As this is a Nic Collins app I thought I’d give it a go, but so far I’m not sure it lives up to his previous creations, which have been excellent and truly innovative.
Perhaps I just need to give it a bit more time?
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.
Experimentation with CP1919
More sound experimentation.
More NodeBeat messing
That Tweakybeat screen
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.
Nanoloop work in progress
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.
Some tweakybeat
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.
2 x Monotrons
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.
More work on beepLAB
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.
Pug Synth
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.
My guest post at Music 4.5
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.
