Figure – A Fun App for Creating Music on Your iPad

October 29, 2013 by admin

figure Figure is an iPad app for creating music and sound loops. You don’t have to have any musical talent or inclination to create music with the Figure app. To create music you simply have to drag your finger across an instrument to create a pattern. You can combine patterns across drums, bass, and lead guitar. Each pattern can be adjusted for tempo and key. The volume of each pattern can be adjusted individually then blended with the others. When you’re happy with the music you have made you can export it to SoundCloud or iTunes or send it to a friend via email.

Figure could be a good app for students to use to develop soundtracks to use in video projects or to use as bumper music in podcasts. Of course, the app could also be good for students to use to just experiment with tempo and key change.

July 1, 2013 by admin

Screen Shot 2013-06-29 at 5.11.59 PM Vjay is an iPad app for creating short music video loops. The app provides a collection of free music video clips that you can blend together to create a new music video loop. You can adjust the tempo and volume of each clip individually as you blend them together into your new creation. Your finished product can be saved on your iPad, sent to YouTube, and shared on Facebook.

Vjay could be a good app for students to use when they need to create bumper music or theme music for a podcast or video project.

Update: When I wrote this post the app was free. This afternoon it appears to be priced at $9.99. As a free app, it’s great. I don’t think I would pay $9.99 for it though.
