Propellerhead, the guys who make the infamous and industry-standard Reason software, just launched this new iPhone app called Figure. It’s like a game where you use the built-in drum machine and synth sounds to make your own cool loops. It’s fun and surprisingly easy to use even for non-musicians. But if you do get confused, or want to learn more, their iPhone-friendly online manual is very well put together. And it’s just a buck in the App Store.
Update: Here’s one of my loops that I made this morning. Sadly, you can’t save or export the loops you make, so I held my iPhone up to my Yeti and recorded 8 bars worth in QuickTime. Fun nonetheless.
