First opinions on Lemur for iOS

So yeah, I couldn't help myself. I brought the new Lemur app by Liine. For me, the original Jazzmutant Lemur was the perfect controller, I wanted it so badly but unfortunately the original hardware version was a little out of my price range. The other day I posted here on Voltage-Controlled that Liine had just released an iOS version of Lemur.

I did say that I was going to wait a while before I brought the Lemur app but obviously I had a moment of weakness soon after and brought it. Now I'm in love with it, it's something that I know that I'm going to use a lot and when I say a lot I mean a LOT. It might have quite a high price tag for an iOS app but I can tell you, if you're serious about writing/performing electronic music then it's most definitely worth it.

I'm going to be writing a proper review of this thing soon and maybe posting a few YouTube videos of me messing around with it but for now I'm still learning about the editor and familiarising my self with it.

But anyway, here's a pic of the first custom interface that I made with the Lemur app.

Lemur is available from the app store now.

It's here! Lemur for iOS has hit the AppStore

That's right the legendary multi-touch controller has finally hit the iOS AppStore. Lemur is available to download onto your iPad, iPhone & iPod Touch for £34.99.

The original Lemur hardware controller was used by many artists including: Daft Punk. Björk. Nine Inch Nails, Deadmau5. M.I.A., Justice, Hot Chip, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Orbital, Richie Hawtin, The Glitch Mob, Matthew Herbert, Joris Voorn, Stephan Bodzin, Modeselektor, Alva Noto, Richard Devine, Gui Boratto, etc.

£34.99 is a bit of a hefty price tag for an iOS app but you have to admit that this does look pretty awesome. I think for now I'll stick with TouchOSC for now but I'll definitely be considering an upgrade to Lemur in the near future.

You can get Lemur from the AppStore here.
