When did Processing get updated?

Posted by on in Tech

I only just realised! The new version seems to have a lot more, although not the ‘export signed package’ functionality as yet. Even so, It’s a big step, so that’s something else to spend some time with at the weekend. I might even get another sketch out.

Thingamagoop and the Monotrons

Posted by on in Music, Tech

That would be a good name for a band wouldn’t it? Anyway, I plugged my Thingamagoop 2 into my original Monotron aux and that into my new Monotron Delay. How much more fun can you have?

Anyway, I’ve recorded the noises and I’m going to do some manipulating with them, so you can expect the end result up on SoundCloud soon enough.

Cryptoclash

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?

Something for the weekend?

Posted by on in Making things, Tech

I bought this kit a while back and still haven’t done anything with it, but my plan is to change that this weekend. Hopefully I’ll have a bit of time to myself to get the soldering iron going without distraction.

That Tweakybeat screen

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music

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

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music

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.
