iPad - Making your own Music Apps with Codify Codea

Trying to learn this app Codify, soon to be renamed to Codea. Reading through the forums, beginners book and copying code posted to try and get a idea of how lua programming works.

What I thought when I first saw it was not Game Making, but the ability to make sound generating apps although the games I've seen on it look pretty cool. The app is still in the early stages but I'm sure some of the experienced programmers will have this down pack in a few weeks as they get into it and the app gets updates to handle more complex code.

Heres a Screen Shot (Top image) of the Demo Drum Machine code I tweaked and added a BPM Slider to control the BPM in real time, gui color and I Also Changed up some of the sounds. The bottom image is a Polyphonic Keyboard a Codea Forum member made that sounds pretty cool. The apps surface is just being scratched so expect some impressive apps in the next few months.

My Game Boy DMG-01 LSDJ & Arduino UNO!


You already know its about to Go DOWN! Mad Projects. I already got the Game Boy and LSDJ doing back-flips. PSP too. Sound design is truly sickening on this thing. Going to Hook it up to my MPC through MIDI in a minute. Check the OG iPhone 1 in the Background. :)

Stay Tuned for my Korg Monotron / Miditron V2 Video in about a week! Retarded!

My Roland M-10MX Battery & AC Powered Portable Mixer is here!


Might do a Un-boxing and a Review although I already started getting busy with it. 1 of the Best things I bought all year!

MPC1000 - JJOS & Arduino Midi Controller (JJfader)



Description:
An "old school" midi controller with 8 faders and 5-pin din connector. Inspired by the last JJOSXL releases i decided to build a compact no nonsense controller for my MPC1000. Built around an ATmega328 you could call it an Arduino standalone. It uses a 4051 multiplexer to allow for 8 inputs. I added a second DC power connector so i can piggy back the controllers power(consumtion is very low) off an adapter for other small gear. It has a voltage regulator and can handle something like 7-15 volts input. This is a rough tryout using Goldbaby's MPC60/TR-707 samples.

A synthtopia comment that made me think about iOS Devs

The comment was basically saying how some iOS Developers act funny style when asked about a iPad or Universal verion of their iPhone based app, but on their Youtube DEMO videos they are showing off the app on a iPad.

BeatMakerTV: Korg Monotron Miditron Tease



All I got is 3 Things to say... Sick Sound, I can't stop playing with it and wait till you see my next video.

Throwback: My Sony PS2 Linux System Setup from 2003


Still Got The Whole Setup and A First Gen 60 GB PS3 Linux System That still has the OtherOS.

Miditron is Alive!


Midi Working!  I tested the Midi with BS16 and Sequenced it with Little Midi Machine. I need 3 more Parts tho. A new 100k Pot (bought the wrong one), Diode, and A Universal Adapter/Connector so I can Cut the Wires in between the Monotron and Midi Board for a much cleaner install. I will be able to disconnect the board from the Monotron with ease and use it with other projects. My Dremel is ready to go.

Once I hit Fry's and Radio Shack in the AM, I should be looking real good. I might even Paint or Dye this Bad Boy. Most likely Dye the white Parts!
All the little techniques I learned over the years really going to pay off for a real custom Miditron.
More Pics and a vid coming Soon...

Alesis io Dock: A MIDI/XLR iPad Dock



Now if Beat Maker 2 & Nanostudio Stop Playing around, implement CoreMidi the right way and Update their apps for the iPad Screen Res, we might have something here. AKAI needs to stop Playing Games too. Multitrack would be Perfect for this also with CoreMidi Added (Still Slick the way it is Though). We need new Players in the Game. IMO

Garage Band & Xewton Music Studio is Already set for this.

iPad Midi Touch ASRX Pro Template


A Midi Touch Template I'm working on for the ASRX. This is the real reason I wanted MIDI on the iPad. I'll be doing Templates for all my gear with hidden midi functions. MPC 2500 Next.

I'll upload this one for download as soon as I get it the way I want. Everything's working, just perfecting the layout.

PPG Wave 2.2 Synthesizer "Modulator"

iPad iPhone - Beat Twirl (Chop Samples)

Beat Twirl is a "beat slicer" app. The app lets you analyze existing sounds on detect their rhythm with its note onset algorithms. With Beat Twirl you can work with drum loops and rhythm patterns, easily enhancing them with additional percussion sound, or create new patterns.

With Beat Twirl you can:
  • Change the tempo (time) of drum loops without changing the pitch.
  • Analyze percussion patterns and find the underlying timing.
  • Mix-in additional percussion sounds, or replace the original sounds
  • Export single beats from a sound file.

iPad DOSPad CoreMidi Control PS2 controller Interface


CoreMidiControl is a simple AVR microprocessor based project for hooking up PS2 controller with iOS device that support CoreMidi. Apple iOS doesn't provide support for attaching game controllers directly into iDevices. This project overcomes the limitation by implementing a hardware device that pretends to be a class compliant MIDI device. Controller movements and button presses are then transferred via MIDI messages and converted at the receiving end back to controller events.
Included in the project is a sample application for iPad that displays controller thumbstick movements and button states. I've also included a patched version of DOSpad that let's you play DOS games with PS2 controller via joystick or arrow pad emulation.
Although the iOS API supports multiple players (controllers) the hardware part doesn't. However, adding support for additional controllers, mouse etc should be trivial.
