Well, the weather outside is frightful in many parts of the country this week, but we’ve got a selection of paid apps gone free that could rightly be described as delightful. And if you happened to miss yesterday’s list, some of them might still be free, but you’re going to have to act fast if you want to grab them.

These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

Hexaphone

hexaphone

Normally $2.99.

Hexaphone is a musical keyboard for iOS designed for real-time performance and improvisation. It provides a simplified musical scale, background drum loops, a unique Motion Filter, song recording and sharing, and audio export via AudioCopy or WAV file.

Hexaphone was created to give musicians a flexible tool that’s small enough to fit in your pocket, but powerful enough to deliver big, expressive musical performances.

Most iPhone instruments are hindered by the small screen size. The keys are too small, which means it’s easy to play a wrong note. Hexaphone embraces the small screen size, solving the space problem by providing a simplified, six-note keyboard. The six notes are selected based on the type of music you want to play. The “wrong notes” are removed from the screen entirely, freeing up room for bigger keys across more octaves.

Choose a six-note scale based on the type of music you want to play (Blues, Dance, Trance, and many more), fire up a beat, and off you go!

Using samples from a Nord Lead 3, Hexaphone produces a wide range of sounds, including funky 70’s tones, overdriven synth sounds, and modern pads.

Hexaphone’s one-of-a-kind Motion Filter is a 24db resonant lowpass filter that you control by tilting the device – producing an effect similar to a wah-wah pedal.

Hexaphone allows you to record your melodies, synchronized to the beat. You can lay down a quick bassline, record it, and then play along with it as you add a melody, chords, etc.

Play along with 16+ included drum loops – or play your iPod in the background. (Double-tap home button for iPod Controls)

Hexaphone allows you to share your recordings with other users via small data files, or export WAV audio via AudioCopy or iTunes Document Sharing.
