Yes, there's a 16-step sequencer with 6-part/16-step drum machine and a sound library. It's a great piece of software if you want to play around and make some music.

What do I have to do then after I get through the 16 step? Can I mix all together?
Ive been watching some vids. The tool is so powerful, and it looks like its pretty hard to start out with when you havent tried something like this.
My biggest fear is that I probably end up buying sofware Im not capable of learning. |

For all practical purposes, it operates like a real MS 20 synthesizer and analog sequencer (plus other amazing features). If terms like oscillator, high-pass filter, and LFO don't mean anything to you, don't get it if you're not prepared to spend a lot of time and effort learning. I suggest going on Youtube and searching disschord. This guy has a great and growing set of tutorials on iPad synths, with several on the iMS 20. He also offers vids on synth basics which I think may be helpful to you. I suspect you're capable of learning it. The question is do you want to spend a lot of time learning how to play an old-school synth (which would definitely be rewarding) or are you looking for ways to make music fairly easily on your iPad?
There are many, many easier ways to create music on the iPad, including GB and Thumbjam, which you already have. Try RS4 Rhythm Composer, for example, which is either free or very cheap, and has absolutely amazing features. They also offer a free synthesizer app, which I think would be a better learning tool for a beginner. Have fun! |

| Another Korg recreation of an oldie but goodie--the Electribe. Judging from your interests, this is a must. You could probably start making beats immediately based on a large library of templates, but some time with the manual and YouTube tuts will not only have you building beats from scratch, but also familiarize you with filters, oscillators, and other synthesizer concepts.
