someone who's doing some things
I really do like tweakybeat, and one of the reasons that isn’t obvious is that it is really straightforward and simple to use. The interface is completely no nonsense.
If you don’t know it, then you should.
I wish I could build a drum machine like this.
Another work in progress piece. I find it interesting that different music apps make you work in different ways and inspire different musical styles. I really should try doing something radically different with Nanoloop. Perhaps with the next track.
This was originally called their ‘seed’ platform but they had to change the name. I first saw it via CDM I think, or perhaps Hypebot, so it’s great to see it getting some traction now. I’ll probably throw in a few $ myself too.
I hadn’t used this little app since the update that allowed recording, so I decided to record a little random tweakybeatness for no real reason.
Which is great news of course. I’m still really looking forward to getting mine and trying it out. I hope it won’t be too much longer to wait.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then you can find out what Romo is about here.
My Monotron collection so far. I do really like the new Monotron Delay, and I hope to have a Duo as well in the not too distant future.
What I’m really looking forward to is being able to hook them together with some other mobile bits and see where we go from there.
Don’t get too excited, this isn’t going going to be some amazing new Palm OS music app any time soon, and quite possibly not ever in fact. At the moment it is just some experimentation on my part and that’s about all.
Having said that, I’ve managed to get a few little things working in it, like a menu bar, and a little keyboard thing going. I will tinker with it some more as and when I have new ideas, and I’ll post up the results here too.
I keep thinking about getting set up a Spotify account for myself, but something puts me off. I’m not quite sure what it is, but I just can’t get to it as yet.
Is it worth it though? £10 a month. Will I use it? I am intrigued to use SPAPPS on the spotify platform, but who knows if that’ll be enough.
This app reminded me a lot of Bebot, but with a more, ‘dog’ feel to it I guess. Fun to play around with, and free.
The people over at Music 4.5 are lovely. When I first spoke to Rassami about a mobile music conference last year I was just amazed to think that someone would be interested in that kind of thing, but now, less that twelve months on, it doesn’t seem so strange.
I’m looking forward to the event on the 8th. The panel of speakers looks really good (yep, I’m on it too), and I think there’ll be a broad spectrum of issues raised to cover the mobile music world and where it has got to.
If you’re interested in reading my piece over at Music 4.5’s blog, you can find it here.
