An unusual iPad app arrives. Artikulator is a multitouch finger-painting synthesizer that lets anyone draw sound.
The developer says:
Our goal is to begin freeing electronic music from being grid-based in time and pitch. We've found Artikulator awesome for synthesizing the sounds of nature, such as a baby crying, or waves crashing on a beach. The human mind is pretty perceptive to this kind of free glissando, from the emotional melisma of speech to our understanding of the doppler effect to place sounds in space — so we say, why not sequence it.
Sounds cool? Artikulator is priced at $4.99

Now there's a mouthful!
There's a video up here;

@Dj Hombre ... thanks for the link to the video ... it confirmed what I feared ... it's like finger nails on a chalkboard to me .... although a really great idea.
Does it have export audio, audiocopy?
Oh, and can the play button be triggered via core midi?
Sorry Marlene, but you really aren't half a philistine! LOL!
Artikulator is pure GENIUS!
PS I was always that sickened individual who actually enjoyed pulling his fingernails down the blackboard watching with utter amusement as the rest of the class fell around it acts of fitting! (Although a plastic ruler made a far louder noise!!!!) ^_^
Yes. Audio Copy, or even the ability to string pictures together! 8)
Artikulator is demented!!!
It's more than cool, it's a bloody scary nightmare!!!
MuhahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAHHH!
This is definitely going in the right way for me! Now if only Nanostudio could be written like Artikulator?! :D
Hmm.... Yes. It could do with a little more work. And at £2.99 it's a touch expensive :?
But there is much potential here!
Watching the video and listening to the "compositions" lets me come to the conclusion that a grid for pitch and time makes more sense than one would think... ;)
way too expensive, mates!
