Another more experimental app that I like to mess around with, and was doing so over a coffee recently. I do love the strange agency’s work it is so interesting and creative. They always have excellent ideas.
Category: Mobile Applications
I’m a big fan of mobile applications. It started with the Palm OS and Windows Mobile, and has continued with iOS and Android. Who knows where mobile apps will go to next, it’s a journey, and an interesting one at that. If you’re looking for more on mobile apps then also check out the menu sections for pages on specific apps and things I’ve done with them.
Palm DOSBox
I found this from one of the very early posts on Palm Sounds and after a bit of searching around I found a PRC file for it (that’s a Palm OS executable file). So I’m going to give it a go and see what can be done with it. That’s if it works at all.
Isle of Tune comes to the iPhone
It was a bit of a surprise to see this go universal, but I’m pretty sure it was on the cards. Anyway, it’s great to have it on the iPhone at last, as now I can make some islands on the go at last.
MegaCurtis on the way
I’ve posted about the wonderful iOS tools from the Strange Agency before, so I was really pleased to see that they have another, or possibly an update on the way.
The refer to it as ‘MegaCurtis’, and it looks amazing, very much building on Curtis for the iPhone and the iPad version too. In some ways I’m hoping that it is a new app and not an update as I like the existing one and would almost just like to have a new one to compliment it, but irrespective I’m looking forward to it, for more strangeness and experimentation. Here we go.
Griff netMIDIplug
Getting acquainted with PixiTracker
More time spent with PixiTracker, what a great idea. I remember it the original running on Palm OS and Windows Mobile. With that you had to run it as a file in PixiLang, but that’s another story altogether.
Loopseque Mini
Really enjoyed playing around with this app yesterday. It has a great feel to it and I think that with some practice I might even get reasonable at making tracks with this app.
Some Loopseque Mini Sounds
Another little track, this time made in Loopseque Mini.
Let the experimentation with Griff begin
I had an idea the other day about how to use Griff studio in combination with other gear. I’ve no idea if it will work or be useful, but it’s worth trying out for fun if nothing else.
Returning to Xenon
Another app that I’ve long overlooked and I now plan to use some more. Xenon is a great groove box and can generate some really nice synthy sounds. In many ways it reminds me of Microbe on the Palm OS, but it is a different app in many ways.
I got back to this and get a little track up and running in just a few minutes yesterday and I’m looking forward to doing some more with it soon.
