sir Sampleton [iPhone, iPad]
This one’ll take you back, if you were someone who owned one of those Casio SK-1 toy keyboards where you press the disco drum pattern button à la Gary Numan. Artist Paul Slocum has created this nod to that golden era of cheap sounding synthesizers with a sampling app that lets you record and sample sounds, playing them back through the dual keyboard for a totally chic, lo-fi aesthetic.

Visualator [iPhone, iPad]
Computer Arts magazine has created their first app called Visualator, made by Matt Booth and Stewart Hamilton-Arrandale, which allows you to create abstract shapes using the touchscreen while unleashing your inner avant-garde artist. Express yourself through color, shape, and form with the two tools: Gradulate for pen-based drawing and Triangulate for geometric designs.
Photo Booth [iPhone]
Remember cramming all of your friends into a retro photo booth, frantically pulling different whacky poses between shots? Hilarious. But now times have changed, and some photo booths now boringly print the same photo for all four. What a rip-off. Well, now you can bring back those days of too much fun with this app that recreates those vintage photobooths.
