"Square Beats has a unique and very simple interface, but accomplishes so much.
It starts by presenting a set of squares to you that are timed from left to right.
You simply tap on one of these squares to activate its sound. Hit some more and you have your first loop, but that's just one set. Pinch Out and you can create the next.

You not only can attach different instruments and sounds to every set you also can put them next or on top of each other to create a complex beat.

Sounds difficult? It's really not.
Everything like setting the tempo, changing instruments, pitch, sustain or volume is easily done with just a few fingertips. Even the key of a set can be changed like that.

Within minutes Square Beats lets you sketch out ideas or create astonishing beats by just exploring the app playfully.

You can save your songs and export them to an audio file.

You want to share them with your friends? No problem. We build in an option to let you post your beats to SoundCloud.

Square Beat comes with 96 instruments. If that's still not enough, you can create your own instruments within the app.

And last but not least: Square Beats looks freaking cool too. Try it.

NOISEPAD
Noisepad is a user friendly drum computer, sequencer and beat creator made specifically for live performances and instant result.
It has been designed to give you the most functionality and fun without having to go through a steep learning curve. After installation you'll find 5 preloaded soundbanks of 12 samples each, ready to start the beat making. You'll be bouncing your head within 5 minutes, that's a promise!
The onboard sequencer allows you to program up to 12 patterns on-the-fly, each with their own duration (1 -- 99 bars). Switching between patterns is seamless; the sequencer makes sure the next pattern starts when the current has finished. Apply effects to the pattern, mute samples or have them playing solo on your command. Adjust the Beats Per Minute with precision or by tapping at the speed of the beat and add a bit of swing to make the beat feel just right.
It adds a new dimension to your live-sets, parties and all places where you want to make noise. Synchronize the BPM with the music you're playing and add a little bit of your own flavor to it, or simply trigger the samples by hand. Real-time effects such as pitch, delay, cut-off, phase, reverb and bit-crush will bring your noise to life.
Organize the samples into your own custom soundbanks using the built-in organizer. Once you're done playing with the packaged samples, the in-app shop provides additional soundpacks to discover or you can load your own samples using iTunes File Sharing for unlimited possibilities.
Noisepad v1.0 was released in 2011 by iPhonk a division of MediaGROE BV

Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know - Old School Computer Remix

YouTube Published on Sep 28, 2012 by bd594

"HP Scanjet 3C as the vocals. It lags a bit due to the fast paced vocals. In order for the stepper motor to play a note it has to be moving and with that large carriage it takes a few milli seconds before it can play a note. It doesn't sound like a lot of time but stretch that over a 4 minute song and voila...out of sync. Programming does help to compensate but it is not perfect.
Amiga 600 Bass on left audio output and Guitar on right audio output
Each audio channel was feed into an oscilloscope
2 Harddrives as the drums and cymbal
Xylophone as the Xylophone (duh)
Both the Harddrive and Xylophone are controlled by one PIC16F84A mircocontroller"
