Touch screen music making is all the rage these days… so whats the hold up?
Lately like many other people I have been very intrigued by the abundance of musical apps on both iOS and android os. My wife in all her gadget glory had numerous tablets, an iphone and an iPad 3. I being more interested in blowing my money on synths was relegated to a lowly iphone 4 and now a galaxy s3… I had been mucking about on all the tablets and phones in the house but things got a bit more serious when first I decided to buy both of my childeren Nexus 7 tablets for xmass and followed up with an ipad 4 for myself soon after.
so the App downloading went into full bore. One of my major curiosities was how the nexus 7 on the latest android os (4.2) which is supposed to solve all latency issues would fair. heck if it was really good I wouldn’t mind buying myself one as I enjoy the open attitude of the android platform. So I set out to find the best Android beat making apps and test out the touch devices finger drumming capabilities.
what I found… was disappointing to say the least.
