This will appease the artist and the musician at the same time. When I downloaded it, I spent an hour playing. That is how addictive Doodle DJ is.
You have a a 16 square by 16 square grid, in which you can draw on. As you draw, the boxes highlight. You can change the look of the screen to stars and drawn boxes, to give it a more artistic feel.
When you are done, hit the “Play” button. Your art will then create sound.
The grid is aligned to a Bm11 chord – Lowest line plays an A, next is B, then D, E and F#. The progression repeats 3 times, with an “A” on the top. There is no way to change the tone lines, which might be a good enhancement for a future release.
The polyphony seems to be 16 – so you can highlight a whole row and get the hodge-podge of sound.
Best part – see what I did when I drew my name. Better yet, see what happened when I drew “iPad365”.
Doodle DJ is put out by LemonDoo.You can also get the app for iPhone. It comes with a 5 star rating.
