Re: a great iPhone looper. Thinking about future development

This is awesome! I just got an ipod touch a few days ago and have been 
looking for good music apps for live performance.

ThumbJam will very likely be my first app purchase! It looks great and 
most 
importantly sounds great!

Lots of videos on YouTube:

Also, I found out that Dunlop makes a iPhone/iPod Touch holder for 
mounting 
to your guitar, a little pricey perhaps but it's cool someone is making 
that 
sort of product. I need to mount mine to my guitar but I may come up with 
a 
homemade solution with magnets instead (afraid my odd guitar might not 
hold 
a suction cup type design very well)

Subject: a great iPhone looper. Thinking about future development


Hi guys

After I read a recent post about an application called Everyday Looper I 
went on the AppStore to make some research and I found out another 
application really amazing. It's pretty expensive (4.9 euros), at least 
compared to the usual prices on the AppStore, but it really worths its 
value.

It's called ThumbJam: do not know if somebody here talked about it before.
It's absolutely going in the right direction: it's basically a looper 
(with 
multilpy "edp's style"!!!) but it offers the chance of switching between 
many instruments, so one can overdub different sounds (good quality). 
Really 
great. Give it a try. The only limit I noticed is the time necessary to 
switch from one instrument to the other.

I bought many musical application for iPhone just to check them out and 
see 
how the possibilities  of a touch interface could lead to different/new 
instruments/musical applications.
I wonder how in future applications like this could work on devices like 
iPad, with more dsp power, a greater working surface and - in a possible 
future - an audio interface so to mix different sound sources.
I guess we'll soon see many interesting new musical tools...

best
