Amen Break iPhone App
Alexander Smith has released an Amen Break iPhone App, a sample playback instrument that lets you manipulate the Amen Break – the most famously sampled drum break in history – by touch and motion.
Not the most useful app we’ve seen – but if you strapped a couple of these to a Mopho DJ setup, things might get interesting.
It’s $.99 in the App Store.
