Good luck Intermorphic

I really liked this post from Intermorphic about what they’ve been doing this year and what they have planned for 2016. I’ve been a fan of theirs for many years now. In fact, probably approaching 10 years now. I’ve seen them go through several iterations and still keep going. I hope that they keep flying the flag for generative music for many years to come.

Good luck guys.

Is it worth getting the 6s or waiting for the 7?

I’ve been thinking about this ever since the 6s came out and 3D touch was announced. It is of course the 3D touch feature that I’m most interested in. Aside from that it is just another iPhone. But I’m torn. Should I wait for the 7, which will invariably have more features and I might want one of those, or should I dive in now and get a 6s and use the 3D touch?

I’m not sure. The cautious part of me says to wait, but I’m not sure it’s right this time.

Tydlig updated but still no save

Which is a real shame in my view. I mean, I understand that it isn’t always easy to give users what they want, but this is a feature that I think would make this app so much better, so much more usable. So why not add it? I’m not sure I understand this at all.

I might even have to find myself another calculator app that does what I want it to do. I’d rather not, but what else can I do?

SoundLab Play Space: Studio Amplify

These guys are pretty amazing actually. I’ve been following their NOiZE app for a long time now and it’s nearly ready for prime time. I’m glad to have been a part of the journey that they’ve been on and I’m pleased that they were able to be SoundLab’s Play Space event at NESTA last month.

Mark and Ed using LoopTree at the SoundLab Play Space

Ed from LoopTree (Coding Cod) was an absolute star at the Play Space and helped lots of people get to grips with looping where they’d never done it before. I liked this photo a lot as it also has Mark from Heart n Soul in it.

DS-10 then and now

DS-10 now and then

I do love the old DS-10. I’ve had the DS version, and now, the iOS version. It’s all pretty cool. Amazing that we’ve come so far and yet mobile music goes on and changes and matures.

The latest version of the DS-10, the iDS-10 is pretty awesome. I’m just getting to grips with it, but so far I’m really enjoying it a lot.

Why I like Wojta from Intermorphic

I really do like Wojta a lot. It’s such a cool and simple way of turning a short piece of text into sound and then sharing it. Simple, effective, quick. There aren’t many apps that you can say that of. It does what it says it is going to do, and it does it.

I also like how Intermorphic have just kept making it better and better, and I’m sure they’ll continue to do that too.

Still waiting for that Pebble IFTTT channel

It’s been such a long time that I’m beginning to question whether I heard it correctly or rather read it correctly. But I’m sure I did. I’m sure that Pebble said that that was something that they were working on ages ago, but so far, it hasn’t arrived unless I’ve missed it. What would I use it for? I don’t know to be honest, maybe nothing at all in the end, but I’d like to have the chance to play around with it.

A beautiful addition to my Ukulele

I’ve been playing around with this hardware and iOS app for a little while and it’s really good. It works just so well with my Ukulele. I wanted to do some work around creating soundscapes using my Ukulele and iOS effects apps and this has done completely what I needed.

I’ll be putting together some sound samples from this soon, so you’ll be able to hear what I mean.
