First thought… it looks amazing! I’m blown away by this little app. Now let me wipe my mouth and tell you guys more about it.
ULoops Labs is a small company founded by two guys: Juan Bordón (juan) and Sebastián Marconi (k7k0). Now for the software itself…
Uloops Music Studio is a complete composition environment for android devices, and is based on 3 concepts: Song, Loop and Devices (including Synthesizers, Drum Machines, Modulators and Recorders).
With its 12 channel loop oriented sequencer Uloops lets you to mix up to 4-bar length recordings, synths, drums and modulators. The included polyphonic synthesizer has 109 instruments available with 6 different scales and a 7-octave piano roll helps you to enter notes.
You can see notes, LFO and filter envelopes (filter & res) in a single view.
The drum machine is packed with 35 drumkits, and each drumkit is offering 17 components, including bass drum, snare, hi-hat, crash, tom, among others. You can also apply effects to any sound you may have running, or record your own sounds with the built-in recorder.
You can also publish your songs in their online community.
