Finger Stomp HD for the iPad

Dusty — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 08:00:05 +0000

I saw Finger Stomp HD in the Appstore’s New & Newsworthy section and decided to give it a try. If Apple selects it than it has to be decent right? Reading over the description, the App says that it lets you recreate your favorite street music and urban hip-hop beats., which immediately brought me to attention.

Even using the word, “Old-School” made me think about Kool & The Gang and all those times making hiphop beats with my friends on the basketball court benches. Another thing is when I first visited New York and New Orleans. I fondly remember the street musicians and all their amazing sounds (especially the drummers!). So does Finger Stomp HD actually allow you to recreate street music and all those jazzy beats?

Opening the app, you can immediately tell that the developer put a lot of effort into designing the app. The images are crisp and clear, and the background (albeit on an iPad) does it’s best to offer the user some kind of authentic urban experience.

But I didn’t buy the app to look at the background; I bought it to see if it really lets me recreate street music. The street instruments are quite various like trash cans, tires, various signs & boards, whistles, basket whooshes, crowd woo’s and etc. Simply touching on these street instruments plays the given sound. The sounds sound quite authentic to me, so another +1 for great audio!

Now with the beats. So you can pick and choose what instruments you want, and there is a BPM counter and a Metronome to let you actually stay on beat. Which was really helpful for someone who can’t normally keep a rhythm! You can turn 3D sound off and on, and I preferred to keep it off as real street musicians don’t have that feature.

There are really a lot of different beats and sounds you can make so the possibilities are really endless. And when you actually get to make something that sounds decent you can also record it and show off to your friends (which I have yet to do with the latter) . But for those who are interested in making some interesting beats and sounds without the complexity of DJ apps and head-ache giving mixers than this app is definitely for you.

One thing I regret is not having any friends who can rap or do some kind of hiphop, that would give it another bonus, but that’s more me than the app. Great concept, interesting app, and I look forward to seeing what more comes from this developer.
