MegaCurtis on the way

I’ve posted about the wonderful iOS tools from the Strange Agency before, so I was really pleased to see that they have another, or possibly an update on the way.

The refer to it as ‘MegaCurtis’, and it looks amazing, very much building on Curtis for the iPhone and the iPad version too. In some ways I’m hoping that it is a new app and not an update as I like the existing one and would almost just like to have a new one to compliment it, but irrespective I’m looking forward to it, for more strangeness and experimentation. Here we go.

Returning to Xenon

Another app that I’ve long overlooked and I now plan to use some more. Xenon is a great groove box and can generate some really nice synthy sounds. In many ways it reminds me of Microbe on the Palm OS, but it is a different app in many ways.

I got back to this and get a little track up and running in just a few minutes yesterday and I’m looking forward to doing some more with it soon.

Songineer

One of Amidio’s brightly coloured interfaces. I decided to try this out again as it fell into the ‘haven’t used since it came out’ category. One thing that came back very quickly was that the random drum pattern generator was quite fun to play with, and as an ‘instant composer’ app (as it is described), it does do what is says it will very well.

I think I’ll spend a bit more time with this one over the next few weeks.
