When LoftLab introduced the TonePad matrix synthesizer for the iPhone, we said it was a bit like musical crack.

You start the app, you press the sexy buttons and the matrix synthesizer serves up immediate gratification, lighting up and making the pretty sounds.

Now that they’ve got people hooked, though, LoftLab has introduced TonePad Pro (App Store link).

TonePad Pro makes this more addictive than ever, because it lets you make TonePad ringtones and share them with your friends…..so you can get them hooked on musical crack, too.

Sounds like a business plan to me.

Check out the free version (App Store link), and if you give TonePad Pro a try, leave a comment with your thoughts! Read more…

TonePad (App Store link) is a free iPhone app that’s a bit like musical crack.

It’s a matrix synthesizer/sequencer, derived from the design of the Yamaha Tenori On, via Andre Michelle’s ToneMatrix, letting you create musical phrases by pressing virtual “buttons”.

Description:

TonePad features a clean minimalist user interface with a full 16×16 matrix. The sound quality remains excellent regardless of how many notes are playing at the same time. You can save an unlimited number of songs.

The current song is also saved automatically on exit. Sharing your musical creations couldn’t be simpler.

You simply press the Upload button and give your friend the song code. Your friend then downloads the song directly into TonePad by pressing the Download button and entering that code.

Use headphones for best sound.
