BleepBox site gets a refresh

A little bit more useful than before and easier to find information on the home page, yet still no sign of the updated app which is a real shame.

All Things DS-10 starts to review the DS-10+

I'm sure he'll continue this review in subsequent posts, but so far it is interesting to see how he gets on with the new version.

HHH on Clapboard apps for the iPhone

Handheld Hollywood has a good post on Clapboard apps for the iPhone. I think I bought one early and never use it. Some of the apps in this post seem quite advanced though so maybe I should look again?

YUDO puts out a new app

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this new app from YUDO. It isn't really what I was expecting from them next. On the one hand I want to buy it to see what it is like, and on the other I'm not sure it is going to do anything for me.

If anyone's tried it please let me know what you think.

KrisM's top 10 iPhone apps

Here' KrisM's top 10 iPhone apps In no particular order:

JR Hexatone Pro

Niose.io Pro
(desktop plugin?? )


Intua Beatmaker


Dopplerpad
(wonderful fun)


Bleep!box


Thump


technoBox


Aura
(fun and intuitive interface for ambient stuff)


Curtis

Some nice choices there, and good to see that Thump gets a mention too. Thanks Kris.

FourTrack integration over multiple apps

According to a tweet from FourTrack the 3.0 version will enable integration with DopplerPad, InstantDrummer and Vox 3000. I wonder how it will compare with ioLibrary integration from Amidio and if the two will come together at some point?

Ideally I'd like to see integration to Beatmaker too and eventually into MultiTrack, the 16 track recorder, but I guess we need to take 1 step at a time.

Retronyms apps (DopplerPad and Vox 3000)


Sonoma apps (FourTrack and InstantDrummer):

DopplerPad 1.6, now I get it

I was starting to think that I really had missed something here, but thankfully I hadn't. According to this post from Retronyms the new version of DopplerPad with audioCopy won't work until version 3.0 of FourTrack is available, which should be any time now I hope.

DopplerPad 1.6 - FourTrack Integration

The long awaited integration with FourTrack has arrived in DopplerPad this morning. I haven't tried it out but that's No.1 on my list of things to do this morning. I'll write something when I've given it a go.

Pete Cole: Mixtikl update

Looks like we're getting much closer to the release of Mixtikl on all platforms, and a new browser plugin for Mixtikl too according to this post from Pete Cole.

I'm really looking forward to the latest version of Mixtikl on my Axim, and especially to seeing the iPhone version too.

Concretedog Gig: 30/10

If you're in the area at the end of the month then do take a look in. I'm hoping we can see some video after the event for everyone who couldn't get to it. More details at Concretedog's blog.

Sounds like the RJDJ London was a big success. I wish I'd been there.

If anyone is writing their own scenes or planning to I'd be interested to hear about how you're getting on.

Strange Agency at an interesting event

The Strange Agency are talking about their apps at this event, which looks really interesting. I wish there was stuff like stuff around London, or do I just miss it?

LaDiDa - Reverse Karaoke and CDM's view

CDM (always a good read) has this post on LaDiDa. I posted about this app before which composes music for you based on what you sing into it.

I think I'm going to treat myself to this app and find a quiet corner to see what it can do.
