BTW, this is a similar UI as the Bebot synth which is also very cool.
I was looking (and still am) for a way to control all these iPhone synths via a MIDI controller. Anyone know a way?

interesting. I cant see how practical it would be playing an instrument on a touch screen though i havent tried it yet. Its hard enough playing on a regular instrument LOL. It would be a good idea to play through a midi controller. I dont know how you could do it.

Yeah, the new frontier in iPhone synths is all in the interface. I have a couple that are standard keyboard style and while they are playable, they are limited with only an octave on the screen at a time. If you have an iPhone, shell out the 5 bucks for Bebot. It's cool and very playable. Another I really like is Bloom. Both have unique interfaces that make them fun to play.

That's right, I said it...a Giant Zither. Some might argue the terminology but that's OK, I just like saying Giant Zither. In the tradition of John Cage, Arvo Part, ( Tabula Rasa ) Henry Cowell and more recently Brian Eno and the Aphex Twins I am going to mutilate, alter and otherwise "modify" (my favorite word) the standard method of playing the beloved Pianoforte . A brief background on Prepared Piano; usually, this term refers to taking a piano (typically a grand or baby grand for ease of access to the strings) and placing various types of"modifiers"directly on or in between the strings themselves. If you have access to horizontally strung piano give it a try, it can produce tones that sound like ethereal bells( Arvo Part's Tabula Rasa is a wonderful example of this ) to weird and w...

Solo Cello Samples

I am writing a delicate Piano/Cello piece and am in the process of rendering it or "fleshing it out" in my studio. Ya know, I gotta say, the available solo cello samples out that are available are just not that good yet. (IMHO- please correct me with some that are!!) Although the cello part will be replaced by a real, live player with a bow in hand eventually, it has become a bit of an academic exercise to make this part sound as natural a possible. This composition is just for the sake of music and therefore I have no director/producer anxiously staring at the clock! So, I can take my time and play with it. A rarity indeed.... This particular cello from the EWQLSO library is pretty"barky" in the mids and upper mids and quite harsh. (1k, 3k, 5k-aprox)I have had some interesting results with cutting out some of the offending frequencies but as I A/B with a Yo Yo playing Bach: The 6 Unaccompanied Cello Suites (which rocks, BTW) It occurs to me that this sample just do...
