I hadn’t used this little app since the update that allowed recording, so I decided to record a little random tweakybeatness for no real reason.
Tag: Apps
Everything is about apps at the moment. A lot of what I mention under the apps tag is around iOS and mobile music, but there’s other stuff too, and not just iOS, but Android, Palm OS and Windows mobile.
Another Palm OS app that I never finished: SliderOn
This app never really worked as intended. I should’ve finished it off really, but I didn’t and I’m not sure that it will get finished now. We’ll see.
I think there was also a video I made of this ages ago, I’ll see if I can find it and share it.
Finding old Palm OS apps I’d started to make
In reviving the Tungsten C I discovered an SD card that I must have forgotten about. It had a load of test builds of Palm OS apps that I started years ago and never finished, but it’s interesting to go back and look at them. A few are even partially functional too.
What I love to see is the icons I made for them. My favourite being tDrum2, sQeeQ, and SliderOn in the picture above. Of these only one actually works, but I’ll take more pictures of the apps and show you what I mean. More soon.
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.
GuitarJack and some experimentation
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now although I’d wanted to use my iPad 2, but it seems now that it won’t be usable as an input device for some reason. Anyway, I used the GuitarJack in my iPhone 4 and it works very well. Using it with GuitarTone is good too, which I wasn’t expecting as what I wanted to achieve was a non-guitar like sound. I got close enough.
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.
Starting Basic 4 PPC
I’ve started messing about with Basic4PPC again. I know that Windows Mobile is totally dead now, but I like to mess about with stuff like this to see what I can make it do, and it is quite good fun too!
Pixilang Example files
The new version of Pixilang is already looking pretty amazing. I tried out a few of the examples last night and they were very promising. So I guess I might try my hand at some Pixilang soon!
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.
