Beatmaker

Today I decided to give the beatmaker application on the iPhone a try. Beatmaker is a sequencer which allows you to load a sample kit and create songs on the go. Next to that it also features a 2 channel fx processor and sample editor, all on a freakin phone. It costs 16 euro which by App store standards is not the cheapest app. But nothing said this application is well spend. If you are a musician like I am and have boring public transport rides every day, you can really check your musical ideas. It comes preloaded with tons of samples and you can also download a mac/win app to sync sample content to and from your computer. This I’d by far one off the coolest mobile apps I have seen.

By the way if you are interested in serious ear training, Karajan is a superb tool fir that. No I don’t regret buying an iPhone. :)

Here it is. After much thinking I have decided to buy a Nord C 1. I still love my vintage L 100 but this thing travels much easier especialy in airplanes. Beside that it sounds amazing. But why must it be so ugly red? :-)
I love it!
