Against the Grain Media have enlisted the promotional help of DJ Krafty Kuts to launch their sampler tool application for the iPhone! This sound effects tool which comes pre-loaded with over 100 samples including MC shouts, classic dub sirens, bass drops, rises and many more useful noises to spice up your set.
“I wanted to produce a sampler style app which could actually be used by DJs in clubs or on the radio” says Krafty Kuts, pointing out that this is the first iPhone App of its kind suitable for professional use. Having the ability to drop samples like ‘Make Some Noise In Here!’ along with big ‘woosh’ and ‘lazer’ noises over my mixes, without the need for a laptop or third turntable is amazing!”
The app is priced at £2.99, which I’d say is reasonable – if it replaces the need to have another sampler source in your DJ setup, then it’s a steal! Looking at the UI, it’s in the same style as you’d find on sampler hardware, with nice big trigger pads on screen. If I can get a review copy of the App, I’ll give it a go and let you know just how good the App is!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
