SongCatcher is something of an audio notation app, designed by aВ singer-songwriter to 'catch' aВ song before it disappears, as great ideas so often do! To help you construct your idea, the app has five tracks of audio recording and five tracks of MIDI recording, something of aВ first among the iPhone recording apps I've used. One thing aВ smartphone is great for is note taking, whether in text, visual or audio form. IPhone version ВЈ11.99 iPad version ВЈ14.99.

Given Image Line's good reputation for regularly updating their software, and the compatibility with the full version, it's aВ great way to carry aВ miniature FL Studio in your pocket.

At the moment, Nanostudio has the edge when it comes to those features (though even it can't record full audio tracks), but then it doesn't have FL Studio Mobile's wonderful step sequencer, nor as nice an interface or the ability to export files to the full version of FL Studio.ДЄs creative apps go, this is lots of fun and can give you something of an instant, portable fix of music creation, as well as help you to note down that hit single before you forget it! For FL Studio users with iOS devices (and that's aВ lot of people), this is something of aВ noвЂ‘brainer.

The effects serve their songвЂ‘drafting purpose well, although EQ, especially, could do with an update to movable bands, as IВ found the 'bass' band covered too high aВ frequency range, and boosting tended to make thingsВ sound boxy.ДЇL Studio Mobile is capable of sending and receiving MIDI data via the Akai Synthstation 25 or other Core MIDI-capable device, which is helpful for those wanting an input method that's easier on the hands than zooming in and out of the touch interface.ДЇor playing live, the drum pads and keyboard are responsive and clear, though you'll have an easier time using them with the iPad's screen than with the iPhone's! You can record these performances and edit the MIDI data afterwards, which can lead to some nicely expressive tracks.ДЇL Studio Mobile could certainly do with aВ couple more features: the ability to sample or record full audio tracks from the mic or microphone socket would be great, as would custom sample import (coming soon, apparently), some kind of soft synth, and some comprehensive effects.

Included effects are limiter, reverb, delay, EQ, amp simulator and filter (the last complete with nifty X/Y pad or accelerometer control). The builtвЂ‘in effects can be applied globally or to the effects bus, and each track can be routed to the bus. This works better than direct entry, though, which would be quite impossible (especially when zoomed out) given the high resolution of the piano roll. The piano roll is aВ little more fiddly (especially if you're working on the iPhone), and instead of entering notes directly, you 'stamp' them onto the roll with aВ grey cursor. Particularly good is the ability to accent the pitch and velocity of each step: great for varied rhythms. The step sequencer is, much like the one featured in FL Studio for Windows, incredibly quick, easy to use and versatile, and you'll be knocking up great beats in no time at all. FL Studio Mobile's step sequencer (left) is quick and easy to use, while the main arrange page (above) offers clever modes to allow plenty of control in a small space.

AВ step track can also be converted aВ piano roll, but not vice versa. AВ step track allows notes to be quickly dropped in and out, and is ideal for creating drum loops or simple melodic parts, while the piano roll lets you compose full polyphonic melodies and moreВ complicated rhythmic pieces. The sequencer allows you to compose with up to 99 tracks of two different types: either step or piano roll. The majority of the instruments suit composers in electronic genres. All these instruments are sampleвЂ‘based and you can't edit the patches in any depth, but you can tweak pan, velocity, and attack and release times.

Included with the app are 133 instruments, including drum kits, synth patches, slicedвЂ‘up beats, and some basic soundalikes of acoustic instruments. Both editions share identical layout and functionality.

Indeed, IВ think it's always been the perfect candidate for aВ touch-device version.Д®nter FL Studio mobile, in two fruity flavours: the standard version for iPhone and other pocket iOS devices, and the HD edition with aВ higher resolution, designed for iPad.

Image Line's FL Studio's quick and intuitive loop creation has always made it aВ turnвЂ‘to application for me, especially when inspiration strikes, so having it in my pocket would be aВ great thing indeed. Published August 2011 Image Line FL Studio Mobile v1.0
