This is a demo of Bebot – Robot Synth (App Store Link), which is available now in the App Store for $1.99.
Bebot is a polyphonic musical synthesizer with a unique multitouch control method, personified on-screen as an animated robot character who moves and sings the notes while you play.
Featuring four different synthesis modes, analog-sounding filters, a versatile delay/looping effect and overdrive distortion, Bebot is a full-fledged realtime synthesizer.
Up to four notes can be played and controlled simultaneously using multiple fingers.

The Good:
Its a great instrument and has glitches in it that allows (un)intentional compositions and rhythms. The sustainability of the tone across pitch makes it a great synth (Noise.io UI needs to learn from this)
Hint: how to get a beat.
Put on full echo repeat and echo volume, and then compose something. Compress it with the “echo time” function. This will get a beat going depending on how long you keep “echo time” at the lower left. This results in a bass (in general) pattern. Then you can compose further over it. Using this method you can get maybe two to three (merged) layers of patterns.
The Mundane:
The little cute robot is cute for about a second and then useless forever more. It would be nice to see a history of your touch trail.
The Bad:
(as with most iPhone Music apps, apart from Beatmaker and Noise.io) you cannot save the resultant music into a wav file and import it into another app (like Beatmaker.)
Also with each version iteration the menu system on the right is becoming less and less user friendly. The designers need to start using icons and better interaction.
Verdict:
Get it. You may have to sample the sound from the audio jack to reuse in another app.
Yeah, it’s definitely cool, get it!
one of the best apps I got for my iPhone… addictive
I love it. Thanks for calling attention to this very cool app.
I am planning to take it with me to our regular free improvisation group. I’ve been using it with one of those tiny Danelectro Honeytone amps and get great sounds.
Very cool! Phat analog sounding tones, run it through a bass amp and stand back. Also fun to keep it by your side and talk with the checkout registers at the mall!
my favorite app, if you want to listen to a song featuring it as the main keyboard lead: http://www.52songstoglory.com/ (song #21 – Go On With Your Life)
