Teaser – Genome MIDI remix pads
Demo of the ‘Remix pads’ coming in version 1.1.0
White Noise Software has announced an update to Genome MIDI Sequencer, its software sequencer for the iPad. Here’s what’s new in Genome MIDI Sequencer 1.1.0:
- Fixes for playhead visual positioning issues
- ‘Create’ option for Grooves (create a groove template from a pattern, such as recorded MIDI notes).
- Remix Pads
- File management – Delete, email, Open in… (for opening files in other apps including Dropbox)
- Improvements to Zooming – Zooming in and out should work a little better now in general. When zoomed out, the view now smoothly zooms in instead of abruptly zooming
- New zoom mode. In additioned to the standard ‘fixed’ zoom (where X and Y scale is locked together), there’s an ‘advanced’ mode that lets you zoom X and Y are independently zoomable.
- OMAC App Fast switch – This allows you to quickly switch between compatible apps (not every app supports this yet) via a menu in Genome. The button for this is on the sequencer page.
- Important Change: Genome’s virtual port is no longer ‘on’ by default. You have to enable it via the config menu. The reason for this is that this is a frequent point of confusion for users. Having a virtual port can lead to issues where apps get connected twice (resulting in doubled tempos and other weird cases). It’s only necessary for Genome to have a virtual MIDI port when other apps don’t have one of their own. Only a few apps _don’t_ have virtual ports (such as Animoog), but for the majority of apps you won’t need it on.
- Bugfixes and stability improvements
Not in 1.1.0 but being worked on:
- MIDI Learn (for binding controllers to Patterns and Song steps) – I had wanted to get this in 1.1.0, but there are important bug fixes that need to get out now. This will be one of the first things I implement for the next update.
All you can eat DSI Tempest DreamProbe Sounds

Tutorial: How to Warp a Track with Drifting Tempo
In this second warping tutorial, we take a look at warping an older hip-hop track with drifting tempo throughout the song. This warping process can be used to warp songs with live drummers, older hip-hop and r&b, disco, soul and other relatively “difficult” kinds of music with beats that aren’t quantized to a fixed grid.
Five videos featuring the AVR Synth – Elby Designs
Here are five videos featuring the new AVR Synth, below are some background info. The AVR SYNTH is a monophonic “virtual analog” synth based designed by Jarek Ziembicki. The synthesis architecture is simple:- two DCO’s, a DCF, and a DCA. There is also an LFO and an AR/ASR envelope generator.
The remaining videos can be found here >>
just tweaking this new synth
…the AVRSYN from Elby designs…. trying to find its sweet spots.“The AVRSYN is a monophonic “virtual analog” synth based
on the Atmel AT90S8535 microcontroller. It was originally designed by Jarek Ziembicki.
His aim was to check to see if a simple micro-processing chip could be used for sound synthesis.
Paul Maddox later adapted this design design using a
ATMEGA16 instead as the AT90S8535 is no longer in production.I think they succeeded.
The AVR consists of
two DCO’s, a DCF, and a DCA. There is also an LFO and an AR/ASR envelope generator.All sounds are from the AVR.
Thanks to Blake C for the tweaking.Thanks to Matt from RhythmActive for the AVRSYNTH

Delta Modulator (Xfer Records) DEMO
A short video demonstration of Delta Modulator VST/AU plugin by Xfer Records.
Xfer Records has released Delta Modulator, a free bitcrusher VST/AU plugin based on a signal modulation technique found in Nintendo NES video game console’s delta modulation channel.
I just threw Delta Modulator together out of mild curiosity of how it sounded compared to traditional sr/bit-reduction.
