After a long time I gave Gliss a go this morning, and it was even better than I remember! What a great app for drawing your sound. I’m certain to spend a bit more time with this app now.

A spectrum analyser running in the emulator
I really couldn’t believe that this Palm app worked under StyleTap, but it did, albeit a little slowly.
Remember SynthPond?
SynthPond was one of the first iOS music making apps and the concept still is very intriguing and interesting to play with.
I would have liked a way to record with this app and more controls over the sounds, especially filter and envelope controls. But, sadly, these were never forthcoming. Still, even without those it is still a great concept.
Concretedog’s album: The Coracle and the Yellow Shell
I’ve continued to listen to this album today, and I’m just amazed by the textures and chord sequences in this album. It is so gentle and subtle. I was also impressed by the very sparing use of electronics and how they were so well blended with the acoustic instruments.
New Who!
Finally got the next episode of the new season of 4th Doctor stories. Looking forward to listening to this soon.
Wading through ZX Spectrum Music Apps
I’ve been trawling through these to see if I can find any that are actually useful or workable on my jailbreak 3G. So far they are all just a bit of a novelty and not too much more.
And so to collaboration …
Next on the list is a collaboration with the awesome Concretedog. I’m really looking forward to collaborating with him.StyleTap does not like PixiLang and Sunvox
I wanted to try to get PixiLang and Sunvox working under StyleTap on my jailbroken 3G, but as you can see from these screen shots, StyleTap was not happy about them at all. Of course, I can run Sunvox native on the iPhone, but not not PixiLang, which is a shame.
Openprocessing as a source of inspiration and learning
I’ve been lurking around openprocessing of late, using it to find useful processing code to serve as a starting point for some of my own experiments. If you don’t know openprocessing, it’s a great place for inspiration and to see what other people have made using processing. You can find it here.
Java on StyleTap on 3G
Another small step forward is getting Java working on the StyleTap Palm OS emulator running on a jailbroken iPhone 3G. It should be said that it isn’t particularly useful although it is an interesting thing to do just to see if it works.
