I have found lets me get right into the sounds like Aurora.
Music Radar
A truly inspiring production environment. If you’re an iPad owner in the market for a portable production tool, you definitely won’t want to pass this one up.

Simply awesome, I thought the iPhone version was great, but this is in another league.
