Another great music app for creating stuff on the go. I’ve been a Chordbot user for a long time and love the versatility of the app. It’s great for making sequences to work on afterwards using MIDI.
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.
Back to DopplerPad
DopplerPad used to be one of the most used apps on my iPhone, but I haven’t used it for a while now. I started it up again today, and it is still a useful musical tool. I quite liked the way it’s workflow runs, and I like it, it fits for me.
I hope that one day the Retronyms will update it, but until then I think I might use it a bit more from now on.
My Music Home Screen
As for as iOS goes it is amazing for music making apps. That’s a given. So I thought I’d share my music home screen.
The 21st of April is Record Store Day!
So says the ever wonderful Modern DJ, so it’s worth putting the date in your diary if that’s your sort of thing anyway.
And some Jasuto Pro too
I started on some new stuff in Jasuto Pro today, taking a sample made up in RealBeat and using it as a basis for a scene or patch or whatever it’s called in Jasuto. I do love the app, it has so many possibilities.
More Mixtikl
More messing around with Mixtikl again, and tweeting the odd mix too. Interesting to get back into this app and start to do a few things that are a little more complex. It’s the kind of music app that satisfies on all levels. You can generate something immediate using the random function, or spend as much time as you like to create something completely unique.
This morning’s Music App (part 1)
Aurora Sound Studio has been around for a while. First on Windows Mobile and now on iOS. It’s a great music making app, and one that I’ve too long overlooked. So I went back to it this morning, albeit briefly, and was surprised to find some nice stuff in there that I must have made ages ago.
It’s always nice to get a little surprise like that and remember (or not remember) tracks partially made and sitting around just waiting for you to rediscover them.
Making stuff with Grid Music
I was playing with Grid Music this morning and what a great app it is. I’ll put up a little track I made soon.
Danse Society, KTP and Obscurity
I was listening to the Danse Society today. Their greatest hits or something like that. I only bought the CD for 1 track which I really liked and was unable to find anywhere as a single track download.
This got me thinking about other obscure music I’ve been hunting of late. I recently got back into Kissing the Pink, who’s later albums are very hard to get hold of except on vinyl, and whilst I do like vinyl I don’t find it practical on a day to day basis.
Every time I hunt down something obscure that I’ve remembered and decide that I really must get again I think that this will be the last bit of obscurity I need to locate, but in fact it turns out that it reminds me of another 2 or 3 tracks or albums that I’d love to hear again that don’t seem to be available anywhere on this planet.
I’m sure I’m not the only one though, and I guess it keeps things interesting.
Sorry if this doesn’t make sense, it is late and I think I’m rambling. I’ll stop now.
