CDM on Apple's new lightning connector and accessories
Interesting perspective from CDM on the new connector from Apple.
Personally I'm not sure though. Whilst it does add to the length of the device, the biggest problem is how unstable the connections will be. Especially for live work. I guess time will tell. Once I've got an iPhone 5 I'll let you know what I think of it in practice.

Teenage Engineering letting you 3D print your own accessories
I know that lots of people don't like some of the things that they do, but the up side is they've released the CAD files so you can now 3D print your own.
I'd call that pretty impressive. You can find the files here.

OT: Jay Freeman, a.k.a. Saurik, TUAW Origin Stories
I know that this is a bit off topic, but I thought it would be of interest to a few people who jailbreak and others who are interested to know more about it.

Don't forget to get it before it's too late. At the end of the week it'll be gone!
The Korg Big Event UK
If you're in the UK this is well worth a look, especially for the nano2 deal if nothing else. You can find it here.
RJDJ retiring their original app!
You can read their original post about retiring the first RJDJ app.
If you don't know the original RJDJ app you should take a look, especially as you only have the rest of this week to get to it. So, get it as soon as you can!
Bleep, the app, arrives
What the bleep is this?
...it's an addictive wavetable drum machine with midi! Draw pitch and wavetable modulation to create chip-tune sounds and effects, then sequence them to make retro video game like beats! You can create 12 sounds per song and save up to 8 songs that you can switch, shuffle and randomise on the fly. Midi support enables you to trigger your sounds with a midi device.
The app is priced at $0.99.

iMpulse Game Controller & Key Finder: Pocket Accessory
Whilst this is being developed as a gamer accessory I can really see it being used for music as well. In fact I could imagine it as a way to control your iDevice whilst it's in your pocket whilst just walking down the street. Maybe for RJDJ, who knows.
What do you think?
Further update to Sunvox v1.7.2b
Full details here. We await the iOS version of the excellent Sunvox. I'm sure it won't be long though.
If you're interested in the tear down, then you'll find it here
Sound Taxi
Whilst not using iOS or other 'mobile' tech, this is without a doubt an excellent mobile project. There's a good description of it at The Verge if you haven't heard about the project.
The Mozilla OS Developer phone arrives
Mozilla OS could be an interesting development for mobile music if the whole HTML5 web audio thing is right. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but the beginning of next year will be interesting.
More info at Geek.com.
Audiobus is gaining ground
Developers seem to be starting to come out of the woodwork to confirm that they're going to implement AudioBus in their apps. Discchord reports on two very significant steps forward, Auria and Thumbjam/DrumJam. Both of which will be incredible with AudioBus.
Will there be an OP-2?
I saw a thread over at the Oh Pee Won forum and it made me wonder if Teenage Engineering will deliver an updated hardware version of the OP-1 (an OP-2 maybe), or if their current strategy of updating the operating system will keep them going for a long time?
Sinewave Synthesizer universal arrives
A nice looking and free app for your iDevice:
It's a simple synth that looks niftly. This app is a 16 step sinewave synthesizer that allows you to configure the pitch, mode, scale, and bpm. Please try it out.
Analog Groove
Three Moog analog synths sequenced by Koushion. Koushion is a MIDI Step Sequencer iPad app that allows you to easily program drum patterns, melodies and more using your existing hardware synthesizers, softsynths, samples and other electronic music gear. Works great with Ableton Live and other DAWs.
