- COLORCODE VJ will work perfectly fine with just your iPad.
- It's a lot more fun with an external monitor though!
- In iPad 1, since there are few memories and the capability of CPU is also low, the COLORCODEVJ cannot run comfortably.
- We stongly recommend to use with iPad2, because of the hardware limitations (lack of CPU power and available memory) of iPad 1
The app is priced at $13.99 (45% off launch offer).

LoopsequeKids arrives
This is a bit of a departure for Casual Underground lab, but it's nice to see a developer focus and existing concept into a tool for children. I'm all for that.
Here's the app's description:
LoopsequeKids is created by Casual Underground lab, with love to all young musicians. This is the first step into magical world of music and adventures.
With LoopsequeKids you don't need a beat high-score or reach 10000 level in 5 seconds. You meet only peaceful locations and gentle sounds created for inspiration and fun.
The kid gradually learns the basics of the rhythm, and can appreciate the true value and beauty of the symmetry of music patterns on both audio-visual and tactile levels.
You will be surprised by your kid’s immersion into the world of wonderful colors, fairytale rhythms, and his own musical patterns.
LoopsequeKids is a musical constructor for the smallest composers. Any kid may realize his first musical ideas in a kind world, full of the magic sounds - alone or with other kids.
The app is priced at $0.99

Ambient polychords from polychordapp
Ambient polychords by polychordapp
Made with polychord v 2.68, this short piece demonstrates the musical effects you can achieve by layering different chords on top of each other. These are true 'polychords'. Polychords are great for introducing tension, texture and interest to your music. With polychord 2.68, you can achieve this when playing through MIDI (including apps that support virtual MIDI.)
