PaklSound1: a music buttonpad / sequencer for iPhone/iPod Touch

PaklSound1 was a "Staff Pick" during September 2008! (Check out PaklSound1 in the AppStore.)

Looking for PaklSound1 Deluxe? It's no longer available: Please see this open letter.

About

PaklSound1 simulates a musical button pad for making up tunes on the go. It is loosely inspired by the Tenori-on and Monome, but is quite a bit simpler than either of those devices.

Please feel free to e-mail me with feedback, ideas and suggestions.

Many of the sounds in PaklSound1 are from The FreeSound Project. In accordance with Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0, I'd like to acknowledge atomwrath, metamorphmuses and calaudio for sound samples. In addition, some sounds were shamelessly borrowed from examples in the ChucK project.
