Press Release
"Amidio Inc has released Star Guitar - an unique iPhone/iPod Touch application that enables the user to play automatic guitar rhythms, both strumming and picking types.

Playing guitar has never been so simple before. Star Guitar is based upon patented one-screen interface "StarChords", which allows immediate selection of 144 chords. Those chords can be strummed in a manual way (thanks to the "SmartStrumming" technology), or automatically. All sounds are generated in realtime with the new "SampleMagic" technology, which employs outstanding sound quality and realism.

Star Guitar is the ideal instument to play favorite songs, or create and record new songs on the go. Almost any song can be played with just 10-20 screen taps. There are 20 different guitar rhythm patterns (pop, reggae, jazz, ballad) in Star Guitar 1.0 and the library is easily extendable. There are 3 guitars by default (Acoustic Silver, Mellow Jazz, Electro Chorused).

Users can also utilize voice recorder and record guitar and voice simultaneously. Among the advanced features are .WAV export, built-in Wi-Fi server, direct export to Intua Beatmaker, overdub recording, loading custom loops for playing in the background, built-ib help.

Star Guitar is initially offered at $3.99. More info is available at http://amidio.com

You might recognize the Benge from these previous posts. His Twenty Systems is a must have for synth enthusiasts. The CD book is filled with images and details of the synths used. Highly recommended.

"Dubstep track I'm working on, getting the big modular synth involved. The bass tone is actually Nord Modular G2, but being processed through the modular, drums are 808 + some other stuff... hopefully will finish the track in the next couple weeks."

Let me know if the labels need updating...

Synth Fumbles... "Synthian Slips"

I did it again. I called and labeled the Yamaha CS01 a Casio. It's one of my most common synth fumbles. As much as I know it's a Yamaha, if I don't make the conscious association, I default to Casio. Obviously due to the look and size of the CS01. Another is the use of dashes for KORG and Yamaha in their model numbers. Yamaha does not use dashes, KORG does. It's CS01, not CS-01 and its MS-20, not MS20 for example. I know there are others, and you have caught me a number of times. I've been known to call the Micron and ION and vice versa for example. It's just the way it is... If you have any, feel free to share.
