Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Kraftwerk

I thought there was a Kraftwerk page, but I can't find it. Anyhow - news; Kraftwerk have created an app!

And what glowing reviews it has!

Heh! Yeah there's a fair bit of moaning.

It's a steep price for an app; £5.49! But I confess, I'm having fun with it. I'm not entirely sure what the world band thing does. But the Tenori-on grid sequencer is addictive and there's a KAOSS pad type thing too. The sounds I'm generating are like very early Kraftwerk; Ralf und Florian era.

I can now turn bus and tube journeys into full on improv ambient krautrock headtrips. I love technology

Next time you're due up here, I expect to see you in red shirt and black tie with hair coiffed and parted with robotic precision.

Heh! I may do - or I may turn up like early Kraftwerk...which looks suspiciously like Jarvis Cocker...or The IT Crowd...

Heh! And you'll be known as Gazwerk from thereon.

And look at Florian, looking just like our Peter. Next time the two of you are together..

hahahaha! The Troxy!

Clockwise from top left: intro screen / world-band thingy / Tenori-on style grid sequencer thingy / credits / mixing desk controls etc / KAOSS Pad thingy

Ah! The time-zone thingy! Each band is a different sound to play with. So, you run your finger through the time-zone bands find a sound you like, and then you create using the pad and sequencer. Fun! Fun! Fun! On the Autobahn!

Maybe they're making their new album using this app!
