New way to create cool mash-ups

Tweet

MiniMash, a new iPhone application that allows users to create fun mashups and DJ sets using their favorite songs, is now available for download from the iTunes store.

MiniMash syncs with iTunes playlists and uses a highly developed analysis algorithm to scans each track’s beat information. With MiniMash, users play tracks in rhythmic unison with one another, change the overall tempo, set loop points, change the pitch, crossfade, and more. The record function saves and shares users’ mini masterpiece via file sharing, email, or built-in SoundCloud support. In fact, the MiniMash website and blog hosts videos of mashups by MiniMash users from around the world.

Creator Daniel Iglesia makes music and media for humans, computers, and broad interactions of the two. He recently completed his doctorate at Columbia University where he studied at the Computer Music Center (CMC). He is currently a Visiting Instructor at the Pratt Institute, and a Visiting Lecturer at Princeton University, where he co-leads the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk). He recently gave a talk on PLOrk at the TEDx conference in Brooklyn.

Riffing on classic orchestral tune from The Conan The Barbarian Sound Track “The Orgy” to demonstrate that the iPod touch version of this thing is actually playable. About as playable as Mugician.

Have you purchased a Tenori On – time to get rid of that one too

Tweet

Yamaha has released a simulation of the Tenori-On on the iPad. works on the iPhone, too. The iOS version of the world-renowned TENORI-ON brings you a completely new musical interface.  Even if you don’t know much about music, you can create music intuitively as if you were arranging sounds in space. The music that you see on the 16 × 16 grid of buttons is the music that is performed.

On the 16 × 16 grid of buttons, basically, the horizontal direction is time, and the vertical direction is pitch. By laying sounds on these buttons, you can combine rhythms and melodies to produce music. A button will glow when its sound is produced. The movements of the glowing lights produce a visual performance. 16€ isn’t cheap but cheaper than the hardware was/is. It has all modes and functions of the original. it can sync to other TNRs via the Game Center (from Apple). the data on the Hardware SD Cards can be load to the App as well. not said: if it loads a sample stack of 48 sounds as the original and sending MIDI signals isn’t clear, but for that price I’d assume it has to… Since Yamaha offer a MIDI connection kit it is very very likely it sends MIDI (iOS 4.3). since the built in sounds are quite strange I just like to check for it’s sample upload capability.

There are six different types of performance modes that you can select for each layer. You can make elaborate music by combining different modes. In score mode, the most fundamental of the modes, you can arrange sounds horizontally (temporally) and vertically (by pitch). In the exciting random mode, the sounds that you arrange are not just played in order—the melody and rhythm constantly change as twists are added. In draw mode, you can perform music by tracing your finger across the buttons as if drawing a picture. In bounce mode, the glowing lights are like bouncing balls that produce sound when they fall. In push mode, you can continuously change the sound as you perform. In solo mode, which is fun for solo performances, you can easily adjust the speed of repetition and the pitch.

Time for a Lion in the Cloud – Apple WWDC

Tweet

Steve Jobs and a team of Apple executives will kick off the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote address on Monday, June 6 at 10:00 a.m. At the keynote, Apple will unveil its next generation software – Lion, the eighth major release of Mac OS® X; iOS 5, the next version of Apple’s advanced mobile operating system which powers the iPad®, iPhone® and iPod touch®; and iCloud®, Apple’s upcoming cloud services offering.

Apple has confirmed maybe the worst kept secret in Silicon Valley: It’s been working on a cloud service, and will announce it at the June 6 Worldwide Developers Conference.

So now we know annual developer’s conference will unveil “iCloud®, Apple’s upcoming cloud services offering,” but we don’t know yet what it is, or what exactly will reside at the domain name it may have bought for $4.5 million in April.

iCloud could be the mythical iTunes streaming service, a possibility that is looking increasingly likely now that Apple has most of the major record labels signed up for it, in a space pioneered by Amazon and Google, which has no such deals. Or it could be Apple’s version of DropBox, the amazing sync and storage service that currently glues together the whole iOS ecosystem along with its desktop service.

Or it could be yet another abortion of an internet service, like Mobile Me, iDisk and Ping before it.

Whatever it is, it’ll have to be good. DropBox is already the default file system for iOS, and can be used by any developer, on almost any other OS. If iCloud is to succeed, it needs to be just as available to developers. ITunes streaming, too, needs to be something special. A “cloud locker” service like Amazon and Google’s is almost pointless, and we already have amazing streaming services like Spotify and Rdio.

WWDC will feature more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers. Mac® developers will see and learn how to develop world-class Mac OS X Lion applications using its latest technologies and capabilities. Mobile developers will be able to explore the latest innovations and capabilities of iOS and learn how to greatly enhance the functionality, performance and design of their apps. All developers can bring their code to the labs and work with Apple engineers.
