someone who's doing some things
The more I get into Jasuto, the more ideas I have for using it. That’s not to say that it is perfect of course, there are always areas that could be improved, but you can say that with any software.
Jasuto is perfectly useful as it is, but it would be great to see it updated sometime soon.
Buddha Machine has added a few nice features which prompted me to try it out again. It’s a strange music making app, but I do find myself warming to it though. It’s also interesting to work with the app against the actual hardware version.
I bought the best of Fad Gadget this week. I knew some tracks but not most. It was a great listen. I’ve really enjoyed it. There’s some great songs, and excellent lyrics. Well worth a listen in my book.
Since I stopped writing Palm Sounds I’ve had a lot more time to spend on actually making music, and making the kind of music I’m interested in making rather than just testing music apps.
I was playing with MoDrum the other day and remembered just how much I enjoyed this drum machine and how versatile it is.
As you can see the cracks in my iPad are pretty nasty. So far the screen protector is holding it all together.
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now although I’d wanted to use my iPad 2, but it seems now that it won’t be usable as an input device for some reason. Anyway, I used the GuitarJack in my iPhone 4 and it works very well. Using it with GuitarTone is good too, which I wasn’t expecting as what I wanted to achieve was a non-guitar like sound. I got close enough.
As it’s the weekend I decided that it would a good time to listen to the next installment of the 8th Doctor’s stories, “The Creed of the Kromon”, in the hope that it’s better than the last story. We shall see.
After episode 1 it is better. A more dynamic and coherent story anyway.
Another great music app for creating stuff on the go. I’ve been a Chordbot user for a long time and love the versatility of the app. It’s great for making sequences to work on afterwards using MIDI.
DopplerPad used to be one of the most used apps on my iPhone, but I haven’t used it for a while now. I started it up again today, and it is still a useful musical tool. I quite liked the way it’s workflow runs, and I like it, it fits for me.
I hope that one day the Retronyms will update it, but until then I think I might use it a bit more from now on.
It isn’t pretty, but at least it can be used again. I put a screen protector sheet over the smashed screen so that I can now move my finger over it without cutting it to shreds. It is functional, but not very nice to look at.
Roll on iPad 3 I say!
