Previously here on RouteNote we have talked a little about musical iphone or ipod touch applications such as the Ocarina, and here is a new one, the iDrum.
The iDrum lets users remix a bunch of classic club tracks with more than 300 samples to play with, tapping the screen to build up layers of bleeps and beats.
There are 3 different apps available in the iTunes store.
Ministry of Sound version –
Club edition –
Hip-hop edition –
The prices vary depending upon your country, but check it out!!
The Ocarina from Smule synthesizes sound in real-time based on your “wind input” (fancy talk for you blow on it), tilt, and finger placement over four graphic “holes” overlaid on the multi-touch pad. Unlike some iPhone audio apps, the sound is not pre-compiled but is generated by the individual performer. As a result, “it allows an iPhone user to explore and master the musical sounds of an entirely iPhone-native version of an ancient flute-like instrument.” Its available for $.99 at Apple’s AppStore. Here’s a demo and be sure to check out “Starway To Heaven” after the jump. You can purchase the Ocarina Application on iTunes here.
