this recording can then be mailed out or stuck on a website that collects these recordings.

And now Only A has been submitted. It'll be free, because .. it will be!

About 2 years dawdling in the making, it sports:

• more timbres
• two new counting and patterns evolving timbre classes.
- counting timbres plays the reeds in preset, predictable permutations
- pattern timbres are more programmable in that they play by
adding harmonics to a timbre in sequence
• recording of your drone
• Audio Paste of that recording
• improved Tone Spiral helps you specify higher and lower intervals
• enhanced interval specification language. That is to say in small print:

You can now divide any interval equally, not just an octave by specifying
degree:divisions@numerator/denominator, e.g.
3:5@4/3 , which is the third degree of a perfect forth divided in 5 equal tones (298.83 cents)
8:17@3, which is the eighth degree of three octaves divided in 17 equal parts (895.04 cents)
You can specify that an interval is relative to the interval of the previous reed:
"[interval specification]
interval resolves to:
reed 1: 1/1 1/1
reed 2: "9/8 9/8
reed 3: "10/9 5/4
note that this will be changed to an absolute interval if you
subsequently use the Tone spiral.

• Ability to shut the drone off in the background (from the settings app)
• a Big PDF of instructions as opposed to the mysterious interactive instructions.
You can download them right off of http://www.jhhl.net/iPhone/Droneo
• bug fixes and interface tweaks.

That said, 1.3.1 is in the works, which SHOULD have Audiobus support, better 5" phone support and the cool new transposition button in the Tone Spiral. I hope to get that out before 2015.


Happy Droning, tell your friends, leave ratings and reviews!]]> Droneo http://JHHL.NET/nucleus/InHope.php?itemid=319 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 13:25:38 -0700 http://JHHL.NET/nucleus/InHope.php?itemid=318
I hope to follow on soon with the Audiobus Version, which is almost working.

Ad-Hoc testers can find the new copy at the usual place.

If you've enjoyed the hands-on instant feedback polyphonic thrills of my app, synthicity itself, you may really enjoy the hands-on polyphonic granular audio warping thrills of Ellipsynth (1.0).
The screen is a little more crowded with controls, but it's got a lot of the same philosophy: get your digits on audio.

There's no real reason to call it Ellipsynth, other than the little ellipses (⬭) which dot the screen , and occasional line up like ellipses (…). This pun's for you!

In a Nutshell:
- It's a universal app that plays nicer of course on iPad and iPad mini formats, but will play on your touch. It needs iOS 5.1 and up.
- A sound loop is represented by a colored ellipse. Its position in a grid determines the speed that loop is played and the pitch that loop is played at independently.
- It has ways to constrain those positions to musically useful values.
- You can also interactively drag around the ellipse to new positions within the loop.
- You can record your own loop to manipulate,
- You can import a loop via Sonoma Wireworks' Audio Copy & Paste. For instance you can make a loop in Tondo and import it into Ellipsynth. Ellipsynth will be joining the roster of ACP compatible clients when I get around to sending them some materials.
- You can record an Ellipsynth session and export it though Audio Copy & Paste for further processing.
- Comes with a small number of preset sounds that I didn't have to license, but you can also drop in your own sounds with the iTunes Document interface.


I've really been working on this on and off for more than a year, so I'm happy it got out the door. I've used it in a small number of musical projects that you may have heard, like my track on WFMU's Sun Ra Remix Album, Rood of the Somoc, (which actually features Tondo and Droneo as well), and my entry in the 60x60 Project, Minute by Minute (which also uses Minute).

I'm still trying the get the cat to play it to make a viral YouTube video for it, but I'm probably going to have to do it myself. Meanwhile, you can look at Ellipsynth's page on jhhl.net:

Have fun, tell your friends, leave a review!

It will probably be called See Hear (like the old Zine store).
- Oh how I want to make ellipsynth sound a little better.. but maybe I'll just shove it out there anyway.
- I'm trying to get a new setup for making demo and performance videos of these apps.
