iOS Music Apps Roundup: October 2016


This iOS Roundup features five impressive iPad music apps from Spencer Salazar, Wolfgang Palm, Pioneer DJ, Reactable Systems, and Melodics.

Music Apps

Auraglyph | Handwritten Computer Music Composition and Design

Spencer Salazar, a doctoral student at Stanford CCRMA, has revealed Auraglyph, an audio software programming, composition, and design system for iPad that lets you draw modular synth patches with either a stylus or multi-touch input. Users can draw a variety of audio and control nodes as well as interconnections between them. These nodes are further parameterized by handwritten input, from simple numerals to time and frequency-domain signals. In addition, machine learning-based handwriting recognition is used to analyze the user’s stylus strokes, affording a rich vocabulary of symbolic input. Additional nodes are available for creating conventional input/output interfaces, such as on-screen knobs and sliders and MIDI I/O.

Phonem | Vocal Synthesiser

PPG Phonem by Wolfgang Palm is an iPad recreation of the VST/AU plugin version that lets users create expressive vocal synthesis. With its advanced routing system, a variety of sound manipulation controls, and built-in text to speech tool, you can control and modulate every aspect of the voice in any conceivable way. Although the PPG Phonem was originally designed to do just vocal synthesis, it turned out that the system was also capable of producing a wide range of universal synthesizer sounds. PPG Phonem also comes with 500 presets and a modulation matrix, allowing 19 sources to control 40 parameters for creating some wild sounds.

WeDJ | DJ Performace Suite

WeDJ by Pioneer DJ is a DJ performance app that makes it easy for anyone to start mixing music on an iPad. Using the colorful animated interface, you can control the tracks in your iTunes playlists and use a variety of features and FX to add creativity to your sets. WeDJ’s interface is designed to look like a two-channel hardware set-up with waveforms, jog wheels, play/cue buttons, tempo sliders, and a crossfader. You can use the Sync button to get your tracks perfectly in time and Auto Gain to automatically set the volume to the right level, leaving you free to use the performance features including Hot Cues, loops, Pad FX, and Combo FX to make your mix unique. There’s even an Automix feature, which seamlessly mixes in the next track before the end of the track that’s playing. And to take your WeDJ performances to the next level, you can connect Pioneer DJ’s new DDJ-WeGO4 controller for tactile control of the app’s features.
