This app is amazing and is a perfect handheld iteration of the same Propellerhead Software creation which revolutionized dance floors way back in the 90’s.

You get three powerful instruments inside your hand. The Roland TB-303 Bass synth and the Roland TR-808 and 909 drum machines.

Combined with built-in FX units, fully featured pattern sequencers and a quick-acting, scalable iPhone interface and you’ll soon be making some phat beats on the move. It is utterly amazing to think you have all this computing power in your phone.
