iZotope’s beat-making iDrum hits Apple App Store

iZotope, which is known for its tools for musicians and audio professionals, recently announced that its beat-making app iDrum is available for the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone and iPod Touch. The new application makes beat-making available to everyone with its simple interface and professionally produced content.

iDrum allows users to combine professional sound content and patterns to create their own music. The iDrum application takes advantage of unique features of the iPhone platform — users can tap virtual pads to create rhythms, shake the handset to clear patterns, and use slide and flick gestures to navigate the application’s interface. Immersive, colorful visuals show the relationship between different sounds in the beat, allowing users to create new rhythms by creating visual patterns. Using a special companion application, beats can even be turned into ringtones for iPhone.

iDrum combines iPhone-like easy to use user interface with the power and professional sound of the original iDrum to “let even users with no musical experience create original beats.”

At the moment, two version of iDrum are available from AppStore - Hip Hop and Club Edition, and each one of them costs $4.99. iZotope plans to release different genre-based editions of iDrum in the coming months…
