Amidio used to make all of their app splash screens like this, and in some ways I preferred them to what they do now. The app was meant to be like Eno’s Bloom app only much better. I’m not sure it was. It was different, that’s for sure, but better? Maybe in some ways. I still liked this, and found it useful back when I first got it.

This version only gets as far as the splash screen on my 3G so it won’t be used any more sadly. I haven’t tried the latest version of the app that Amidio have released. Perhaps I should. But it won’t be the same experience.

Another circular sequencer concept. This one was quite tricky to use although the concept was good. I seem to remember that there were in fact a number of version of the app with different sample bases to them. Something that a number of people have tried out, but that hasn’t always been too successful.

Still, it was ok to use although I can’t see myself making any amazing tracks with it.

I’ve been a fan of Sunvox since the very first version I ran on my Treo under Palm OS. That was over 4 years ago now. It has come a long way since then, and the latest version is really amazing, with lots of new features and especially live recording.

Another app that I always thought was a little overlooked and had a lot of potential. One of the problems with it was that it was quite complicated to get to grips with. Perhaps that’s why it didn’t get the attention it deserved.

I’m giving it another go though.

I’ve mentioned Slice from the Strange Agency before, but this was a version of Slice they made but didn’t seem to publicise at all. It’s ok, not amazing, and functionally identical to the original Slice.

Whilst I think this is a worthwhile app and has some really nice features I already have a bunch of things that do much the same on my 3G device, so it won’t be staying sadly. But it is a good app and has a simple interface too.

To be honest, I never really got on well with Groovemaker, so it’s going from my 3G.
