Our pick of the best music apps for the iPhone

By: Porter Ivrin

The Pianist app for the iPhone lets you compose realistic-sounding piano pieces without the need for a piano! With its eighty-eight key virtual keyboard, soft and sustain pedals you can create tunes that are as complicated as you wish thanks to its overdub feature, and then record results.

Turn your iPhone into your very own woodwind instrument using the Ocarina app and you will be able to create flute-like sounds by blowing into a mouthpiece. You can press down on your iPhone to play different notes and chords and the app allows you to record your compositions too.

If the guitar is your instrument of choice then you are sure to get a lot of use out of the iPhone GuitarToolkit app. Use the metronome to keep time as you practice some of the five hundred thousand guitar chords that are loaded onto the app database, or tune up your guitar using the GuitarToolkit digital tuner.

With the ingenius RjDj app you can use your iPhone to create a soundtrack to your day using the sounds that are naturally occurring all around you. RjDj records noises and sounds around you like the ticking of a clock, traffic sounds, and the voices of those around you and then fits them into preset musical pieces to create unusually listenable tunes that you can then add to using the effects stored within the app database.

Pandora Radio is an app that allows you to create your own personal radio station. All you have to do is choose a few of your favourite songs or artists, and Pandora will seek out other music that is just like it from their vast library. It is a great way to discover new music, and over time, it will get a better idea of your preferences based on the suggestions you have skipped over.

Ever hear a great song on the radio or in a club that you did not know the name of, or the artist who did it? The Shazam iPhone app is here to help. Simply point your phone at the speaker and Shazam will let you know the song name and the artist, and allow you to download it from iTunes if it is available.

You can now own your very own interactive light synthesiser created by non other than world famous musician and genius producer Brian Eno! Using his electronic music know how, he has created an app that allows you to organically produce hypnotic musical pieces and visual patterns that will astound your eyes and ears.

Beatmaker is a powerful music making app, featuring a drum machine, sampler, effects processor and sequencer, allowing you to make complex sample and loop based compositions on the move. Best of all, you can export your finished compositions to a computer, or share them with other devices via Wi Fi.
