Since iELECTRIBE is based on a full-fledged professional piece of equipment, this app is designed for intermediate musicians and above, but I don't see why any beginner couldn't get the hang of it with some practice.

Using the 16-step keys in the step sequencer, you can arrange a beat or groove, and then switch memory banks and layer another pattern on top of that, and so on.

If your creativity needs a little boost, you can use 64 preset patterns from various genres of music, including: techno, house, electro, trance, drum 'n' bass, dubstep, hip-hop, and R&B. You can also program your own presets.

You have a number of effects to choose from, including Short Delay, BPM Sync Delay, Grain Shifter, Reverb, Chorus/Flanger, Filter, Talking Modulator, and "Decimator." This makes up the essential backbone of effects that you need to springboard into some really unique sounds.

Let's not forget about the oscillator, which lets you morph the sound waves and create some really interesting (or annoying) sounds. It's essential for producing electronic music.
