A Fun-To-Use Studio Synth In The Palm Of Your Hand? Go Figure!
April 5, 2012
Sometimes, great new releases sneak into the App Store completely under the radar.
Figure, from digital music pioneer Propellerhead Software (of Reason fame), is one such example. Hitting the market yesterday, the app is a unique and compelling take on what it means to mobilize musical creation.
Powered by Propellerhead's Thor Polysonic Synthesizer and Kong Drum Designer, Figure brings an exciting and dynamically-interactive studio experience to the small screen. Have a few minutes to kill or a quick idea to flesh out? You don't need to be an instrumental guru to have fun with Figure. From Propellerhead's product page:
Playing bass, drums, and lead melodies on Figure all happens through the performance pads. These have been designed for touch control from the beginning. You can tap them like traditional keyboards or pad controllers or you can simply hold your finger down and let the rhythm wheels provide a pattern for you. You can easily tap into the sound-sculpting power of Thor’s filters, envelopes, and effects by adjusting each preset’s “Tweaks”. Don’t know what a filter or envelope is? No problem! Just move your finger along the same performance pad and listen to the changes in sound.Best of all, Figure's available right now for just $0.99, so get it while the gettin's good!
