Hello,

I've been in love with the ease of composing in ThumbJam app, I really like the fact that it would let me pick a scale and take it from there. I'm a bit of a newbie but was wondering if there's any similar app for computer.

Any tip?

Thanks a lot!

I'm interested to know as

Seems imitating Thumbjam on another platform would not be the best use of 'Jesse time'. The wheel should keep spinning, not being recreated. Anyway, if I am not wrong, special electro-stactic like sensitivity of the IPad/IPhone screen is very important to what makes it wonderful.

Imagine what a table with maybe 8 synced IPad Thumbjams and maybe a couple as foot pedels could produce with some substantial practice.

There is already tons of very good sounding VSTs and AUs multisample instruments available for DAWs.

What would TJ do better than those?

I've been looking around and haven't found a VST doing what TJ does,
can you be more specific?

edit: in this case, I'm not interested in the instruments, I know there are a lot of other ways to find instruments in a DAW.
It's more about scales, for exemple you've got a scale plugins in Live, but far to be as good as TJ,
also you can't use a pad to create solos...

Ok, so you're looking for a

Ok, so you're looking for a Scale VST/AU plug-in... And then you'll play with, whatever controller you have.

something like 7Aliens W2 Harmonizer.
