Using AmpKit (but perhaps not as it was meant)

I've been using copy paste a lot lately and I remember seeing a twitter conversation a week or so ago on using AmpKit as an effects processor for clips so I thought I'd give it a try using a drum pattern from MoDrum.

The results? Not bad at all really. You can have a lot of fun making interesting effects chains on your loop using AmpKit. Both the number of effects and the chaining gives loads of options.

I only brought in a loop, but I can see that bringing in longer audio clips could be really useful and give you a lot of scope for processing audio. So this is definitely something I'm going to be using a lot more from now on.

Final reminder for the iMS-20

I wouldn't normally do this but as today is the last day that this app is on sale I thought I'd put a second reminder in as it goes up by a lot after today and if anyone was holding out to the last minute I'd hate for them to have to pay the full price. Remember, after today it goes up to $32.99.

What apps am I playing with right now?

I mentioned a while back that I'd give you a quick run down of what I'm playing with at the moment as I've been meaning to do this for a while and a few people have asked as well.
  • Looptastic Producer and HD: Been moving stuff between these two as I make loops for a possible live set
  • bleep!BOX (on iPhone and iPad): Just excellent for lots of little mono sequence loops
  • Xenon: Again, for making loops to fit together
  • iSequence HD: I've been using this for a drum track
  • MoDrum: Fun for patterms
  • DopplerPad: Still love this app, but it could do with an update
On the more experimental front:
  • RJDJ: Using a variety of scenes at odd times. Usually whilst travelling
  • Tondo: Still getting my head around this app

Honeycomb event on Wednesday


Mashable tells us that there's going to be a launch of the next Android version from Google at an event on Wednesday. Honeycomb is the first tablet version of the OS, so there might be a lot to look forward to?

I just hope that the audio issues start to get fixed.

Rob's ideal DJ app spec

Rob publishes his specification for an ideal DJ application. I think it is interesting that some apps have some of the features etc. I seem to find that a lot these days.

It does make me wonder if we shouldn't try crowdsourcing the features of an app from scratch. What do you think? Worthwhile or not?

I'm interested in user and developer views on whether this is worthwhile.
