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.

Remembering Elizabeth Sladen today

She would have been 66 years old today. We remember a wonderful actress who made a huge contribution to British Science Fiction and was brilliant in Doctor Who and her own excellent series.

She is missed.

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.

Goodbye January

Seems odd that January is over already. It seemed to go very quick, and I’m not sure that I got nearly as much done in it as I had intended to. Still, I think on the whole it wasn’t too bad. February looks like it might be quite cold if the last few days are anything to go by. I wonder how 2012 will pan out.

One day at a time I guess.

Sylvian Tour cancelled

I tweeted this yesterday, but it is still really on my mind. What a massive shame. Of course, I hope he does get better soon, and I hope that the dates get re-scheduled, but that can be a logistical nightmare.

Still, there’s a new retrospective of his work coming out in Feb, so I’ll have to just wait for that and the one or two tracks on there that I don’t have already.
