Just letting you music folks know that a new music notation app from Notion is out, and it's on a super sale until the 21st, really reduced. Maybe should do a spotlight? Not very synthy though, heh.
Wonderful! Your presentations of all these iPad Apps is great! Right after having watched the last one on TouchJam I immediately purchased it and after improvising for 5 minutes on the sofa (sic!) my first little track was captured and on the way to soundcloud. So funny, isn't it. IKaossilator too is a great App. Having played a lot stuff on the hardware Kaossilator this new version gives you a lot more possibilities. Many thanxs for Your wonderful videos on making music!
Nick, you mentioned Bluetooth being wonky, but Bluetooth 4.0 (now in iPhone 4S and to be in all future Apple devices) is a dramatic improvement. Latency of 6ms compared to 100ms for old Bluetooth. This will be a real boon for touch-music devices. See Wikipedia for 'Bluetooth Low Energy' and
Thanks for the new episode guys! Really enjoying the show.
Please do a top 10 music apps for 2011 or just your personal favourites of the year. Love to know what you guys rate as the top music makers - when I finally get an iPad I would have somewhere t start :)
Also I just checked out SunVox. Ohhhhh my gosh. For something like £2.59 you get a whole synth/sample studio with sequencer, tracker and module interface. This thing... Omigosh. Please to be spotlighting it. It's a lot like Reaktor, sorta.
WIST is a great concept, however, the midi specification really need to be updated to MIWI (musical instrument wireless interface) before we end up with several incompatible formats. And while they are at it, how about merging rewire and vst into the midi spec for a super MIDI ? ... Oh yeah, great show sonic state.
Great show. Great demo of WIST. Ims with ikaossilator is brilliant. They sound perfect together. Love ikaossilator shared with the world too. It's like open ableton for everyone to add pieces all tempo and beat matched to the initial song you start! Too cool. Sorry androidyites,nothing close.
The new iKaossilator V2.0 is very cool, i'm really enjoying it, but if there's one thing that keeps it from being a true "pro" app, it's the ability to IMPORT your own samples (one shot or loops) to use them as sound sources. If Korg adds that it will be a real killer app!
Re Korg app. A lot more functionality than the KPro, better voices and easier to use too. Won't record external sounds/vocal loops though. App + iPad are only £150 more than the KPro and you get an iPad thrown in too.
I'd like to echo the request for Android apps. I have a strong feeling that there won't be anything remotely comparable with the iPad because developers/companies aren't supporting it.
I love you guys, BUT the suggestion to the name "Sonic Touch" was made by me and clearly marcthedarc wrote " i 2nd the suggestion to include other platforms and suggest the name Sonic Touch" a few comments after mine, which, may i remind you, included:
"Don't limit this to iPad only, ... and my personal favorites: "Sonic touch" or "Sonicstate music touch" which tie well with the Sonicstate name ... "
Anyway, it's not important, great show, i love you all, keep it up!
@synthlab I'm SO sorry about that, genuine mistake made in the heat of the moment - we will make it clear in the next episode. VERY SORRY for the mixup Synthlab
@sonicstate Yeah, that was partly my bad. I read the first line of Synthlabs suggestion and thought i'd 2nd that, never getting around to reading his name-suggestions. So honours are his, but it was actually a seperate "original" thought on my behalf, just slightly too late. I'd say that great minds think alike, but i dont wanna seem too self-absorbed ;-)
@MarctheDarc (thinking) ... i think i shouldn't bring this up, bottom line, it's not important, let's enjoy the music and the videos ... smiles all around ....
Still, i think you were right to claim your right - had i taken the time to read the rest of your post, i'd just have 2nd' the name suggestion the same as your other suggestion. No points for slacking for me ;-)
I don't think anyone will ever call themselves a touch jockey. The term will always be DJ no matter how technology changes. Look at print technology and words like ledding. It refers to using strips of led on the print block to make the line spaces larger or smaller. Now we use computers for that the name hasn't changed.
amazing how this guy makes the shots transitions with the korg kontrol and at the same time is really focus on what the dialogue is all about , pro !!!! congrats!
You rock. What's the word on tempo syncing iKaosilator with Ableton using either an IO dock or WIST?
