iMASCHINE is an intuitive and powerful beat sketch pad for iPhone and iPod touch perfect for developing song ideas anytime, anywhere. Play and record drums on the 16 pads, jam a melody on the keyboard, sing on top of your loops via the built-in audio recorder or create your own unique sample banks from any source – With iMASCHINE the focus is always on the music.
And when you’re done, you can directly upload your track to SoundCloud and share with your friends, or finalize it in the studio if you own Native Instruments’ MASCHINE hardware.

This app is extremely cool!
It just works so well and sounds great, just as you’d expect from Native Instruments. I’ve bought it just to use on it’s own (as I don’t have the hardware) and it’s well worth every cent.
