The iPad Turned 1 on January 27

I just realized I missed the anniversary of the iPad. It was announced by Steve Jobs on January 27, 2010. For a fun look back, take a look at this post started on January 26, 2010. Be sure to check out the polls and the comments. Happy belated birthday iPad!

BTW, a new model iPad should be just around the corner. If you are considering one, you might want to hold off. Prices on the second hand market should go down.

The Expanded Luminist Garden by Folktek

via Folktek

"Built by Request - an expanded version of the folktek favorite - the luminist garden by Arius Blaze. Larger sound board, multiple pickups and layers of routable processing - delay from notated tight to about 1.5 seconds, two selectable wave reverb/antique echo and attack filtration. The result is an extremely lush accoustic electronic environment."

noteplex now available

See the video in this post.

"Create music visually!

The music happens before your eyes. Each node has a tone associated with it. When a pulse hits a node, nodes create pulses. The resulting chain reaction creates a noteplex song!

* Multisampled instruments and synths: Three complete drumkits -- a Rhodes-like piano -- multiple bass sounds -- lead synths -- strings -- and more! Add your own samples to create an even more unique noteplex.

* Online sharing of plexes: Share your best work online and explore what other noteplexers are creating. Favorite your faves and see what's getting attention.

* A natural interface: Zoom, drag, draw, edit. The editing panels can even be minimized so you can enjoy the display your creations make. noteplex lets you focus on creating.

Everything from drum loops to "Happy Birthday" to extended compositions can be created with noteplex. This radically different paradigm for music will push you to new and unexpected places creatively -- and it's fun, too!"
