I love the new (well not very new) mixdown options in Mixtikl.
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.
iDroid Loading
I just like the way iDroid loads. It looks like my old 3G is a real computer.
Bhajis on the 3G
Installed. No problem! Great to have it back.
There’s a Microbe in my 3G
Now I’ve got the excellent Microbe running under StyleTap on my old iPhone 3G. Of course, the original version of Microbe was built to run on a much less powerful device, so in theory it should do quite well. Next I need to get the big one up and running.
Bhajis Loops.
Buddha Machine
Buddha Machine running on my old 3G.
GuitarJack and iShred LIVE!
I do like iShred LIVE! And the other day I got it working with GuitarJack 2. I like iShred LIVE! because some of the effects in it are quite unusual and aren’t what you find in other effects simulations.
The upshot is I’ve ended up buying loads of in-app purchase units on apps all over the place. I’m sure it’ll be worth it though.
Sound Design in Mixtikl
To say that Mixtikl is a music app with a great deal of depth would be a massive understatement. Most recently I’ve been getting into the sound design capabilities of Mixtikl. You’d think that this might be difficult on an iPhone. But it isn’t. In fact, once you’ve got the hang of it, the sound design screens are actually quite easy to work with.
What you can achieve with Mixtikl is actually amazing, and the more I do with it, the more I realise that it can do.
And more Jasuto
I just love playing with stuff in Jasuto Pro. It’s so good for experimenting with ideas. Even when they just don’t work at all.
My latest idea for Jasuto was a total failure. Which was great as it made me think of something else which was quite interesting to toy with.
Revisiting Oramics
Oramics is still one of those music apps that I find myself returning to regularly. Just for the making of strange noises and thinking about the pioneering days of electronic music.
Working on the Tabletop
The Retronyms pulled out an amazing app when they introduced Tabletop last year. It isn’t like any other modular environment on the iPad, but so far I haven’t had much, if any, chance to do anything with the newer modules.
So my plan is to get that sorted out very soon.
