Description

Ninja Tune Creator's Instrument now for iPhones as well as iPad. World's most advanced jamming app.

Jamm Pro is the anticipated evolution of Ninja Jamm, the original touch controlled beat app.

Aphex Twin: "Sick"

Easy to use but deep, Jamm Pro includes Ninja Jamm users most requested feature: the ability to load your own samples. As well as immense performance power, it’s packed with pro features and new ideas e.g. its modular synth-like patching capabilities.

Jamm is a unique instrument. Loaded with free content and killer presets, you'll be amazing yourself with the music you create from the moment you press Play.

KEY FEATURES

- Load your own samples via iOS Files app, AirDrop and Cloud storage.

- Record in via Mic, Soundcard, Inter App Audio. Audiobus/AUM are supported, giving you access to the extensive range of iOS IAA apps like drum machines and synths to work with Jamm.

-Multitrack Stem recording: Transforms Jamm Pro into a production tool: recordings are saved with all channels individually recorded. You can then load these into an editor/DAW such as Ableton, Logic or Pro Tools to work on further.

-Multi-touch tip control: Use small finger movements to simultaneously and expressively control multiple FX at once.

Individual per channel FX: 5 Distortion/Crush units, 5 Filters, 5 Delays, 5 Reverbs, 5 Sidechains. All with full recallable control.

64 Total Recall Patches: instantly Store and Recall the total state of what you’re doing with 64 Patch memories.

-In-app help: Access help overlay screens from wherever you are to explain all the page’s functions… no need to stop to read and dig into the manual!

-Coldcutter module: Buffer shuffle and modulation matrix for sophisticated beat manipulation. Users can trigger automatic call and response between channels, algorithmic evolutions of samples and modular synth-like patchable modulation sequencers.

-Sub-bass module: Automatically generate super heavy bass kicks and basslines from drum samples — a feature dril fans will adore.

-Action Sequencer: Record and playback your touch gestures, build up complex sequences, very powerful.

-MIDI input: MIDI Learn allows easy connection of MIDI hardware to trigger and control Jamm Pro.

-Slice sequencer: Unique and highly interactive feature allowing users to simply draw on the screen to restructure any sample.

-Smart pitch bends: Change the pitch of any or all of the channels in real-time to inspire musically apt progressions.

*Please note Jamm Pro is a very powerful app and will perform best on newer devices. The iPad Pro is the ideal device for the best experience with Jamm Pro.

THE STORY
For Ninja Tune co-founders Coldcut, known for their innovations in DJing, Remixing, Production and Live Performance, Jamm Pro has been 25 years in the making. Coldcut have been honing it in their live show and recently creating music with it.

Designed by Coldcut’s Matt Black with the aim of creating their ultimate electronic music instrument. As users experiment and develop ideas, they can save them as their own patches, which can be used to quickly build up stages of a song, structure a live performance, or used as a sketchpad.

The app features exceptional and extensive modulation and patching capabilities, the likes of which have never been seen in a sample app before. Equipped with four main channels, each with nine sequencers — six modulation sequencers, a slice sequencer, a pitch/reverse/drill sequencer and a gate sequencer — and up to 64 patches per set, Jamm Pro allows for a possible 2,304 sequencers per Sound Set in the app.

As well as production, Jamm Pro has been designed as an instrument for playing live sound, drawing on hiphop DJing and timing. With expressive touch control, the app facilitates direct engagement of hand-eye-ear coordination through ‘tip control’. This innovative feature tracks small finger movements that can be used to sensitively control various effects.

And yes Ableton Link is included!

Where do you want to go today?

Really enjoying using JammPro so far. It took a bit of convincing to start off with because I don’t own any Apple products. However once I got started it was a breeze. It isn’t designed to replace a DAW but perhaps compliment it. You can choose how involved you want to get involved. So far I have downloaded a couple of packs to jam with but I’m looking at doing more music production with it in the future. To be able to utilise an app like this is a big selling feature I think. Not everybody will want to do full blown sampling/editing but if it’s your bag this app has you covered. I’m still learning the more technical functions at the moment but I’m really enjoying jamming live and using all the live effects built in. I have Asperger/ADHD and what has really slowed my work rate down is having a plethora of hardware in front of me and with having an executive dysfunction it can be hard to get going on a project. Narrowing it down to this app I find I don’t have so many distractions and can focus better. It is also quite addictive. Even if you just have 15 minutes to spare and you want to just chill with a jam pack sitting on the bus it’s brilliant. Looking forwards to learning and getting more from this in the future. Highly recommended. Also worth checking out is NinjaJamm (I tried that before getting JammPro - a great introduction if you want to dip your toes).

The interface that was always absent with playing & making “electronic” music

Immersing fun to play with & a powerful emulator/controller that gives an extensive way to manipulate & play rhythmical patterns of sounds, instruments, or stems & elements you’ve made in a way that daws & turntables/djay software struggle with as being designed to be controlled by mouse or midi controllers is limiting to where you can set up kit like that etc, either as music editor or as a live performance device it seems already set up to make & perform music on the move & has the advantage of live performance style modulation of elements in real time as a standalone instrument as they unfortunately never made a tb303 etc that was portable & could be held as an instrument, probably genuinely only limited by your imagination, creativity & lifes time constraints, looking forward to seeing what I can do with it

Developer Response ,

We're very appreciative of your positive review and the generous comparisons made to amazing and renowned hardware . Have fun and feel free to tag us on social media with your projects #MadeOnJammPro to be considered for our JammerOfTheWeek.

My favourite!

It’s easy to overlook an app and realise it’s true potential. This is a great example of doing so. It’s one of the few iPad music making apps that actually takes into account the iPad itself. It hands on fun! Initially I found it confusing but after I got stuck in I discovered how truly brilliant it is. Personally I don’t get on with traditional DAWS, particularly on the iPad, largely due to the fact that I have very little technical ability. What I lack in that department I like to think I make up for in a general knowing what sounds good kind of way. This app is perfect for that. Play with sound and put it in order. I get the feeling it’s something that could be mastered like an instrument. The bottom line: It’s great fun making music!
