A host of free ones

[robsol]

These are some free apps I can't remember having seen mentioned elsewhere in this forum, apologies if they are...



Synths:

ToroCore - fairly simple one, but it has 'sticky keys' button and echo. Useful.

MobileSynth - Basic modelling mono synth with dual osc, LFO, env, filter and an arpeggiator (which does not quite work).

PC Speaker - incredibly basic, and completely useless!

Music Pad and TonePad - Matrix style/Monome sequencer thing. Probably a lot more of them around. Immidiate and simple to use.

Tweaky Beat - analogue style monophonic drum machine with a 16 step sequencer and 16 different programmable sounds. You have 8 patterns you can choose from and you can save and load sessions. Fun when you put some effort in.

4D synth LE - similar to Bebot, but far, far behind in all respects. It does not tempt me into getting the full version.

Powon - this is a weird one, control wise. It does not feel immediatley intuitive, but I suspect there is more behind this than first meets the eye. It seems to have OSC functionalities. So little time...

3ii3 free - interesting seq/synth combo, can make some nasty FM tones. Useful, but not quite intuitive IMO.

iGotSynth - monosyth, capable of frequency mod on the LFO, otherwise very basic.

TalkBoxx VX - monophonic vocoder, you need a mic connected on the iPod.

The Badlion's Garage Synth - Don't get it.

Jamix - makes some Toplap-like sounds right out of the box, but to be honest I have forgotten what it is this does, exactly. Is interesting though, and bizzare.




Sounds, ambiances:

RJDJ - I made a separate post for this, but I like it so much that I am mentioning it here too, because it is free.

APoliceRadio Free - internet/streaming based scanner, lets you tune in to various emergency frequencies around the globe (although not in the uk, IIRC). It sounds very cool though.

Ambiance Lite - there are tons of relaxsation apps out there, and I have not heard them all, but this one is good, with a large library of good quality sounds and new ones added on a regular basis. Lite version allows you to store 3 different ambiances at any time. Lots of settings, including playlist, alarm etc. Beware that the sounds themselves are copyrighted (as far as I can see from the EULA...)




Space apps:

Planets, Hubble, NASA and Stars - space is the place. Get with it. At least get Planets, as this could be really useful if you ever venture outdoors and happen to look up.
