4. Sir Sampleton

A musical instrument app that's simple enough for children, but with enough features to also be useful to musicians and producers.

sir Sampleton is a sampling keyboard, which means it can record sounds through the microphone that you can then play on a keyboard. You can sample and then make music with your voice, noisy objects you find around the house, or almost anything that makes a sound.

sir Sampleton is inspired by sampling Casio and Yamaha toy keyboards of the 80's. These classic keyboards were great toys, but are now expensive because they are sought after by professional musicians for their warm, low-fi sound and simple operation. Now, it's possible to have similar sound and functionality in an app, plus the features that you wish the old keyboards had, like the ability to save samples.

5. SoundHound
