Rockmate for iPad Puts Big Jams at Your Fingertips
Are you ready to rock? Check out Rockmate for iPad, a music creation app from Fingerlab. The application is designed to allow users to play music, as well as to record and manipulate sounds.
Amazingly Rockmate fits the key elements of a rock recording studio — two guitars, keys, drums, and a range of effects pedals — onto the iPad’s screen. Everything is proportioned to be fingertip sized to maximize utility and allow the app to accommodate up to four players at once. Call up your college buddies because it’s time to get the band back together!
Anyone from a novice to a seasoned musician will find something to love about Rockmate’s features, which include:
• Realistic design and animations
• High-quality samples
• Realtime looper
• Smart metronome
• Mixer with level and pan controls
• Realtime Fx (distortion, multiFX, powerchord)
• Chords progression customizable
• Create your own chords
• Save your styles (Chords progression, FX, Drum, keyboard style…)
• Export: .wav or .aac
• Sharing: iTunes sharing folder and Email.
• Airplay
Rocklab looks to be both a portable and convenient solution for musicians, and could be particularly useful for bands that like to hammer out song ideas in a low-key setting. Creating music with Rocklab is also a great way for musically inclined iPad owners to pass the time with family and friends this holiday season.
Check out Rocklab in action as its creators put together a hook-filled demonstration that’s remarkably similar to Stereolab’s synth-laden “Jenny Ondioline“:
