Figure consists of three parts – drum machine, bass and synthesizers. The user-friendly interface makes it possible to write music right on the way to work (or to university/school). That’s exactly what Natorst-Bös wants – for everyone, regardless of their abilities and experience, to be able to record music as easily as they go through the next level in Cut the Rope. The design mistakes of ReBirth are taken into account, Figure was developed at once for the iPhone, to make the use of the app easier and to reduce the number of buttons and switches per square centimeter.
The Swedish company Propellerhead, for some time, created real (Swedish design) gadgets for musicians, and then released two applications. The first one in 2010 – ReBirth – copied Techno Micro Composer’s functionality inside iPad almost without any changes, just like Korg did with their cassimilator. The second turned out to be more interesting, as Propellerhead head Ernst Natorst-Bös noted in an interview with the Guardian: “We use email in different ways, sitting at the computer or poking at the phone. It’s still email, but it’s different on every single device. It’s the same [with musical instruments].”
