App revisit: SID Player

I have to admit that I have really never used this app, except for perhaps once or twice when I first bought it. I thought it might be handy when I set up my music 3G, but it really isn’t, so it goes!

App revisit: Surface DJ

Another early iOS app that didn’t get maintained and just fell by the wayside. It was a shame really as it had potential and others have built on the concepts. It would have been great if it allowed you to bring your own samples in, but it was around before that functionality was available in iOS. Never mind, a nice use of the device in it’s day.

App revisit: IR-909

I was going to delete this little drum machine but decided to give it a quick play first, and I really liked it, so it stays on the music 3G for now, along with the other 300 odd music apps on there, which is almost certainly too many!

Noisemusick

This noise maker appealed to me because it looked so much like a mute synth. So I had to get it really, and it’s quite good fun though limited really. Perhaps I just need to give it a little more time.

Older RJDJ Scenes

I’m still a big fan of RJDJ. I always will be. When they first came around into the iOS scene (before it was iOS of course) they were one of the most, if not the most innovative creators of music making software. And, they still are.

But I continue to enjoy some of the things they did from day 1 as well though, and some of these older scenes are still brilliant for reacting to your environment.

App revisit: Audio pallette

I was on the verge of deleting this app but had a play first. I’m so glad I did. Whilst is isn’t going to be part of anyone’s toolbox for making tracks in any way, it is great to play about with. It’s a very nice idea for casual music making and so I’ll be keeping it I think.
