SMule: Sonic Vox

"Sonic Vox, for iPhone, by SMule.

"Instant change. Instant fun.

Tired of your same old voice? Seeking a little vocal variety? Get into character with Smule's Sonic Vox, the real-time voice shifter.

With Sonic Vox you can alter your voice with a swipe of your finger. Want to cross over to the Dark Side? Slide your finger to the left. Now say it. You know you want to. "Luke, I am your…"

Or maybe you are feeling conflicted about having lost a "preciousssss" ring? Move your finger back and forth horizontally and go ahead, rant on.

Transform your voice even more. Simply swipe your finger up and down and hear what happens… happens… happens…

Sonic Vox is easy to use. You can test it out by talking in your phone. It's even better with headphones. It is most effective, however, if you plug your iPhone into speakers and use your phone like a real microphone.

Adventurous? Connect your iPhone (speaker-out) to your MacBook (mic-in). Switch the system preference to Line-In. Launch Sonic Vox. Launch Skype. Make that call.

We hope you enjoy Sonic Vox. Try other entertaining apps from Smule, including the acclaimed Sonic Lighter and Sonic Boom.

Sonic Vox requires an iPhone or iPod Touch 2nd Generation with Mic."

Team records 'music' from stars

"Scientists have recorded the sound of three stars similar to our Sun using France's Corot space telescope.

A team writing in Science journal says the sounds have enabled them to get information about processes deep within stars for the first time.

If you listen closely to the sounds of each star - by clicking on the media in this page - you'll hear a regular repeating pattern.

These indicate that the entire star is pulsating."

You can listen to the stars and find more info on the BBC News. via UniQue Werkx

Folktek Drum Scape

images at this auction
"The Drum Scape is a part of an ongoing body of work entitled "Quadrum", a series utilizing analog drum sounds. These works, especially the more current pieces are capable of big authentic analog sound and beautiful drone scapes.

This particular piece is a simplified version of the two other more recent works: the Impressionist Drum Scape and the Simian Drum Scape in that it is stripped of the delay section. It is, however, capable of the same sounds as heard in the sound samples of the Impressionist Drum Scape, subtract the delay, the internal synthesis is essentially identical. There are also several videos of the Simian Drum Scape that you should consider watching if you're interested as this piece does contain all of the same synthesis.

This particular piece has more drum pads, each of the metal plates is a trigger which activates one or more of the four primary waves. Each has a natural decay and with exception to the snare (white noise) each also has pitch control. Up to three waves can be played simultaneously for drone scapes.

In addition there are four jacks which act as triggers to sync to external modular synths or sequencers. Two switches have been added to hold waves for working with the drones. A 1/4" output, volume control, bright white lamp (not shown lit) and a power adapter."
