Slicer – this lets you insert any amount of markers which essentially split the sample into a bunch of triggers. It is essentially a 6 track sampler that lets you manipulate the samples by touching them directly and utilising one of the 7 different modes. Why I particularly like this app is because it really uses the multitouch idiom of the iPad really well. I was not surprised to learn about Marco as there had to be someone of significant talent to come up with this beauty. Reactable is now also available as an iPhone/iPad app though I think it has lost quite a bit of its appeal in the transition. It is a physical table that you move blocks around on, when the blocks come near to others they “react” and generate sound or affect the sound of others. This is that peculiar system that Björk made famous. He was largely responsible for the graphics and interface of the Reactable synthesiser. Marco Alonso is the Spanish developer of Samplr and he has some quite interesting history. You can see in the video that Samplr lets you do many creative things with the samples you make on it. I only used my little Yamaha Guitalele (six string ukelele tuned like a guitar but a fifth up – bottom string is a B). Here is a video I filmed today to investigate the new mode. (umm this image is of an earlier version but more or less looks like this!) This app just keeps on getting better and better! My favourite iPad app Samplr has just had a great new update taking it to version 1.3.
