Cotracks, multi-user creation app on iPad

Futucraft launched on the AppStore its second app, called CoTracks, which allows multiple users to create music at the same time on one iPad.

Cotracks offers 12 instrument tracks and you can use the built-in instruments to create multiple loops or phrase layers, and export these loops as mixdown or raw audio clips. The originality of the app is that any user can record and play its part without interrupting or being interrupted by the other users.
