Pulse Code Inc brings their latest app to the store after updating a few of their existing stock. With this app, they want you to make beats wherever you are. Which is of course something I’m always in favor of, and, having a new ‘all-in-one’ tool for this is most welcome.

One thing that is slightly odd is that the app is compatible with Audiobus 2 and not 3. My guess is that this is just about timing and nothing more sinister than that, and will probably be rectified soon enough.

Here are the app details:
