DopplerPad and 'A Million Years'

An interesting post on the Retroblog. An interview with band 'A Million Years'. Most interesting is their list of suggestions for DopplerPad:

K: If you don't mind I think I'll just include my suggestions as they appeared in my email to you:
  • An undo function would be really useful. Particularly because those trains I ride tend to move around a lot and I might fuck up the rhythm of something I'm trying to play. It'd be easier if I didn't have to start my loop over.
  • The ability to record a session or song internally (as in, play/manipulate your song live and then have a wav or aiff of what you did).
  • The ability to save different sessions — I've been using the program a lot and I can't always get to my computer to take stuff off to make room for more so the ability to save entire sessions would be great!
  • The ability to save to or select from a list of scales. A couple of other apps have this function and I think it's great. It's just another thing that could speed up the process of coming up with music.
  • This one is kind of weird but i think it could be a lot of fun — what if you could use the 'clear' function in conjunction with the Gate Arp. Instead of programming in notes that the program would play, it would erase what is already there in the beats you program. It would create a sort of "beat slicer" capability.
I think that these are great suggestions, especially the multiple sessions, I would love to have that feature.

I wonder what they're doing for the iPad?
