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.
