Your most fun apps

[Deleted User]

Due to my brain malfunction, I'm gravitating towards fun apps at the moment. These are mine:

Blocs Wave
Shoom
DrumJam
Thumbjam
Selene Redux
iMachine2
Patterning
Samplr

What are yours?

BEBOT

chordion is a hoot

Figure is always great.
Gadget gives the illusion of productivity.
I wouldn't exactly call Xynthesizer fun, but it's enjoyable.
(I WANT to have fun with Samplr, but it leaves me cold. I will keep trying.
Same with Impaktor. I love the idea, but the execution is always disappointing.)

I still love Figure. Also @JohnnyGoodyear got me turned onto Bebot and I love it.

I still haven't fallen in love with ThumbJam though, and I keep trying. You would figure after buying Bebot with its super old look and simplicity that TJ would be more appealing. It isn't.

SoundPrism Pro is still a go-to app.
Samplr is fun.
Steel Guitar
Patterning
Fugue Machine

I like Shoom a lot. And when I feel like playing something I'm decent at, I fire up ToneStack and play some awesome tones from my guitar.

All loads of fun for me - the last 3 I can't come close to figuring out or controlling, but that's part of the fun

This week I have been mainly using Rebirth, which I’ve never actually taken the time to get into. It’s not as strange as I thought (although it probably helps that I used to own a TR-808 and still have an MC-202). Quite a fun app by itself, although everybody else already knew that. Of course, my aim is to have it not sound like a banging techno dance tune, but more like a sedate and musical air.

Did people know that Imagination / In The Heat Of The Night was programmed on a TB-303, using it in the way that it was intended, before it became a banging techno dance tool.

I finally took the plunge lately to grab:

MidiSteps

I seem to put everything through Frekvens these days for MAXIMUM JOY

Dude, you're just making up words now! Phawuo? Enkl?
You use Woowoo?
Nah, man, my mom uses Woowoo.

if I had to pick one: probably GeoShred (these days anyways, could change next month)

Jocphone

The usual please barman, oh, and have one yourself.

Thanks for the interesting factoid! Never actually heard a 303 playing actual, well, bass before.

I have a lot of fun programming animoog patches for hours. Also, The soundprisms. But, for sheer fun with just pure songwriting, Ikaossilator hands down. Still the most fun app I have. The only downside is its limited sound palette.

Lie. You can see the real bass right there in the video.

+1 for BeBot. Full Joy. I always seem to have fun when I open NanoLoop.

ExAsperis99

Really with the BeBot? I looked at the demo and thought, nah, that's silly. Or least very limited. No?

Werkbench! Only sampling setup I would call fun. Still fun even with the "fancy controls" open.

Bent.fm is always fun too, for those that like broken, suffering electronic sounds.

I've described Gadget to non ipad musicians as being like Reason, but cuter and more Japanese.

Then you must love MEDLY

Medly is nice. Auxy too. But Beatwave, while always playful, is also deeper: more effects, random/generative features, customizable scales, and since the last update you can load your own samples. Triq-Traq and Korg iDS-10 are also very well balanced in my opinion between fun and depth. But Beatwave just make me feel more self-indulgent and happier.

haha.
All right, fine!
But seriously, who started this thread? I was all proud of myself for making the decision not to buy the new Moog. I have plenty of apps, and having finally just unwound a couple of threads of the bafflement that is Modstep (baffling to me, at least), I decided, OK. No more apps until you exhaust the possibilities of the ones you have already.

Then I watched the video for iPulsaret. Woah. Right up my alley. And the other apps in the apeSoft bundle worth it? iDensity and Stria?

If it's mainly fun, Gyrosynth.

Sonicflux

Synthx is fantastic fun. Abandoned, it appears. So sad.

More than worth it, if you liked what you saw in the iPulsaret video. Can't claim to understand or control them, but I think they're so much fun to mess around with, and I can't get sounds and textures like that anywhere else
