Reminder: TuringFest coming soon.
Just a reminder about TuringFest which seems quite interesting, apart from the fact that the event is also hosting MHD Scotland.
If you're going to be up there for the MHD then it's worth checking out the other stuff going on as well.

Noises on your iPhone: Part 4 - Bebot - Robot Synth
Let's face it, bebot was, and still is a great app for making noises, and what's more you can do quite a lot more with it too.
It's a shame that it hasn't been updated for quite a long time now, but I guess that everything has a lifespan and people need to move on.
Even so, it's good to play with it still.

Heavily Extended Mute Synth from A.S.M.O.
If you know about the mute synth you should take a look at this commissioned version over at ASMO's site.
Palm OS 5 app of the day: Wave Edit Pro
A very late Palm OS app that was an extremely versatile audio file editor. I always hoped it would evolve into a multi-track but that didn't happen sadly. In fact, there was never a Palm multi-track editor although a few people talked about making one at various points.
Introducing... Samplodica! (or ...how to play)
I know this is one of the apps that I missed in my break from Jan to May, so I thought I should post up this video of it.

Palm OS 4 App of the day: Music Studio
Music studio for Palm was a really interesting application because it was able to use the Yamaha GM chip in the clie series PDAs but also worked with the standard tone output of Palm OS devices. Effectively it was a little notation package. Not as flexible as miniMusic's NotePad, but still handy.

In case you'd missed it over the past few weeks, Molten Drum Machine is still free at the moment. Add it to your iPad, and if you don't have an iPad, get it anyway just in case.
Coming Soon: Symphonix Evolution 1.95
New stuff on the way to Symphonix Evolution. Here's what Vinclaro have announced so far:
- Map functions to MIDI controllers so that external hardware or MIDI apps can control the software. For example using a MIDI controller keyboard to change track presets or control the transport functions
- Significant performance improvements and improved stability
- Improved user interface for transport controls and more intuitive design of other features such as Controller input
- Access to low-level synthesizer parameters (this is one of our favorites and will be covered in this blog soon)
- More powerful selection tools for modifying notes and manipulating the song
Sum05 by Lia – Generative experience for iPhone and iPad

Palm OS 5 App of the day: BeatPad
I still think that this is a great piece of software for the Palm. I would have liked to see it get ported over to iOS, but I don't think that'll happen now. It has a great interface which packs loads of control into just 2 screens.
So if you have an old Palm OS device then you should seriously consider trying this out. You can get it from miniMusic.

If you want recording tips try Tape Op, new iOS app now in beta test
Tape Op brings itself to iOS in this new beta app, Here's the description:
Tape Op is about learning how to make great recordings with whatever tools you have access to. Unlike most recording magazines, Tape Op is not focused on reviewing equipment. Lots of mags already do a great job on that front. Instead, Tape Op interviews engineers, producers and musicians who are making great recordings. We sit down and talk with them at length and then run long, in- depth interviews. The reader becomes, in essence, the “tape op” hanging out in the studio and learning the trade from the seasoned vets working in the studio. Ultimately, we strive to put education and creativity above all else.
Tape Op is currently the largest circulated music recording magazine in the world.
