Re: a great iPhone looper. Thinking about future development
Bruno, I bought it and I had a lot of fun playing it in jams with friends.
Sounds are really good (the sampled cello was made by our dear list member Zoe Keating, and it's awesome. The same for the electric guitar and...lot of other timbres.
If I well remember, it was made by Jesse Chappell, the Sooperlooper developer and also member of this list.
It's a great app. and - as you said - i-Pad can open new possibilities...for sure ! (but I'd wait for the next generation of I-Pad befor buying it - and let others discovering bugs ...;-)

Hi guys
After I read a recent post about an application called Everyday Looper I went on the AppStore to make some research and I found out another application really amazing. It's pretty expensive (4.9 euros), at least compared to the usual prices on the AppStore, but it really worths its value.
It's called ThumbJam: do not know if somebody here talked about it before.
It's absolutely going in the right direction: it's basically a looper (with multilpy "edp's style"!!!) but it offers the chance of switching between many instruments, so one can overdub different sounds (good quality). Really great. Give it a try. The only limit I noticed is the time necessary to switch from one instrument to the other.
I bought many musical application for iPhone just to check them out and see how the possibilities of a touch interface could lead to different/new instruments/musical applications.
I wonder how in future applications like this could work on devices like iPad, with more dsp power, a greater working surface and - in a possible future - an audio interface so to mix different sound sources.
I guess we'll soon see many interesting new musical tools...
best
