Here is an app worth getting. Particularly made for the people who love to create music, Retronyms presents the DopplerPad which virtually transform you iPhone or iPod Touch into a virtual keyboard or synthesizer to allow you to create your own tune/s with a simple touch and record interface.

Layer sounds indefinitely, adjust tempo and mix those beats as you wish. There are 37 seven instruments you can use to design melodies along with some bass, percussion and other sound effects as you deem necessary.

DopplerPad’s interface imitates the standard DJ setup of a mixer with turntables on either side, but replaces the turntables with music-producing touchpads. The app launches to the mixer, where the user can access the two touchpads, playback controls, a crossfader and a loop bank that stores up to 14 loops.

The DopperPad from Retronym is now available at the App store for $9.99. Check out the video.
