Loopimal
© 2015 Lucas Zanotto
Like Garage Band for toddlers, this app turns your iPad into a looping musical toy -- in the key of C -- with six moving animals. You discover that you can "program" the animal motions by dragging and dropping sounds onto one of the eight spots on a sound stage. Because each sound icon results in a different effect, you're suddenly making inter-related loops. One minor drawback: there is no pause or mute and you can't control the playback speed. This app was made in Finland from the makers of Drawnimal. All of the tunes are in C-major, which makes it easy to use this app as a rhythm section, for playing along (the white keys on the piano). The sound design and music was created by Ulrich Troyer.
