Category: Music
Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.
Playing with Nodebeat
I haven’t played with Nodebeat for ages now, and I don’t think I’d used any of the latest features, so today I put that right, and I’m very pleased that I did too.
Nodebeat is an excellent music making app and has come a very long way since the first release. I used both the create and listen modes, and both are well worth a try out.
Sequencing Jasuto
Getting Jasuto to do interesting things is actually not that difficult at all. As a music app for experimenting with ideas it is brilliant. The more I use it, the more I find more ways to use it.
I do hope that there is a new version on the way with scripting and more. It hasn’t been updated for a long time now.
Generative Music from using Mixtikl
The recording isn’t wonderful as it just ends abruptly, but it gives some idea of where I’m going with this track hopefully.
Mixing down with Mixtikl
I love the new (well not very new) mixdown options in Mixtikl.
Bhajis on the 3G
Installed. No problem! Great to have it back.
Where are the monotrons?
I’ve been waiting ages for the two new monotrons to arrive, but so far nothing, at least nothing at a reasonable price anyway. A few retailers have them on at £100, but I’m not willing to pay that much for them. I’m aiming to pay around £50 each for them.
Of course the big problem with these is that I wonder if I’ll get them and then never use them, or hardly ever use them and it’ll just be a waste of cash. I rarely use my original monotron now, so maybe I should get that out and give it a go again before I spend out on two new ones?
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.

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.
