Wired: Gadget Lab —
We've been big fans of musical instrument apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and the above video is a great example of how they can all come together to play some catchy jams. The apps used include Ocarina, Retro Synth, miniSynth and DigiDrummer Lite — all available through the App Store. I love that MGMT song, by the way.
