I’ve been trawling through these to see if I can find any that are actually useful or workable on my jailbreak 3G. So far they are all just a bit of a novelty and not too much more.
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.
StyleTap does not like PixiLang and Sunvox
I wanted to try to get PixiLang and Sunvox working under StyleTap on my jailbroken 3G, but as you can see from these screen shots, StyleTap was not happy about them at all. Of course, I can run Sunvox native on the iPhone, but not not PixiLang, which is a shame.
Java on StyleTap on 3G
Another small step forward is getting Java working on the StyleTap Palm OS emulator running on a jailbroken iPhone 3G. It should be said that it isn’t particularly useful although it is an interesting thing to do just to see if it works.
SpectrumGen sounds in the Forbidden Planet-esque zone
Pixelwave and SpectrumGen
After PixiTracker I started to play with Alex’s PixelWave and SpectrumGen, which are great for making sounds like the music from the Forbidden Planet, and why wouldn’t you want to do that?
Recording with Curtis
Curtis is a great music making app for getting sounds going granular. I was using it at the station the other day and enjoying the sounds from announcers.
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.
Playing with PixiTracker
What a great app from Alex the maker of the awesome Sunvox. It was another one of those “I didn’t have much time to use this” apps. But it is great to play with, and I especially like the TV view.
Trying out the Processing app for Android
Having started to play with Processing on iOS, albeit with lots of limitations, I thought I’d see if there was a similar app for Android. There is. However, the Android processing app didn’t seem to be as smooth an experience as the iOS version.
Having said that, my Android device is much slower than my iPhone, so I might be doing the app an disservice. Even so, when I’ve put sketches on the same device from Processing on the desktop it performs very well indeed. Anyway, the long and the short of it is that I gave up on that app fairly quickly.
More NodeBeat
Spending more time with NodeBeat. What a great music making application. Just thought I’d post a couple of screen shots.
