Mobile app developer John Vella unveiled a new version of its SongCatcher app, touting it as the “first fully functional recording studio environment on the iPhone platform designed around capturing creativity at the moment of inspiration.” We say it’s an updated version and we’re sorry we missed it once it was originally announced (cause it sounds interesting).
Anyway, the application is made to cover functionality of comprehensive midi devices and features both Audio and MIDI recording, making it the “ultimate solution” for the songwriters who are looking for a sketchpad.
You can choose between two modes, one tailored specifically for professional musicians (Project mode), and the other one for enthusiastic amateurs (Simple mode). There are 10 layers of recording (5 for audio and 5 for MIDI), resizable Piano Keyboard to play instruments (including Piano, Electric Piano, Drums, Bass, Guitar, Distorted Guitar, Synth, Organ, Strings and Horns), MIDI editor, mixing functionality, tempo track, ability to convert audio to MIDI, export MIDIs and so on…
You can get additional information, screenshots included, from SongCatcher’s iTunes page. But before you leave our site, make sure to check out a short video below demoing the app in action.

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
