I can't even clap in time but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love the ability to make music. A couple of these apps - Soundrop and Beatwave were two of my earliest apps and I often return to them to 'play'. Children, even very small children also have the ability to create really interesting music with these apps. I love the fact that they often get lost in these apps for long periods of time just sorting out something that sounds right to them.
SoundPrism enables you to create beautiful music immediately without any previous knowledge. With its unique visualization of pitches and intuitive controls composing sophisticated melodies, tone and chord patterns becomes child's play. Record and email your compositions right from your device.
This must have been one of the first apps I downloaded. Draw lines and watch as Soundrop uses them to create music! Tap and Drag to draw a line and then drag the handles to edit or double tap to delete. Lots of fun to reposition and range lines to create multiple sound from the one drop.
