Welcome to another episode of sonic TOUCH - the show dedicated to music creation on the touchscreen device. We are primarilly focussed for now on iOS devices - this may well change as other platforms become viable.

This week we look at the new Lemur for iPad app - from LIINE.NET. A direct port of the original Lemur hardware touchscreen dvice from Jazz Mutant.
We also take a look at the newly released version of NANOStudio from Blip Interactive - the original “wow” music creation device for iPhone. Its now native and had several other key updates.


We look forward to your comments.

Lemur    £34.99/$49.99  discounts for Lemur owners
NanoStudio  £10.49 /$19.99
LoopyHD £5.49/ $7.99

Thanks guys - another great show. Would be great if you'd do a bit about getting audio in and out of the ipad. Great stuff!

Hi Nick & Gaz, Each episode of Sonic Touch has been quite informative. Your explorations into making music with tablet computers/apps has helped me with recent hardware and software purchases. I'm looking forward to more. Keep up the great work!

Funky stuff! I don't have an i-pad and have asked for a Kindle for Christmas. But watching these shows and seeing what you can do with an iPad... makes you think. Thanks.

Good Show . Thank you , Keep UP the music love . 


MrJakewoodall 13-Jan-12 06:48 PM

lemur is buggy as hell IMO and you could design your own but its buggy and gives serious chunking errors if you have bigger presets


ridiculousbo 20-Dec-11 07:14 AM

I would to learn how to interface my iPad running Nanostudio and my iPhone to control it much in the same way you played out the show.


Pagroove 20-Dec-11 01:14 AM

Thank you for reviewing Nanostudio. Good review to. Love the show. Keep it up.

A great job on this new series, please keep up the good work.

When I first saw Little Boots play the Tenori-On, I thought 'Geez that hardware is pretty expensive. Why not make it a tablet app?' Well now that I've got it on the iPad I find it a little confusing - it's not the easiest interface to use. Would you be willing to do a product shootout between TNR-i and some of its grid-based sequencer competitors, like BeatWave, Aurora Sound Studio HD, and others?


TalNadav247 18-Dec-11 06:37 AM

can you explain more on how to hook it up? especially with the PC? in terms of data transfer. what is LoopMidi (and alike)? how do i configure it all? what are midi ports?

those things are a barrier to mw when i try to work my ipad and touchOSC on pc (with ableton) and thats the same (i see) on the lemure for ipad?


Slipknot4ever88 17-Dec-11 06:43 PM

Cydia! I like it :D Your show rocks! Respect! Please review Mobile POD for iPad!


ridiculousbo 17-Dec-11 04:37 AM

Great show! Know of any Monome-like apps? Keep up the good work!


mrBrianlovesmovies 16-Dec-11 05:21 AM

well done fellas!


maitilupas 15-Dec-11 06:23 PM

awesome guys!


ultra13nerd 15-Dec-11 04:33 AM

Can someone make a tutorial on how to hook up a midi controller with nano studio? I have nano studio and a midi controller but I dont know how to combine the two


kultvideoklan 15-Dec-11 03:32 AM

big fan of sonicstate's shows!still waiting for the "chemistry" between hosts.


liquidcast 15-Dec-11 01:12 AM

The Ipad is a jack of all trade's. The Lemur is a master of one. I'm not getting rid of my lemur.


dfrogy13 15-Dec-11 12:30 AM

sonic touch 4 thumbs up. great job again. show us if we hook up usb interface to record vocals or even a guitar or bass and amp modeling program on them.


freesoulvw 14-Dec-11 10:42 PM

I want to build my interfaces on the iPad itself not use programs and transfers.


freesoulvw 14-Dec-11 10:41 PM

I was all excited for Lemur and then I woke up. Going MidiTouch if I need instant custom built midi control.


freesoulvw 14-Dec-11 10:37 PM

Good show. Time flies by even at the increased limit of 20 odd minutes. I can't wait until you guys don't seem so rushed and could actually tangent off,that's just me. Though. I like your stories


bcolliander 14-Dec-11 09:54 PM

Great work, always look forward to your touch sessions :) Do you know of any app that routes/connects audio from one app to some sort of DAW on the iPad. For example if I wanted to record the output of Mobile POD first and the record the audio putput from alchemy on track two... do you get what I mean?


mimomusic 14-Dec-11 08:29 PM

Love the show! It would be nice if there was a news roundup at the beginning that quickly mentions new products and software updates, etc...


mattsynth 14-Dec-11 06:13 PM

Touch OSC works great as a controller for Cubase at only $5.99. Not as deep as Lemur but works well for me.


mCKENIC 14-Dec-11 06:11 PM

Great episode chaps as always! Well done and thank you very much for bringing us these reviews! Could you take a look at the mobile FLStudio at some stage please? I really miss it since going all Mac and the OS X beta aint up to much :(

Thanks again & keep up the good work!


JoergWessels 14-Dec-11 04:57 PM

@jdoo2100 Yes Reason for the iPad would be a reason for an iPad.


jdoo2100 14-Dec-11 04:18 PM

I wish there was Reason for iPad!!! I"m sure they will try and capitalize on the tablet market soon enough!!
