iTunes: RD4 - Groovebox - mikrosonic

"RD4 is a little workstation. 4 Tracks. It comes with 1 Synthesizer, called Analog: 3 oscillators, 1 AASR and 1 Filter section. The Analog has it's own grid editor. Very minimal: you can only set the keys and the length of the notes. A Baseline (r): 4 waveforms to chose from, a filter section and its step by step editor. The Bassline is certainly the module that I like the least in this App... To finish, 1 Drum Machine. Its only "shaping" parameter available for an instrument is a Punch button.
As I said, RD4 is a 4 track workstation. The thing really cool is that you can use any of this instrument in any track...
You can use it with 4 Drum Machine, or 3 Bassline and 1 analog...
As you like!
You also have a Mixer, 4 Effects (Distortion, Phaser, Delay and Reverb). one Send for each track but 4 send 4 each Drum instruments.
A Pattern Mode also allows you to play a pattern for each track (8 patterns can be saved for each instrument) from 1 to 2, to 3, and so on. 2 random modes are also available.

To conclude, the App is very well done but...
The Analog Synthesizer is really cool. It is the module I prefer in this App. You have enough parameters to shape your sound as you like.
The Bassline, as I said, is the one I love the least... Not fat enough, for me...
The 2 Drum Machines are cool, but it would be nice to be able to create a custom kit...
The live record mode is really cool, but more sharing features. At this moment, we only have: iTunes File Sharing,SoundCloud and Dropbox. Ok, it's cool, but I really need to have the AudioCopy / Paste at very least.
Hard to rate it, ...
Because RD4 is very well done, very simple to understand, but I want more! :-)
At the same time, it is only version 1 of this App...
I'm sure that it has the potential to be a Killer App..."
