Tabletop goes from strength to strength, and the latest update is just jaw droppingly good. Here's the press release:
Just in time for the holidays, iOS development team Retronyms has released version 1.3 of its iPad app Tabletop. The largest update to the modular studio environment since launch, v.1.3 features two new pattern machines, three new effects, enhanced settings and incredible content from artists Salva, +verb, Oh No and Pete Sasqwax. The comprehensive update greatly expands Tabletop's reach, providing musical resources not available anywhere else.
XOX Drum Deranger - Drum Machine
The 16-step pattern machine is a new incarnation of the standard model, with each step being able to play one to all of the eight sample tracks in a kit. Further refinement of five parameters is available for each step as well.
- Distortion, length, balance, pitch, and level controls
- Adjust step parameters individually or globally with the Master Param wheel
- Optional dedicated outputs for Tracks 1-4
- Create kits from iTunes and AudioPaste imports and Recorder M2 samples
A faithful reproduction of the classic pattern machine.
- Tuning, cutoff frequency, resonance, envelope modulation, decay and accent controls
- Octave, accent, slide and waveform controls
- Randomize and alter patterns, pitches and accents
- Store over 30 patterns in four banks
Hold the pads on this one-of-a-kind glitch effect to create an incredible variety of new and evolving sounds. Stutter the 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32 beat forward or in reverse, and apply high or low pass filters at 4x, 2x, 1x and 1/2x the frequency of the incoming signal.
Overdose - Digital Distortion Effect
The Overdose distortion module provides as much or as little distortion as desired and the ability to increase the intensity of the effect.
3Q - Three Band Equalizer
This EQ provides the controls for refining the lows, mids and highs of the incoming signal.
Enhanced Settings
Improved session settings now offer Swing, the ability to move notes forward on the beat, and an extended Tempo range to decrease tempos down to 40bpm.
New Content
In addition to all the new devices, Retronyms have added three new demo songs to Tabletop that feature both included and new devices, and new presets to the M8RX tone matrix. The company is proud to announce the contributions of several very talented artists in v.1.3:
Oh No - XOX kits
Salva - M8RX, Gridlok and RS3 presets
+Verb - XOX kits
Pete Sasqwax - XOX kits
To celebrate the release of Tabletop 1.3 and wish everyone a happy holiday season, Retronyms are lowering the price of the app to $0.99 and putting the RS4000 Subtractive Synthesizer on sale for $6.99.

Seriously did someone forget to tune the lead synth Terrible demo of something that may be good.
I dug the demo it was Kraftwerk like. Thought the lead synth sounded fine too sounded tuned to me.
