It was a bit of a surprise to see this go universal, but I’m pretty sure it was on the cards. Anyway, it’s great to have it on the iPhone at last, as now I can make some islands on the go at last.

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.
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.
Just really liked this photo

Getting acquainted with PixiTracker
More time spent with PixiTracker, what a great idea. I remember it the original running on Palm OS and Windows Mobile. With that you had to run it as a file in PixiLang, but that’s another story altogether.
Loopseque Mini
Really enjoyed playing around with this app yesterday. It has a great feel to it and I think that with some practice I might even get reasonable at making tracks with this app.
Some Loopseque Mini Sounds
Another little track, this time made in Loopseque Mini.
Let the experimentation with Griff begin
I had an idea the other day about how to use Griff studio in combination with other gear. I’ve no idea if it will work or be useful, but it’s worth trying out for fun if nothing else.
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.
