Propellerhead Figure Now Universal
Out of the many fun and useless music apps that are available for iOS devices, Propellerhead’s “Figure” app is one of the more memorable ones. The problem is that it would be hard for someone who is searching for music creating apps to find it, out of the vast sea of apps that are available for download. There’s an app for almost every type of music producing device out there, from hardware synthesizers to emulated software. If you type in “drum pad” into the app store you are bound to find hundreds of apps that do exactly the same thing, with varying levels of quality and development behind them. “Figure” is special because it takes its cues from a rather complicated piece of software, Propellerhead’s Reason, and packages it up into an app that takes less than five minutes to learn how to use. For those who’ve already spent the dizzying price of one dollar on this precious app, here’s some good news: Propellerhead has released an update to the app, adding a few features that help expand your creativity. Legato note can now be performed instead of strictly staccato notes that were originally implemented. Also, an entire track can be cleared with one touch instead of having to create a new song from the file menu. http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2012/11/29/propellerhead-figure-now-universal/
