Well Tempered price rise
As announced in the end of january, the price for Well Tempered has increased, and will continue to do so for the next couple of months. If you want it at a reduced price, be sure to get it now before the next price increase.
Well Tempered is an early music tuner for the iPhone. It [...]
Well Tempered Status
I’m working on a couple of updates for Well Tempered, both for adding more temperaments and for refining the UI after a couple of users have been so kind as to provide useful suggestions. That’s great, I love that kind of feedback! What’s not so good is that Well Tempered is now being [...]
synthPond
While checking out other OSC applications than pOSCa and OSCar in the AppStore I came across Synthpond lite that looks really cool. Just thought I’d let you know
Three little iPhone apps
Good fun: today I submitted three little iPhone apps for review, hopefully they’ll be up in the AppStore within long. The first is Well Tempered, my tuning application, that’ll be for sale. It’s for tuning early music instruments such as harpsichords and organs and will have many early music temperaments. Do see the product page. [...]
Supercollider and bubble game
Here is a nice link to Patrick using the bubble game to create OSC signals that will generate sound in SuperCollider. Soon, he can use pOSCa and OSCar as well
Objective C for Max 5
I bought my upgrade of Max 5 yesterday, and I’m of course eagerly waiting for my license code. Trying to put Objective-C and Cocoa into all that I do, I found Rémy Muller’s blogpost about writing Objective-C externals for Max. Also, Electrotap has posted ObjectiveMax on Google Code. It’s dual-licensed GPL/Commercial which of [...]
No CoverFlow for shared iTunes libraries
I’m not a frequent user of CoverFlow, but now that I wanted to use it on my shared iTunes library in my living room from the Windows iTunes client I noticed that I cannot select neither CoverFlow nor in an album list. I’m stunned and looking forward to trying it out on my MBP
iTunes@work
These instructions are a great 5 minute guide to using iTunes at work. My mini at home already has SSH access enabled, so fire up Putty, make a tunnel, install the helper app and Boom! You’ve got music at work
What’s up with Airtunes?
Airtunes is/was Apple’s way of putting music in other rooms. It came with the Airport Express, but when the Airport Extreme was updated, Airtunes was nowhere to be found. Worse, Airtunes can only be streamed to one target?!? Now that Apple has released yet two new WiFi audio products, the iPod touch and the iPhone, [...]
No Airtunes update
Tuesday’s Apple announcement held many goodies, but Apple seems to be going nowhere on Airtunes. Airport Extreme had been updated, but no Audio Out. And with my Airport Express, I cannot simply add more Airport Expresses to play the same set of music in every room of my house: Because iTunes and the Express use [...]
pdj – Java for Pure Data
Too cool! Today I found pdf which is Pure Data’s take on mxj. It’s supposed to be API compatible with mxj, which is great because that’s what I use for all my Java-based externals. Suddenly I feel like I’m in the open again after having been digging myself further and further into Max/MSP. Don’t get [...]
Max toolbox
Nathanaël Lécaudé is working on the Max toolbox which makes working with Max/MSP more efficient with nice hot-keys. Look at the demo video and decide if you give it a try.
XCode Max/MSP externals
David has written new instructions on compiling Max/MSP externals using XCode
Ugly VSTi Host
There is a great VSTi host for free available for mac at reFuse Software. It’s ugly and it does the job great! And it’s free. So I’ve finally been able to test the VSTi I made with Max/MSP and it works like a charm.
Google Maps?
Trying to research what areas of Greece the eight church modes came from I used Google Maps. But to my surprise, neither searching for geographic places nor getting details of Greek cities worked very well with Google Maps for Mac. I hope Google will aquire more detailed shots for cities outside the US and make [...]
Mattheson on perfection
I’d like to quote Mattheson from Der vollkommene Capellmeister. In his foreword (I read from the english translation that’s close to impossible to get hold of these days. Publishers take note: this book requires a reprint!) he writes:
In France they say:
A passable meldoy or verse
Is not worth the devil.
Scholars are all of the opinion that [...]
iTunes music store in Norway
According to Kulturnytt on NRK Alltid nyheter, iTunes music store is coming to Norway April 28th. Does this mean it’s coming to Sweden and Denmark at the same time?
