My guest post at Music 4.5

The people over at Music 4.5 are lovely. When I first spoke to Rassami about a mobile music conference last year I was just amazed to think that someone would be interested in that kind of thing, but now, less that twelve months on, it doesn’t seem so strange.

I’m looking forward to the event on the 8th. The panel of speakers looks really good (yep, I’m on it too), and I think there’ll be a broad spectrum of issues raised to cover the mobile music world and where it has got to.

Remember SynthPond?

SynthPond was one of the first iOS music making apps and the concept still is very intriguing and interesting to play with.

I would have liked a way to record with this app and more controls over the sounds, especially filter and envelope controls. But, sadly, these were never forthcoming. Still, even without those it is still a great concept.

StyleTap does not like PixiLang and Sunvox

I wanted to try to get PixiLang and Sunvox working under StyleTap on my jailbroken 3G, but as you can see from these screen shots, StyleTap was not happy about them at all. Of course, I can run Sunvox native on the iPhone, but not not PixiLang, which is a shame.
