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.

Early tests of StyleTap on 3G

Posted by on in Tech

After I’d gone through the somewhat laborious process of getting apps on the StyleTap emulator I finally got to fire up SoundPad from miniMusic. Now the notes on StyleTap say quite clearly that apps that access native hardware for sound will not work, so my hopes for music applications running inside StyleTap weren’t high. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that both SoundPad (above), and NotePad worked fine and were, at least initially, usable.

The other thing that I was reminded of on the Palm OS was that you have to have your user name set up correctly or registration codes won’t work, which is very annoying. However, what is more annoying is that StyleTap will only allow you to change the user name once in every 24 hours.

I’ve still got 10 days of my trial left, and if I can get this to be a reasonable device to work with for Palm OS apps then I might even buy the licence.

Testing StyleTap on the 3G again

Posted by on in Tech

It was around this time last year that I was experimenting with running various things on my iPhone 3G. Mainly I was trying out Android from the iDroid project, and I’ve been doing that again, but I’m also having a go with StyleTap the Palm OS emulator for jailbroken iPhones. Whilst I’m not holding out too much hope for it to be useful for any old music apps on the Palm, it may have some use elsewhere in the Palm OS universe.

Anyway, I don’t have long to see if it’s useful as I’ve only got 10 days left of the trial period to go before I have to get a licence.

This would be cool, if …

I could get the server app to work where I want it. At the moment it won’t run on the machine I want to run it on, otherwise everything would be just wonderful!

Playing around with Dashcode

Posted by on in Admin, Tech

I’ve been messing around with Dashcode for a few days, and I have a few ideas and plans of things I might make, so you may see a few things crop up over the coming weeks which will add a little bit more fun to the site.

Mucking around with Game Salad

I’ve been playing in GameSalad which lets you use it’s interface to make HTML5 games or any other kind of application for that matter. I made this drum ‘thing’ and thought I’d show it off. It isn’t finished, and I don’t know if I will finish it for that matter, but it is kind of fun to muck about with.

Trouble with Android Processing

Posted by on in Mobile ApplicationsLeave a comment

Over the weekend I’ve been trying to get my installation of Processing for Android up to date to start getting a few things built. Sounds simple enough right? Wrong! It has been taking me ages to get this stuff to work. I’ve no idea why either.

I was hoping to actually get things working on Saturday so I could spend some time trying out some ideas on Sunday.  No chance though.

Moving forward: Back and Forth

Posted by on in Creative ProcessLeave a comment

I got to spend some time with my latest music project yesterday. I’ve been experimenting with processing audio through Jasuto which has had some interesting results.

As I said before, I think that the creative process in making these soundscapes may end up being more satisfying that the actual finished product, but at the moment I’m not worrying too much about that. I think I’ll enjoy the process for now and see where I end up with in a couple of months.

Palm Apps from the past …

Posted by on in Mobile ApplicationsLeave a comment

If you’ve been reading my PalmSounds blog for a long time you’ll know that in the past I’ve dabbled with making my own Palm OS apps with a little bit of success. The apps I made were never going to be totally amazing music production apps, but they were free toys and a little bit of fun to play around with.

Anyway, I’ve moved them all here now and you can get them in the ‘PDA Obsessions‘ page.

I do plan to do some more apps using old Palm OS and some other mobile OS stuff too, most notably Android, but more of that in another post.

For now I hope you like the old Palm stuff. Give me some feedback if you do.
