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.

IFTTT becomes IF and launches 3 new apps

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, TechLeave a comment

I’m always interested in seeing what IFTTT do. Now they’ve become IF, or at least their main app has become IF and the interface has changed too. If that wasn’t enough though they’ve launched another three apps as well. I’m not entirely sure that I get the idea behind these three new ‘Do’ apps. Perhaps I need to spend a bit more time with them though, to really get what they’re trying to achieve.

What I’d really like to see them do is …

  • Multiple accounts for a channel, so being able to use more than one twitter account
  • Set times for when a channel runs, so control the frequency, like running something twice a day or every 10 minutes
  • Support for chaining

Let’s see if they do anything like that.

Loving Barcodas and finding out about bar codes

I do like the idea of made from things that don’t normally make music. Hence I like barcodas. The idea of making little snippets of music from bar codes is very appealing. To me anyway. The interesting thing, at least, interesting to me anyway is that different types of bar codes seem to have very different properties. So for instance, using bar codes taken from books, these all sound the same, at least the first few notes do. Bar codes taken from cereal boxes are quite different.

So I had a little idea for a barcodas project that I think I’m going to try out soon.

This is an already excellent app. I seem to use it almost daily. Now in version 1.1 the developers have made it even better.

Here are a few of the things that have been added:

  • Duplicate workflows to make your own versions
  • Record Audio
  • Post to Tumblr
  • Add to Pocket
  • Add to Instapaper
  • Create Day One Entry
  • Make Video from GIF

Also they’ve said that more is coming soon, including syncing workflows between devices.

Looking back at my sounds: Vertigo

A track made on my iPhone 3G using iSequence, JR Hexatone Pro, Noise IO Pro, Star Guitar, Star Piano, Star Melody and Beatmaker to pull all the samples together.

It isn’t a very complex track, I was just experimenting with putting loops together from lots of different apps.
