Curtis gets Devine

The latest installment of Curtis, version 1.1, is up on the iTunes Store. We’re extra excited about this one, as Richard Devine has been kind enough to create an incredible sound scape for the app. We could hardly think of a better way to glitch bliss on Curtis!


New in this release:

  • exclusive Richard Devine sound set
  • pitch control
  • echo effect
  • volume control
  • mp3 import

Curtis on iPad

The initial build of Curtis for iPad has just been approved!

It’s our first app using the new drag-and-drop document functionality in iTunes. No more in-app-server craziness; just drag-and-drop files between Curtis and your computer. Finally! Please only WAV files for now.

Space Love 1.5

We just submitted a new version of Space, coming to your iPad (extremely) soon. The touch interface was totally reworked, tossing the iPhone modal paradigm. The short of it: you can get all multi-freaky now: tweaking wave forms as you select notes, detune an oscillator, adjust the echo, set the modulator. We rarely wish we had more fingers, but this morning we’ve nearly deployed our toes. The new hold features do however make it a little easier on our overwrought digits.

• rewritten touch interface, now much more multi!
• fixed ultra-crashed arp
• fixed arp display sync issue
• hold now works with arp off, for a sustained single note
• hold now extra sticky, allowing you to add and alter arp notes while a touch is held in the note area

Oh, and as for that borken arp. For the nerds among ye: the compiler was wreaking voodoo when optimizing the app. Everything rocked hard on our debug iPad, but the release version was doing Alpha Centauri math we’re only beginning to understand. Making a function-local variable into a class variable fixed the bug. Free pizza to the first commenter who can explain this!

Time for Space on the iPad

I am very pleased to announce the first iteration of our first iPad app, Space for iPad. It was obvious that the iPad would be a boon to our audio apps, but I didn’t know it would be so much fun! Trying the iPhone apps on the iPad sent me straight to Xcode. This release is a fairly direct port of Sound Scope Space. More features are already implemented and coming your way soon!

Back for NAMM

After an amazing and extended tour of Asia, we’re back in LA, and back to apps. Looking forward to implementing your suggestions and looking forward to the mythical tablet.

If any NAMM goers would like to chat, critique, suggest, or rumble this weekend, please get in touch! Email “hello@” or get all audio at 424-AGENCY9.

And a happy New Year :)

Slice hates your iPod Touch, presently

It seems a recent OS upgrade changes AudioSession behavior on the iPod Touch, making Slice grumpy and silent. This is most ill-timed, and we apologize. A fix is in the works!

UPDATE: the iPod-loving version 1.1 has been submitted to Apple on Nov. 9, and should be available within a couple of weeks!

In the meantime, Slice will reportedly work on your iPod if a headset with a microphone is plugged in.
