someone who's doing some things
It’s a big passion for me. Making music on the move is something I’ve been doing for a long time and I hope to do it far into the future.
Another older Amidio app that was actually very good, and when I started using it again I remembered just how simple it was to play with.
Sadly it is no longer on the app store for some reason, Amidio seem to have withdrawn it alongside a number of other apps that I still have of theirs, which is a shame really.
So I’ve had my iPad 3 for a few days now, and of course it is lovely and all that. So what’s great about it? Well, for me, the best thing about it is that it isn’t broken. My iPad 2 had a smashed screen which meant it was almost completely unusable for the last 2 and a half months. The iPad 3 is lovely from that perspective.
Aside from that it feels very similar. The screen is better, there’s no doubt about that, and whilst that’s great to have it adds little in terms of functionality for any music app, which is one of my main uses of the device. The camera is better so I’m told, but as I never really used the camera it doesn’t make much difference to me either.
So, whilst I’m glad to have a functioning iPad again I can’t say that the 3rd generation unit has overwhelmed me really. I think there was more that Apple could have done to make this an innovative device, but perhaps they’re saving that for another time.
I love the fact that someone made a Palm Sounds version of their app to celebrate when Palm Sounds was 5 years old. I really love the original Sprak app and this one is just as good, and reminds me that Palm Sounds was a really good thing and helped to create a lot of buzz around mobile music.
This is a really interesting app to play with and use although I don’t think it would be something to actually make any music from, which seems strange, but even so it is quite a lot of fun to use.
It’s almost certainly staying on my iPhone 3G.
Great fun for just noodling around really, and a nice looking picture from it, although the ‘kites’ scene or sketch or whatever the correct term is looks good too.
I saw the name of this app and I had to get it. SpaceLab sounds like such a great idea. I reality it isn’t really that cosmic a music app. Not that it isn’t fun to play with and it has a nice sound for a monosynth, but it is still a monosynth. The interface is nice, but it isn’t breaking any new ground in particular, and yet the name gets me. I love it.
Doesn’t really make any sense does it?
Now I have the whole set. All the monotrons, original, delay and duo, and they’re all lovely.
Not a bad little drum machine for my 3G. I think I’ll probably keep it for now.
I do like Reactable mobile, but once again it falls into the ‘haven’t had much time to it’ category. So I decided to play with it again and I’m well on my way to getting some interesting (ok, interesting to me) patches done.
You might not have noticed that there’s some more ancient Palm OS stuff available here. I will be adding more zipped files with old apps that are disappearing from anywhere else on the internet, although I’m not sure that anyone will actually these want anyway.
