MeeBlip Synthesis Reference Guide: Knobs, Switches, Sounds

via MeeBlip Noisepages

"The MeeBlip synthesis reference guide is now complete. Every knob, every switch is documented. And since we know everyone from first-time synth owners to serious coders are picking up the MeeBlip, we don’t make any assumptions. I’ve tried to document synthesis concepts for those who haven’t seen them before, but I’ve also tried to include details."

Amos 1.2 Demo

YouTube via anythinghonest | February 20, 2011 |

"Amos is a reactive MIDI instrument. It sends MIDI notes to desktop software and outboard gear. Think MIDI wind-chimes crossed with a pinball machine.

This video shows some of the new features added to Amos 1.2. Independent MIDI channels per disc and a re-designed settings panel are the highlights."

Amos: Another MIDI OSC Source - Anything Honest
iPads on eBay

"Amos is a reactive MIDI iPad instrument. It sends MIDI notes through a USB MIDI interface or over a wireless network to trigger sounds from software synths, MIDI-capable hardware or desktop DAWs like GarageBand, ProTools and Live...

In Amos's physics-simulated room, collisions between objects trigger MIDI notes. Up to three duration discs (half note, quarter note, eighth note) can be grabbed and thrown around the room. There are three 6-octave keyboards that can be configured via the Settings menu. When a disc strikes a keyboard key, it takes on that key‘s note value and emits that value for each collision until a new key is struck. Tilting the device controls the gravity in the room.

USB MIDI Requirements:
• iPad
• Apple iPad USB Camera Connection Kit
• Class-compliant USB MIDI interface

WiFi MIDI Requirements:
• A Mac, Linux, or Windows computer on the same WiFi network as your iPad
• A copy of the free DSMI Server running on your Mac, Linux, or Windows computer
• Some kind of MIDI capable desktop app (Garage Band, Pro Tools, Logic, Live, Sonar, etc.)

See http://anythinghonest.com/amos for further setup instructions."

"** The perfect toy for fans of giant battle robots **

Hands up everyone who loves giant stompy robots! Yeah, I thought so! Who wouldn't want to stomp around in a battle mecha of their own? But parking space for a 30-foot killer robot is hard to come by these days — and don't even get me started on the fuel bills!

So what do you do if you need your giant robot fix but can't afford the running costs? Stomping around your room swinging your arms just isn't the same... it doesn't sound right, for starters!

That's where SOUNDROID RAMPAGE comes in. Fire it up, hold your iPhone or iPod Touch in your hand, and stomp around like the robot you dream of — and SOUNDROID RAMPAGE makes the sounds!

The electrical hum! The giant, clanking footsteps! The whirring motors! No need to fiddle with controls: our motion sensing tracks your movement, and makes the sounds automatically!

Plus: SOUNDROID RAMPAGE is equipped with rapid-fire lasers, for when merely crushing the unworthy underfoot just isn't cutting it! Or charge your lasers first to increase their sheer awesomeness!

Not just sounds: SOUNDROID RAMPAGE features a gorgeous swirling interactive lightshow that responds to your movements and commands, and digital readouts that track your robot status.
