someone who's doing some things
Apple’s mobile OS. I find that I use iOS (on the iPad and iPhone) for a lot of things these days, mainly because it’s just so useful.
I was making a little tune in Chordbot today and remembered that it has a very nice feature allowing an export to MIDI and email function. Once you’ve emailed yourself the file you can open it in a variety of apps, I decided to use Music Studio, which works really well. From there you can add anything else.
I’ll have to see how it works with other apps next.
The other day I was messing around with my Thingamagoop and 2 monotrons, and of course recorded the output. I then tried working with it as sample data in Jasuto Pro, which I think worked quite well.
What I might do is put together all of the different treatments of this recording in a single soundcloud set at some point this week(-ish).
I only went back to this app as I’d seen a photo of the screen on instagram! Ok, not a great reason to return to an app, but nevertheless I did, and I’m glad I did too. Very nice for making ambient things and passing the time on the train.
I remember when bleep!BOX first came out. It was completely amazing. 4 mono synths, and 6 drum synths all in your iPhone. Wow!
So I decided to go back to it yesterday and see if I could make something and actually finish it this time, and apart from being quite surprised that I could still remember my way around on the whole I got something started which I’m really quite pleased with. It isn’t finished as yet, maybe I’ll wrap it up next week, but so far I think it’s pretty good.
And even though this app’s been around in iOS world for quite some time I still think it is pretty amazing and full of possibilities.
As this is a Nic Collins app I thought I’d give it a go, but so far I’m not sure it lives up to his previous creations, which have been excellent and truly innovative.
Perhaps I just need to give it a bit more time?
More sound experimentation.
I really do like tweakybeat, and one of the reasons that isn’t obvious is that it is really straightforward and simple to use. The interface is completely no nonsense.
If you don’t know it, then you should.
I wish I could build a drum machine like this.
Another work in progress piece. I find it interesting that different music apps make you work in different ways and inspire different musical styles. I really should try doing something radically different with Nanoloop. Perhaps with the next track.
I hadn’t used this little app since the update that allowed recording, so I decided to record a little random tweakybeatness for no real reason.
