I've reviewed quite a few iPhone and iPad music apps here onVoltage-Controlled. I have to admit the majority of them are aimed at experienced musicians and producers that know their way around music software or have basic knowledge of how to program a synthesiser.
But what about the people that are inexperienced with high end music production and just want to make a few beats and have a bit of fun?
Gear4 have announced PocketLoops, a portable music creation platform aimed at the beginner. PocketLoops is a miniature keyboard dock that allows the user to create their own beats and melodies using the PocketLoops app on their iPhone or iPod touch. Just slide your Apple device into the keyboard dock and download the free PocketLoops app from the AppStore.
The app lets you create your own beats no matter what your level of musical expertise. You can record and layer your own musical loops, add drums and perfect your creation without really having to know anything about music creation.
The app also includes a selection of 13 different sounds to play using the Gear4 keyboard dock including synths, organs pianos and more.
If you're already quite confident with your music production skills then maybe this app isn't for you and you'll probably know of some of the other iOS music creation apps out there. But if you just want to have a bit of fun and make a few cool beats on your iPhone then the PocketLoops keyboard dock is available for just £49.99.
