Finder Drum Pads Circuit Bent Speak And Spell
I like the idea of this app, in fact I'm all for circuit bent stuff on iOS. Here's what the app has to say for itself.
Transform your phone into a circuit bent Speak and Spell!
Play the kit's pads and enjoy the glitchy sounds, or modify it to the max in real time with the multiple effects!
Features:
- 8 Pads, and an assignable ribbon controller.
- 3 Audio effects:
- Pitch Bend, Low Pass Filter, Bit Crusher.
- The effects can be assigned to Ribbon Controller and both axis of the device's Accelerometer.
- Midi IN: trigger the sounds externally
- Midi OUT: control other synths with FDP's pads!
MIDI Support coming to Noisepad soon
Great to know, I think it'll make it a really useful app with MIDI added.
So you'd like some Madplayer examples?
An anonymous commenter asked if I could show any examples of what the madPlayer sounded like. Well, be careful what you wish for, I might just do that!

DR-OM experiment 1 (tanpura) by tawalker
I especially liked the commentary that goes with this track ...
If there's one thing that making music with an iPhone has changed in my own musical "life"... well, there are plenty, but it has definitely reawakened my interest in synthesisers and electronica. Lots of iOS app developers have created electronic music apps, from synths and rhythm machines through to audio-processors and recorders, and often available for the price of a Starbucks beverage (or even less).
DR-OM (from the developers Fluxama - www.fluxama.com/) is one of the more interesting, even quirky, iOS synth apps. The story behind it, if true, is intriguing in its own right - the app is reputedly a digital recreation of a 1970s electronics project (a function (tone) generator), which with some homebrew modifications could be turned into a primitive two-oscillator, one-filter synth/tone-generator.
DR-OM is capable of assorted effects, from ear-splitting noise through to pulsating, tanpura-like drones (Fluxama claims the original box was nicknamed "Doctor Om", suggesting one use it was put to). The synth isn't equipped with traditional pitch-controllers (keyboard, ribbon, MIDI, etc.) - you set the "Frequency" dial for each of the two oscillators, flick the "on" switch and...
...play this track and you'll get the idea :-) This is an example of DR-OM in "tanpura" mode; the settings are pretty much what you see in the image assigned to this upload (a screenshot of the app as it was generating this sound). I captured this sound entirely on the iPhone 4S, running DR-OM's output via the Audiobus app into Audioshare (kymatica.com/audioshare ), where I trimmed the silence at both ends and uploaded it directly here.
I'm not entirely certain whether DR-OM will end up in any of my "main" musical projects, though there's probably a self-indulgent ambient electronica album in this little box ;-)
Arduino Yún – the first in a series of wifi products combining Arduino with Linux
Now this feels like a big step forward for Arduino. I read through the article on the Arduino blog and got to the cost and thought I'd mis-read it. Take a look for yourself.
Brief update from Amidio, Cycloop sounding good
The drum part of #Cycloop turned so good that we’re thinking to expand it into a separate drum machine app

Introducing the OhBac 2000 for OP1
I thought this was quite interesting. Here's the video description:
Beware: Boring video and low quality sounds. Raspberry Pi that copies contents of Album and Tracks and also uploads Track 1 to Soundcloud.
And the description that comes from Oh Pee Won:
Today I bought a Raspberry Pi for using with the OP1 and started programming directly. What it does after a few hours of coding:
- Whenever I connect a OP1 and set it to disk mode it copies ALBUM and TAPE to the RaspPIs SD-card.
- Then it copies Album Track 1 to Soundcloud.
- Two odd examples of autouploaded songs:
Integra Live, interesting modular environment, and it's coming to the iPad
I saw this at Music Tech Fest at the weekend and asked them about a mobile version. See the tweet below to see what they said ...
