Quasar: new multitasking behavior for iOS Music Apps
“Trying a new Tweak for the jailbroken iPad called Quasar. It is great for playing more than one music app in the same screen at the same time and also for changing the behavior of some apps working together.”
Here’s one more demo:
Enjoy
Here’s a new interesting iPad App: Arpeggionome
“Demo of Arpeggionome, an amazing app for generating arpeggios. Lots of customisation. Lack of midi the only downside, which I hope the developers will be including in a future release.”

Forss – Ecclesia App Preview: Church-Inspired Electronic Music
Ecclesia App coming 2nd of May.
See more at http://forssmusic.com
Swedish-born artist and technologist Eric Wahlforss has been busy. His album is an app, appropriately for someone who is the co-founder and CTO of SoundCloud. Recordings of strings, choirs, organs and ambient noise from church concerts which have been cut up into fragments and rearranged into a new mosaic of music, and recordings of wooden, stone and metal objects which make up the beats and percussion. These are the plosive, rhythmical noises that provide the link between the traditional to modern electronica.
The live show premieres May 2 in Berlin at Berghain/Panorama Bar, with the app out the same day. The album itself releases on June 12.
New free app lets you create audio time-lapses
phonoLapse is a free desktop app for Mac and Windows that lets you create audio time-lapses.
The software records slices of audio and compiles them into an audio file, much like time-lapse photography. You can control the length of the audio slices and the interval between samples.
It’s available to download at the soundplusdesign site.
“This time lapse follows 24 hours of my life. I wrote a Max/MSP patch to capture a 100ms slice of sound and a frame from my webcam every 144 seconds.
I call it time lapse phonography because the focus is on sound, not on the visuals. I added the visuals because I find it interesting to see and hear the space rather than just hear it.”

Check out the new Paint2Sound app
“Paint2Sound is a neat little free application for converting any .jpg or .bmp image or any picture you care to draw/paint, into a soundscape. Each pixel row represents a frequency band. The application synthesizes sine waves for each pixel row with an instantaneous amplitude determined by the brightness of each pixel in the pixel row, and then sums together all the sine waves. There is user control over various parameters like sample rate, sound duration, how frequencies are distributed across the pixel rows and the overall level in the mix of each sine wave. Can never have enough wacky sound sources I say…”
Propellerhead Software – Closer look at Figure
This iPhone app is like a mini-Reason. The combination of super-bright screen in a dark room freaked out my camera, but the description and audio get the point across.
