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.
Don’t get too excited, this isn’t going going to be some amazing new Palm OS music app any time soon, and quite possibly not ever in fact. At the moment it is just some experimentation on my part and that’s about all.
Having said that, I’ve managed to get a few little things working in it, like a menu bar, and a little keyboard thing going. I will tinker with it some more as and when I have new ideas, and I’ll post up the results here too.
This app reminded me a lot of Bebot, but with a more, ‘dog’ feel to it I guess. Fun to play around with, and free.
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.
If you’re interested in reading my piece over at Music 4.5’s blog, you can find it here.
I hope you enjoy this one too.
I’ve only just got a new Monotron delay, which I have to say is really lovely. Some great sounds.
In the last couple of days I’ve really got back into NanoLoop and actually started to make something worth sharing.
After a long time I gave Gliss a go this morning, and it was even better than I remember! What a great app for drawing your sound. I’m certain to spend a bit more time with this app now.
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.
