I couldn’t get enough of ALEX4 booth

It was pretty amazing to be at Musikmesse this year. There was just so much to see, and there’s so many pictures to share too. This is just a little start really.

Loving messing about with littleBits Korg Synth kit

To the extent that I’ve been wondering about getting some of the other components to do even more interesting things with it. I’ve also been thinking about how to combine it with some of my other gear to see how it can work together. It really is awesome stuff!

I recorded some sounds from the littleBits kit using my GuitarJack line in and my iPhone 3G running FourTrack, which still works like a dream!

Some things I’d like to see happen, some time soon …

Here’s my little app wishlist so far …

  1. I’d like to see the IFTTT (iTunes link) app go universal and work properly on the iPad as it just doesn’t cut it running it in 2x mode.
  2. I’d also like to see IFTTT come to Android as well, as I think it’d be an interesting way to cross platforms and automate from iOS to Android and into the real world etc.
  3. I can’t wait for the next version of the Editorial app for iPad. I mentioned this only a few days ago as an app that I’m already very impressed with. I’m looking forward to seeing the workflow directory directly in the app itself, that’s going to be so useful.
  4. Whilst on the subject of the Editoral app, I’d like to see it go universal and come to the iPhone as I think it would be amazingly useful.
  5. Continuing with apps, one of the best email apps for iOS (iPhone, not universal) is Dispatch (iTunes link) in my opinion, and I’d love to see it go universal as I think it would work brilliantly on the iPad, especially the iPad mini.
  6. Finally, I’d like to see Zapier bring their service to iOS as well. Even though it’s more business focused than IFTTT I think it would be useful.

So that’s my little list for now. I wonder what I’ll get from that list?
