The only thing missing is a MIDI cable for controlling your outboard gear. I have MiniMusic which is a great suite of software for sequencing synths. You can see some previous posts here. If you want to control your synths with this, I'd recommend checking out the Minimusic Hardware page for more info. Via DK.

Chocopoolp

I swear my blog reader must be busted, because I don't remember seeing this post on Music Thing. Chocopoolp (nice name) makes a couple of music apps for the Palm. The first is Bhajis Loops a sampler/sequencer and Microbe (1 drum machine, 2 synthesizers, and 18 effects). Click here for choco-poop, chocolate poop, I mean Chocopoolp.com.

An Interview with Mutable Instruments Olivier Gillet

via Art Music & Technology

"I mention it during the intro, during the interview and during the outro - I'm a fanboy of the work of Olivier Gillet. As the designer/developer behind Palm App "Bhajis Loops" and "Microbe" (as Chocopoolp) and the Mutable Instruments modules (with Braids as one of my alltime favorite modules), Olivier is on the front lines of music technology creativity. If you haven't yet heard of his work, I'm glad to be introducing you to him.

In this interview, we talk about Chocopoolp's creation, how this morphed into Mutable instruments, and how a DSP-trained student became a leader in the mostly-analog world of modular synthesizers. We also learn a little about how he works, and where he is taking Mutable for the future. The conversation flys around a bit, but Olivier keeps me on track...

Enjoy!"

The podcast was downloadable so I popped it up on SoundCloud to embed and have in the archives. The interview is by Art Music & Technology.

Acid in my house - Revealed

The answer to this post.
"Here's the answer to my earlier video, I used Microbe and Bhaji's Loops by Chocopoolp software. These two excellent pieces of sortware run on Palm OS5 PDA's, you can find more info at www.chocopoolp.com

I started with Microbe to create the groove then exported it into Bhaji's Loops, I added a vocal "keep it acid" using the PDA's built in mic, then just messed about with it. This example does not use anywhere near the full potential of Bhaji's Loops, it's just me arsing about, I will do a proper version of it and upload later.

No other fx or editing was used, just recorded straight into my computer.

:) Keep it acid!"

Z4 Music and Griff - Pocket Samplers

Griff


Z4 Music


Kirk emailed me asking if I knew of any IPod sized samplers. The smallest hardware sampler that came to mind was the Yamaha SU10. I then remembered there was Griff for the Pocket PC and possibly others. I did a quick search for Kirk and found Z4 Music and Griff. There is also my favorite Sequencing software, MiniMusic for the Palm with SynthPad. Finally there's the M-Audio MicroTrack and the Edirol R-1 and R-09, but I beleive they are more straight audio recording devices rather than samplers. I figured I'd put up a post for others as well. If you know of any other IPod sized samplers, feel free to comment.

Update: A couple more:
Via the comments: The Roland MS-1
Via Kirk: The Boss SP-202.

Update via David Kristian in the comments:
"Chocopoolp also makes some decent Palm OS apps, including Bhajis Loops, which combines sampling, sequencing and effects. http://www.chocopoolp.com/"

In it we discuss his route into music technology, his module development process, the importance of daydreaming, and some quite surprising facts regarding the size of his company, and much more besides.
