Thump, Thump, Thump

I very clearly remember when this first came out. It was very exciting. Thump went a bit further than the more traditional 2 x synths and 1 x drum machine app. It had more scope for playing with the sounds, especially in terms of drum sounds, which was a little unusual back then. When I say back then of course I only mean 2009, which isn’t that long ago at all, but things have moved on a great deal.

I still like Thump. It’s just different enough to give it a slightly unique sound, and that’s not something you find everyday.

miniMusic, Pianofly Pro Synth and more thoughts …

miniMusic will turn 13 years old soon, and even though they haven’t put out anything new for quite some time I thought I’d give PianoFly Pro Synth a go again. It’s a lovely app, a lovely synth with some features that still aren’t available anywhere else.

I’d hoped that they’d bring out Tympanum, their second app soon, but it still hasn’t seen the light of day. I’d like to think that miniMusic would do something for their birthday as they remain one of my favourite developers.

You just have to love PalmSprak

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.

Reactable Mobile

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.

Thingamagoop and the Monotrons

That would be a good name for a band wouldn’t it? Anyway, I plugged my Thingamagoop 2 into my original Monotron aux and that into my new Monotron Delay. How much more fun can you have?

Anyway, I’ve recorded the noises and I’m going to do some manipulating with them, so you can expect the end result up on SoundCloud soon enough.
