10 of the best beat-making apps

01 RUISMAKER NOIR $7.99

AUV3 | iPAD/iPHONE | MONO, N/S PRESETS

Described as a ‘Relentless Rhythm Synth’, Noir creates beats and loops from scratch and is packed with drum synthesis options – indeed, such is its flexibility it almost veers into bass-sounding territory at times and we nearly put it in our Groovebox category (see p30).

026X806 NOISE DRUM SEQUENCER $2.99

AL/IAA/AB | iPAD/iPHONE | N/S SOUNDS/ KITS, MULTIPLE EXPORT OPTIONS
