someone who's doing some things
I like to think I do an occasional creative thing. This is what’s in this tag.
DopplerPad used to be one of the most used apps on my iPhone, but I haven’t used it for a while now. I started it up again today, and it is still a useful musical tool. I quite liked the way it’s workflow runs, and I like it, it fits for me.
I hope that one day the Retronyms will update it, but until then I think I might use it a bit more from now on.
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!
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.
I haven’t used Pixilang for a long time and so it’s great to see a new version and one with some really interesting new features like:
Of course, or most interest is the functions for sound synthesis and recording and the MIDI in/out as well. Sadly it seems that there’s no Palm OS version though, so I’ll be using it on Windows Mobile.
I had forgotten all about this book and found it this morning so it was my companion on the train this morning, and there’s good stuff on using text in there, so hopefully I’ll get a scene done in a few days.
Aurora Sound Studio has been around for a while. First on Windows Mobile and now on iOS. It’s a great music making app, and one that I’ve too long overlooked. So I went back to it this morning, albeit briefly, and was surprised to find some nice stuff in there that I must have made ages ago.
It’s always nice to get a little surprise like that and remember (or not remember) tracks partially made and sitting around just waiting for you to rediscover them.
I was playing with Grid Music this morning and what a great app it is. I’ll put up a little track I made soon.
I meant to say that that processing sketch also works really well on my Android phone under 2.2. Nice to be able to run this stuff on Android too.
I’m really getting into Mixtikl now, and the new visualiser in the latest version is good too, although I haven’t got the hang of the words as yet.
Well I took the plunge and bought StyleTap for my 3G. I think it works pretty well so far, although I think I’d rather have StyleTap for Android at the moment, but never mind.
Getting AxisPad running on it was great. AxisPad was one of the last Palm OS music apps to appear, and I still really like it. I think I have all the miniMusic apps running on the 3G now, which is good. I still couldn’t get Bhajis on there, but perhaps I’ll have more luck next time I try.
