iPhone/iPod Touch Music Apps, Mobile Producing Einstellungen

[Lux Aeterna]

Seit Samstag für IPhone/IPod-Touch erhältlich:

http://noise.io/

Hab ihn mir geholt und muss sagen um € 7,99 gibt's nichts besseres, vollwertiger FM Synth der alle funktionen eines "grossen" bietet, rennt nahezu latenzfrei und der Sound rockt gewaltig.

Ein weiters geiles Ultramobiltool, angeblich wollen Sie den auch irgendwie mit Intua Beatmaker vernetzen,...

Bald gibt es wirklich keinen Grund mehr, einen Laptop mitzuschleppen wenn man unterwegs im Flieger, Bus oder Zug mal schnell was zusammenschrauben will zumindest Teile für "grosse" Produktionen daheim im Sequenzer.

<h2 align="center">What kinds of sounds is it possible to create with Noise.io?</h2>


To tell the truth, at the moment we ourselves at Amidio have not yet explored all the sonic possibilities of Noise.io. However the range of sounds is broadened by Noise.io's monophonic nature. So creating multi-layered "mega chords" will be possible only if you record separate pitches with the same envelopes and then layer them up in a DAW (digital audio workstation).

But, Noise.io is suitable for almost all other things:

• basses (fat, squeaky, punchy, deep, low, hollow, fretless, kicking)
• 303-like basslines (with even more mood due to multi-glide functions)
• leads (melodic, vibrating, mesmerizing)
• keys (epiano-alikes, trance pikes, vibes)
• bells (harmonic and inharmonic bells, chimes and mallets)
• sound effects (swooshes, mystical noises, distorted realities)
• percussive sounds (atonal percussion, drum sounds, snares, hihats, even bass drums)
• ...and many, many more!

Please remember that after creating a sound, you can fire up Pitch Sequencer and create a melody using that instrument!




Suggested Usage

Sound Quality
Simply connect the sound output of your iPhone/iPod touch to the mic/line input of your mixer, recorder or sound card - and there you are, now you can enrich your tracks or mixes with superb melodies, sequences or sound effects that blow away people's minds, making your perfomance unique and unforgettable.

All you need is Noise.io, line phone jack cable and your fingers. The quality of sound you will get depends on the quality of the cable and your A/D converter but even with not too expensive equipment, it is really *very* good, comparable to the quality of hardware synths.

Noise.io is fully ready for live perfomances. In fact, it has been initially designed for live perfomances. (IMG:http://noise.io/images/smilies/happy.gif)

We have conducted several blind tests between Noise.io and some well-known hardware synths (of course we can not tell which synths in particular).

We offered people (musicians and non-musicians) to choose which sound they liked best (they did not know the source of the sound they listened to).

• In most cases, the people couldn't distinguish between Noise.io and hardware synths.

• Most people have agreed that Noise.io has a "warm and pleasant sound, without any evident digital harshness".
  
  
• After revealing, most people were amazed that "such a small device can sound like a real synth".

na wer sagts denn:

Novation Automap, Ableton Live Clip Control, Coming to the iPhone

(IMG:http://createdigitalmusic.com/images/2009/05/iphoneautomap.jpg)
By Peter Kirn



Novation's Automap is coming to the iPhone - meaning a handheld device can provide interactive visual and textual feedback about what you're manipulating in, say, an Ableton Live set.

Our friends at Hispasonic (Spanish-language) bring us the news. (Thanks, Xavier!) Photo credit: the new blog SaM's burrow:

Novation Automap for iPhone in beta stage (first screen captures)

That gives you a closer look. I'm not even going to try to wonder what happened to Novation's NDA. (We seem to be getting mostly "D.") But, Novation, if you're out there, trust me - buzz already suggests this is a good leak for you.

On the Ableton forums, some naysayers wonder why you'd want to run a Live set from an iPhone. The answer is, naturally, you wouldn't - I think they're missing the point. There are two larger issues here. One is, having a handheld device means there's just another intelligent way to control your music set. It might be something you prop atop your keyboard or drum pad controller as a small dashboard, or that you carry with you so you can hear the sound in a venue during sound check. The other message is, interactive control with actual labels on parameters is the future for a lot of devices, not just the iPhone. That's in stark contrast to the primitive way in which MIDI refers to everything in terms of (typically) meaningless numbers.

In fact, there are some promising other attempts to more easily see and manipulate clips away from your laptop screen, on devices like the Lemur. Thanks to the Live API (on which Max for Live's control of Live is also based), it's possible to finally get a full, controllable view of your clips. My only criticism would be that we still lack a single, open standard for this stuff. If Ableton Live supported OpenSoundControl (OSC) natively, it'd open all sorts of applications - without the hacking currently required. But that's a topic for another day, and not just directed at Ableton.

Here's the full text of this announcement from the Ableton forums. Stay tuned; hopefully we'll hear official news soon.
