Playing with BeatMaker

I hung out with Richee after my family reunion on the 16th, he shot this video on his flip.

Like I said, I love BeatMaker.

The Latop Bag was made by Alexis for my birthday, she’s awesome.

iPod Touch/iPhone Music Apps Part… Umm 2 ish?

I am pleased as punch to see this constant flow of music apps in the iTunes App Store.

BeatMaker for the iPhone/iPod Touch

I purchased BeatMaker the instant I found out it was available. I even went so far as to record a review of it for Mac OS Ken a few weeks ago. Tons of functionality, and each new version keep bringing loads of improvements (they just added midi exporting) though I do have to say, there are some ways in which is is VERY lacking; a simple keyboard would be nice, multiple kits on a single track, ect…

iDrum is a close second. By far the most intuitive sequencer I have seen on a mobile device, a sleek interface and wide range of preset hits and kits. The downside is the lack of desktop syncing (BeatMaker has a desktop app that can easily sync with the software) and how limited it is feature wise.

In the Midi arena we have iTM MidiLab which is for me a killer app. It’s basically a midi Keyboard/Drum Matrix/XY Pad that works over WiFi. It comes in 4 flavors, a free app that demos all 3 types of function, as well as 3 other apps (paid) thatare more fleshed out versions of the demo apps. This is a dream come true for me…

More half assed reviews as things are released…
