Mobile Music Studio

Being the Failed Muso that I am, I am constantly on the look out for that wonder bit of kit that could change my fortunes. So imagine my joy when I discovered Syntrax, and imagine my sheer delight when I realised it was free for my mobile phone !!!

Yes, a sequencer, soft synth, sample editor and filters all on a Series 60 Symbian mobile, Pocket PC or Symbian UIQ phone. The Series 60 version is free and the others cost a measly $20 !!

Just check the spec:

* Upto 8 stereo audio channels simultaneously (previously only 6)
* Playback of samples with bi-directional looping support
* Realtime sound synthesis with 15 sound generation effects
* Realtime effects like filters, morphs and echoes
* A built in small sample editor
* A full featured sequencer
* Dynamic playback options (songspeed, groove, muting etc..)
* Realtime instrument parameter changing
* A lot of preset songs and sounds for you to start working with
* User adjustable sound quality for slower PocketPC’s/Mobile phones
* Memory card support
* A custom graphical user interface (knobs and dials)
* A heavily optimized sound core designed to give high performace on devices with low rources.
* MIDI and Wav export functions
