Remix The World Around You On iPhone Or iPad

Smule MadPad app lets you point your camera to record sounds for playback from a set of pads 12-Sep-11

There's a bit of a buzz going round about Smule's MadPad, Apple's official iPhone and iPad App of the Week. The MadPad lets you shoot video of just about anything that makes noise and then play the noise back from a grid, just like playing a set of drum pads.

Here's what Smule has to say...

Remix your life with MadPad! Turn everyday sights and sounds like your car, an empty soda can, or your friends into the ultimate percussive instrument. Oh the possibilities! Woosh, boom, clap...anything can be music. Just aim the camera and shoot the sounds all around you: your local café, car, kitchen, kids, cat, friends... MadPad magic will take care of the rest. Or have fun playing with the hundreds of free premade sets.

Simply tap on video sets like a drum to create rhythms, beats, and loops. Remix your own video sets or play with tons of free video sets – from pianos to ping pong, silly sounds to sweet guitars. Discover new sets from the MadPad community daily! Even YouTube sensation Mystery Guitar Man made a set for you! MadPad will entertain you and your friends for hours.

Create fun music videos of your MadPad performances ready to share instantly on YouTube. Show the world your life remixed with MadPad! Make things interesting by sharing your own interactive video sets to see how your friends would remix your life.

Designed to be the ultimate iPad experience, MadPad uses hyper-sensitive 10-finger touch, high resolution video capture and playback, and smart trigger audio processing technology. Drag two fingers up or down each clip to bend the pitch and manipulate the playback speed.

Pricing and Availability:
$2.99

This is so awesome, I wish I had my own iphone. I had to use my mum's iphone.


theboredperson13 06-Nov-11 11:20 PM

I hate all smule apps especially the piano, which crashes a lot and is impossible to use because it depends on crappy Facebook, even with the horribly complicated update


musicfreak830 04-Nov-11 01:45 AM

Can I meet this guy? :)


Jkrofl131 02-Nov-11 11:59 AM

Good thing it's free now! Everyone should see this!


Sinvudyo 04-Oct-11 02:02 PM

musicroxz1234 29-Sep-11 02:41 AM

I heard this perfectly, but on the app, I can't hear anything...someone help please!!


laxplyr1982 20-Sep-11 01:28 AM

gey 


rosieandmoka 18-Sep-11 03:15 AM

Pardon the spelling, but I remember a song by Jackyl called Lumberjack which has a chainsaw, which goes to show that anything can become a musical instrument.


rosieandmoka 18-Sep-11 02:49 AM

@HelenTKGarcia Funny you should mention Stomp, because that was the first thing that came to mind upon hearing the video.


rosieandmoka 18-Sep-11 02:34 AM

Whoever came up with Madpad had an ingenious idea. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and can tell already I'm going to have lots of fun showing off my creations.


XxUnBOXINGxX 15-Sep-11 03:01 PM

RanRanRuTube 14-Sep-11 09:16 PM

Ricochet1616 13-Sep-11 03:36 PM

HelenTKGarcia 12-Sep-11 03:57 AM

Tiggz1551 11-Sep-11 02:14 AM

Epiccc


cjbenny0123 10-Sep-11 08:27 AM

@Lollykayepresley It's more of a rhythmic beat than anything but beats still form music to people such as myself.


mrdan108 10-Sep-11 08:25 AM

Is that how pink floyd did "money" in 1976?!


skittletube 10-Sep-11 02:46 AM

A new smash hit theme song for Honda is born!!


pbasiq 10-Sep-11 02:20 AM

Helena6Bonham6carter 09-Sep-11 02:08 PM

Lollykayepresley 09-Sep-11 06:33 AM

They are scrapin bottom of barrel now!! I love music, all types from all times BUT thats not "music" its jus "noise". Maybe im gettin old..... Lol!! :)) no offence meant to ANYONE this is jus MY opinion, which I am, of course, entitled to.


Portale88 09-Sep-11 05:07 AM

Those Honda Accord's are the best cars ever made. Seriously. And now Smule just made both the Accord and the iPhone worth owning again <3 Great app! Worth the money, foh sho!


CabooseFanatic01 09-Sep-11 02:58 AM

Wow that's a lot better than what I just uploaded...


boombaby16 09-Sep-11 01:28 AM

you can't bust out 1 dollar for this amazing app? you could find that in change on the floor of walmart :D


iSindha 09-Sep-11 01:09 AM

I can finaly be like Mystery Guitar man


smuleage 08-Sep-11 08:42 PM

Absolutely!! All you have to do is choose "share" for the set you want from the browse screen and e-mail it to yourself or post it on facebook or twitter. Now open that e-mail, facebook post, or twitter link from your iPad and tap the link that it generates. As long as you have MadPad on the iPad, tapping the link will open the app and download the set. MAGIC!!!


TheReelFilmGeek 08-Sep-11 08:04 PM

Is there a way to transfer a song I was working on from my Iphone and send it to my Ipad 1 that doesn't have a camera? As I can't really record using my Ipad but I can with my phone, but the IPad makes it so much easier to play around with? Any ways amazing App was worth the money!


Grof142007 08-Sep-11 06:44 PM

it GREAT app but i dont see paying a $ for it ill wait for the free promotion what a couple of months


donna9400 08-Sep-11 05:30 PM
