WerkBench ist back with a big update. This app is already a bit older but was one of the first innovative and performance-oriented apps for iOS. WerkBench is combines an excellent live sampler with a sequencer engine where you can sequence any recorded sounds from the microphone per example. This allows you to create in seconds very interesting sequences with any kind of sounds. An excellent app for live performances.
The new update brings iOS 11 compatibility (64 bit), AudioBus 3 and several new effects. On top, the developers enhance the graphics of the app and adds very cool new step automations to the app. If you love live sampling and sequencing than check out this great app.
