Introducing the OhBac 2000 for OP1

2013-05-20T14:06:00.000+01:00

I thought this was quite interesting. Here's the video description:

Beware: Boring video and low quality sounds. Raspberry Pi that copies contents of Album and Tracks and also uploads Track 1 to Soundcloud.

And the description that comes from Oh Pee Won:

Today I bought a Raspberry Pi for using with the OP1 and started programming directly. What it does after a few hours of coding:

Whenever I connect a OP1 and set it to disk mode it copies ALBUM and TAPE to the RaspPIs SD-card.
Then it copies Album Track 1 to Soundcloud.
Two odd examples of autouploaded songs:

Integra Live, interesting modular environment, and it's coming to the iPad

I saw this at Music Tech Fest at the weekend and asked them about a mobile version. See the tweet below to see what they said ...

We’re working on it!RT @palmsounds: Hmm, integralive looks like a load of fun but it should be on an iPad not on the desktop

Sonic Logic 1.1 arrives with virtual MIDI and much more besides

2013-05-20T09:01:00.000+01:00

Now things get interesting with Sonic Logic 1.1 adding virtual MIDI. I'm going to enjoy trying out the new version very soon.

Here's what's new in version 1.1:

Virtual MIDI:
Virtual MIDI allows you to send MIDI signals to other iOS apps that receive it.
Turn on virtual MIDI in the settings menu, all outgoing MIDI singals will also output through "Sonic Logic Virtual MIDI" connection.

Undo / Redo:
The undo and redo buttons allow you to undo and redo your last edit actions.
Most actions are undoable, but some are not (like deleteing screens).

Value Tracking:
Value tracking allows you to track what MIDI values are sent out for a specific component.
Turn this feature on in the settings menu. You can select between permanent or temporary value trackers

Screen Duplication:
Duplicate the current screen by pressing the duplicate button.

Minimum / Maximum values:
Control the minimum and maximum MIDI values that XY pads and sliders output.
Edit this option individually for each component in the detailed edit screen.

Additional Changes:

Switches are now an indivitual components and not a part of the button component.
You can now set if you want the "add component" bar to be visible when you are not in edit mode, change this option in the settings menu.
Bug fixes.
