So I've heard, and very impressive. Cannot wait until my computer is a 2x4 foot touch interface... Like I CANNOT WAIT!

Was just reading about how touchscreen technology is about to become so cheap that it'll be disposable - with literal e-paper that can embed videos and shit. Costs $0.25 per square meter right now... which is crazy to think about.

although I have filtatron, animoog, alchemy player, cleartune. have to say the moog apps are AMAZING, alchemy player is pretty good - but not a full featured synth like the moog apps. and cleartune is great if you want a chromatic tuner that is very accurate.
Go w/ Korg. Trust me, you'll be pissed that u spent $20 on TNR-i. Its utter crap, sounds like shit and is basically un-finished.
Animoog is AMAZING!!! Some other good ones are IMaschine and Reason Figure!!

I use NanoStudio, ThumbJam, Alchemy, and Sunrizer. They're all really great apps imo.

For me, Figure is the best music app... I have tried nanostudio, Fl Studio, and they are too fiddly on an iPhone screen.
Native Instruments iMaschine is up there too!

It certainly has potential. But you can only record 2 bars and can't export!
nanostudio (the best idea sketch pad)
tabletop (i have sounds that i designed in the app... so do "oh no", "salva", and others)
garageband
rebirth
tools as i call them:
genome midi
lemur (my most used app.... my live setup is 100% custom template + ableton + MBP)
orphion
polychord
prochords
soundprism pro
touchable (amazing ableton controller that lacks any customization features therefore i do not use it much anymore but others do)
I don't know. It is kind of impossible to make figure sound bad. You can make dope little beats with it, but just can't do anything with it. This app seems a little more like you'd kind of have to work at it. I really wish you could arrange in figure.

There's a tiny bit of a learning curve to Triqtraq, but you it doesn't take much effort to get something funky going. I thought the same thing before I got it and it was only the demo above that nudged me to try it, glad I did now. Everything's pretty simple and straightforward once you get used to the flow. It's a good toy to play with when you want to make sounds without necessarily committing to a full song setup and all that. Sound quality's pretty decent too.
After all, what good is something you can make dope little beats on but can't export?

Yeah, I feel you. Figure is really disappointing, because it is so dope, but is such a dead end. It is like a demo for something. It is a suggestion of what something could be. The future though, brother, for these kids that don't even know what a saxamaphone is, is bright.

The iPhone was already around when I started producing. I used sfxr to make a bunch of songs in the beginning. That being said, you're probably not going to make a full song on your iPhone. That's why I like imaschine, it gives me the satisfaction of building a song but it doesn't give me the intimidatingly huge interface that FL and Music Studio give. I also like it because some ideas need that tactile element to flesh out ideas. It also has a recording sampler, with this you can just start knocking on walls and crap and have yourself a found sound beat. Very fun stuff

...Download Nanostudio and play with it for a week and then come back and say that. I dare you.
Has anyone seen a useful android app as a sample trigger?- basically a soundboard you can program yourself, perhaps with some effects too? I've got SPC http://www.mikrosonic.com/spc that does Fx/looping imported samples well but annoyingly it puts samples into loops/songs rather than just being able to press the button and trigger them. Seems like a big screen phone or tablet could work well as a kaoss pad type thing but I can't find anything that does it.
