"Dance Music has been riding a heavy old-school wave, of which the 303s resurgence is part... The 303 sound is also finding its way into a lot of pockets, thanks to Pulse Code..." - Michaelangelo Matos, SPIN Magazine.

What makes Rhythm Studio stand out?

Rhythm Studio balances advanced music making features by using an easy to understand interface resembling real instruments. This means that one button does one thing just like it would with real hardware. Knobs turn, switches slide, and buttons press. You wont get lost in abstract interfaces, menus, or design.

Imagine having a studio of rare vintage synths and drum machines in the palm of your hand. Beautifully rendered synthesizers make seeing the app as enjoyable as hearing it. Rhythm Studio is the next best thing to having the real hardware.

Rhythm Studio allows you to make music the way you want to by giving you three different ways to create your song.

1. Use the step sequencer like the real hardware.
2. Use the Control Pad to play the synths live.
3. Instantly create a random pattern.

Pros and cons of Rhythm Studio app for iPhone and iPad

Rhythm Studio app good for

As an old fan of btbx from the guys at pulsecode, it was great to see their new app on both iPad and iPhone. It is indeed as great as btbx, you have fun in seconds making your tune. There are still a few things to get right (navigation can be tricky) but hey for that price youd better not wait. Love the synth sounds.
This app was fun to play around with, but its difficult to fully understand how to use. If youre a noon like myself, the machines can seem very complex. Something that would make this app much better is if there were a tutorial in the beginning so I could learn how to fully use this app. Other than that its fun though :)
Great quality, great interface, good sounds! BUT: -A tutorial is suggested, as it is very complex -maybe the ability to record voice or lyrics would be nice -the ability to create your own layers just some thoughts for future updates
Ive bought nearly every synth that has been produced for the iPad. I quite like this application, and the sounds it generates. I should also mention that the support for the app is quite good. I had a problem with the app after upgrading to is 5. I wrote the company and they wrote back with the solution in under 24 hours. Thats customer service!
Awesome App! I dont have idea what is that but I love the sound. I feel like a real Jean Micheal Jarre
For the 1 dollar I payed and the 3 hours Ive used it Ive never made a better app purchase on here in the past 4 years. I would love to see more hip hop orientated tools. I have never used a db or any the synths in my life and I understood them very quick. I find the zoom out feature annoying there should be an option to not have the multitouch zoom and just a button up top to zoom out and click the thumb to zoom in, that way you could add multi touch gestures on the synths Id think. All in all amazing. I wish there was a way to see all tracks in a sequencer at once like in FL. Gets this when its hot and cheap. I know the future will hold so much more. dont listen to bad reviews the help guide explains everything. love the update again!

Some bad moments

but you just could export your Songs like "Use in iMovie" And on the iPod touch 5g there is a black border at the bottom.
This is not what I thought It would be. The synths are barely customizable at all, and you dont have much control over your notes. Only buy this if you know this and are okay with it!
Ive had this app for about two months now and I still dont know how it works! So please, the next time you update add a tutorial and an export for SoundCloud!
After updating to ios 5 there is no sound neither in app nor in whole iPhone. After rebooting iPhone sound is ok, but not the app.
Great app. Tons of fun. Would love to see a more detailed manual on the fm synth, the ability to record while you tweak on the fly and an upload to soundcloud function. But all-in-all Very happy with what they have going on so far.
I love this. I can get great aphex twin style (analord era) sounds with it. Its just brilliant, and I hope they add more synths and/or drum machines to choose from.
