Sinewave / Bacterium

I didn’t make either of these, although I think that I may have compiled them under HB++, a now defunct IDE for Palm OS development.

The Sinewave app was from Olivier and was meant as a learning aid for those wishing to develop Palm OS audio apps.

Bacterium was something that was being developed (I can’t remember by whom) and, as often happens, got stalled. Both late examples of Palm OS music making apps.

Sequencing Jasuto

Getting Jasuto to do interesting things is actually not that difficult at all. As a music app for experimenting with ideas it is brilliant. The more I use it, the more I find more ways to use it.

I do hope that there is a new version on the way with scripting and more. It hasn’t been updated for a long time now.

Where are the monotrons?

I’ve been waiting ages for the two new monotrons to arrive, but so far nothing, at least nothing at a reasonable price anyway. A few retailers have them on at £100, but I’m not willing to pay that much for them. I’m aiming to pay around £50 each for them.

Of course the big problem with these is that I wonder if I’ll get them and then never use them, or hardly ever use them and it’ll just be a waste of cash. I rarely use my original monotron now, so maybe I should get that out and give it a go again before I spend out on two new ones?
