Stay tuned 
Siri on iPhone 4S lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. Ask Siri to do things just by talking the way you talk. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back. Siri is so easy to use and does so much, you’ll keep finding more and more ways to use it.

TableDrum – iPhone app that turns anything into a drum kit
Can’t afford proper drums? Well in that case this one might be for you:
Ever dreamt of becoming a drummer without having to purchase, carry and assemble a complete drum set? The solution is simple; gear up with some office supplies, a pair of headphones, your favourite Apple iOS device and unleash the power of your pocket-sized drum set.
You can now build your own virtual drum set from practically anything. Music applications where users tap the screen are things of the past. Welcome to the future!
More info:
TableDrum is an Augmented Audio application that allows you to sync the sound of any real object and trigger a real time response of high quality drum sounds.
You can now build your own drumset from practically anything. Drum applications where users tap the screen are things of the past. This is the future!
————————————————-
Take it to the streets, show your kitchen table who’s the boss or simply let your stuff feel the rhythm.
With the TableDrum application the world is now your virtual drum set. You can sync the sound of basically any real object to your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and link it to high quality drum samples of your choice.
Included in the app is the Classic Rock kit with 8 high quality drum samples. By expanding your sound library with the Ethno & Jazz kit and Electro and Glitch kit you can get access to another 32 high quality sounds to play with.
Some things to get started
Gear up with a couple of pencils and some office supplies, each one with unique acoustic characteristics, to drum on!
Use headphones for best result.
To link a drum to a real physical object
1. Hold down a drum pad until it starts glowing.
2. Release and tap a real physical object several times (4-8) while the light fills the circle.
3. When the linking process is done, the rim of the pad will glow.
The app recognizes sound, so for the app to work at its best, the sounds you link should be different and distinguished. While you are playing, hit the object the same way as when you linked it.
To unlink a drum
1. Hold down the drum pad for one second. The rim stops glowing and is unlinked from the real physical object.
To change a drum sample
1. Press the menu button.
2. Slide through the different sample albums.
3. Click an album and then drag n’ drop the sound icons you want to use onto each drum pad.

Mixing 20 tracks in 10 minutes with Touch DJ Evolution on iPhone
Here is a cool teaser for an upcoming mixing app for iPhone:
Mix done 100% visually (without headphones), shows the usage of Auto-Sync and Auto-EQ features of Touch DJ Evolution. The app allows extremely easy, almost perfect instant mixing. The preparation phase for this mix was just loading the tracks an defining some cue points to mark entries and transitions. The tracks were loaded in alphabetical order (what is wrong in general, but good for demo purposes)
What happens in the video is simply navigating on cuepoints (by tapping them in the track waveform overview), engaging Auto-Sync at the right time, and ultimately moving the crossfader and loading another track.. App handles mantaining constant BPM of the mix through time-stretching the tracks, not pitch-shifting (although that setting is also possible, separate for each deck).
The application will hit AppStore soon, as a universal app for iPhone & iPad.
First picture of a new keytar for the iPhone
Ztar developer Starr Labs has introduced iTar, an upcoming controller app for iPhone and iPad:
We here at Starr Labs have been working on the iTar, a MIDI guitar/instrument application for the iPhone and iPad.
The more we labor over what we want the iTar to accomplish, the more we expand its scope of control, programmability, customization, and interactivity. Think pages of customizable control screen surfaces with dozens of controller and trigger types, arranged and implemented however you like.
That said, we invite any serious programmers/developers to join us in the iTar conversation.
Seriously, contact Harvey Starr harvey (at) starrlabs.com and be a part of the Starr Labs team that unveils the best MIDI guitar/instrument application onto the world, the iTar!
