running on an An excellent concept for a possible Nano!
I love this idea from Plai.TV for a possible gestural wrist band for the possible new iPod Nano that may arrive tomorrow!
But I could this being something you could use with an iPhone or iPod Touch
in the future which would be excellent for performance alongside accelerometer and gyro sensors. Now that would be amazing!Tweet
Jason Sposa: Quiet Songs for Computer People
I was listening to this album earlier today and I knew I had to post something about it. This is a great collection of tracks made with Nanoloop, Gocken Jr, Manetron, and a little Casio SK-1.
The tracks can be heard here and they are really worth a listen.
If you've made music with your iPhone / iPad / Android or other device and would like it featured on Palm Sounds, then just get in touch.

Pianist Pro 1.5 to support Line6 MIDI Mobilizer
Pianist Pro from MooCowMusic is to support Line6's MIDI Mobilizer
in an imminent release.
Here's what MooCowMusic's press release says:
MIDI Mobilizer is currently the only hardware MIDI interface for the iOS platform, providing a pair of MIDI cables that can be plugged directly into external devices such as MIDI controller keyboards and modules, or a computer interface to control Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software such as Logic, Garageband or Cubase.
With our existing MIDI-via-OSC technology, Pianist Pro can already be used as a wireless master MIDI keyboard to control external soft or hard synths. MIDI Mobilizer now allows us to offer a robust wired alternative for live performance, together with bi-directional control enabling Pianist Pro to also act as a MIDI sound source or sequencer driven by an external hardware keyboard. Now you can record your song ideas on the road with nothing more than an iPad and portable MIDI keyboard, and then import those songs into your DAW via a Standard MIDI File when back at the studio.
This is great news and I'm sure that Pianist Pro won't be the last app to support the MIDI Mobilizer now that they have opened their SDK.

Hypebot on dwindling iPod sales
I found this article at Hypebot interesting and also not a big surprise in some ways. I still own an iPod Classic
and use it a lot. For a start I can only carry around half my music collection on my iPhone and as apps and data continue to take up space that % dwindles too.
Apple never seem to be that sorry when a product dies off. They always seem focused on what's next, which makes sense, and it wouldn't be a shock if the traditional iPod line vanished in time.

Interesting developments at Ellatron
Omenie (makers of Ellatron and M3000) post on what they're up to. Always good to hear, but if you read to the end of this post you'll find that they're working with an interesting prototype MIDI interface (not Line6 as far as I know) for iOS.
No details as yet, but if I find out anything I'll be sure to let you know.

adventure.More rumours for the 1st of September
Most of the rumours in this post at MacRumors are ones you've heard already, but the last one, the possible 'mystery app' in a potential new iLife
suite being an app that lets you make your own iPhone app and send it to a device, now that would be cool! MacRumors calls it Apple returning to their Hypercard roots, but could it be a reaction to Google's App Inventor as well?

Korg M01 Music Workstation round up
Lots more news on the Korg M1 for the DS
. So here's what it says on the Detune page:- 8-part multi-timbral synthesizer with more than 300 sounds including whole of the original PCM data in the KORG M1 (maximum 12 voices)
- 8-track/16-step sequencer (maximum 64 steps per a sequence)
- 1 Master effect: Reverb or Delay
- Simple and well-composed screens structure: Track overview, Sound browser, Sequence edit, Mixer, and Keyboard
- Easy input mode for notes, chords, and drums with Touch control screen
- Exchange of song data between the others with Nintendo DS wireless system
We are planning the international sales.
All excellent news so far. Looking back to the original DS-10
launch in 2008 (yes, it was that long ago), it wasn't a huge wait for the cart to become available worldwide, so hopefully this launch will follow suit.
CDM picks up the story too. But I do wonder what Korg's strategy is around the handheld and mobile market. Monotron
, iElectribe, DS-10
and now this! Where next?I'd like to see a Kaossilator
for the iPhone or iPad
, I wonder if they'll do something like that? Who knows where they'll go next, and I know that we'd all like to see the Monotron become a line of tiny handheld synths with a Monotron Pro and a Sampletron too!Still, they keep us guessing and I like that. Here's looking forward to whatever they do next, and also to December for the M01.

Pocket Synth for iPhone
A new synth for the iPhone which sounds quite interesting.
User programmable additive synth controlled with classic landscape keyboard or full screen Aural Expression Matrix (AUM)
Taking advantage of the PM-Synth engine and Aural Expression Matrix (AEM) technology Pocket Synth will have you droning the dulcet tones of the deep sea whale, pumping classic synth brass and grinding out industrial mayhem in no time. At the pulsing heart of this audio machine is an additive synthesizer engine with two oscillators per voice each with five available wave shapes, four envelopes, LFO with seven shapes, low pass filter, distortion, delay, pulse width modulation, six octave range and pitch bender. What sets Pocket Synth apart from its supposed competitors, however, is its Aural Expression Matrix which takes full advantage of your phones capacitive multitouch capabilities to provide a practically unimpeded conduit between your mind and the desired sound. Do yourself and everyone else within earshot a hot favour and snatch this. ---
This latest version has been called “the only music app that can both entice potential suitors and repel would-be assailants (sometimes simultaneously).” It is fully programmable and includes 20 saveable memory slots:
- User programmable additive synth controlled with classic landscape keyboard or full screen Aural Expression Matrix
- 20 saveable memory slots
- Sine, sawtooth, square, pulse and noise wave shapes
- Seven LFO shapes assignable to pitch, amplitude or filter
- Four envelopes (Pitch, amplitude, filter and LFO depth)
- Low pass filter
- Pulse width modulation
- Pitch bender
- 6 octave range
- Portamento, distortion and delay FX modes
