A new project we thought we’d share: Making time two-dimensional with Donut™ on the iPad. Inspired by these contraptions, we banged out this phrase looper with a twist. Donut™ lets you record and play loops in 2d. We’re ironing out the functionality and UI, but do check the video for the project so far. It’s most pleasantly strange!

Time to Make the Donut™
Monday, July 18th, 2011Curtis is down with ACP
Friday, July 15th, 2011We’re traveling a lot this summer, so development is a trickle, but we do have quite a lot brewing. We’ve finally added Intua-style Audio Copy/Paste to Curtis. It’s the top-ranked feature request, so this update should please a lot of users! We also worked in a browser, allowing you to view the user manual right from within the app.
At the same time CP 1919 got some orientation tweaks. The upcoming release defaults to standard app behavior and flips the whole screen around when you rotate your iPad. If you prefer the old style, it’s available via application settings, as is a new reverse mode if your iPad case if different from mine. Cool!?
Both app updates will be ported to their respective other.
In other news, we’re steadily porting Slice to iPad as well as exploring some future possibilities, like neural network sequencing.
So that’s what that does!
Friday, April 29th, 2011Today the long-missing manual for Curtis for iPad has finally found its way to our site. Hopefully this clarifies any obscurities in the interface. We’ve long wondered about all those buttons and sliders.
More Free Spunk

This limited circle of pure sounds must be broken, and the infinite variety of “noise-sound” conquered. Russolo
The latest build of Spunk, our particle-based synthesizer, includes a slew of improvements and some nifty new particle control options. The point attractor has been augmented with a couple planar attractors, one of which can pulse at a variable frequency.
Included in the download is a TouchOsc template, so you can run Spunk fullscreen while controlling it with your iPad. Tune in at port 1666.
Terrible .2′s
Friday, April 8th, 2011Performance recording just got released with Curtis for iPad 2.2, and it’s queued up and awaiting approval with CP 1919 version 1.2 along with a slew of nifty additions and the odd bug fix. We’re eagerly awaiting the release, but in the meantime, here’s a preview:
Further Back and Faster
Saturday, March 26th, 2011At last! CP 1919 1.1 is runnin’ smooth and on its way to an App Store near you.
The backstory: We held off updating our development iPad to iOS 4 while finishing the app to keep it compatible with the old OS, and after launch we found it ran like molasses on the latest iOS. Imagine the horror! A great deal of low-level optimization later: we have a far slicker CP 1919 for you, clipping along at the 30fps we’ve all grown to love. Same great taste, more responsive interface.
Per your demand, audio recording is next in the queue. Audio copy will follow. But what about MIDI? Are y’all clamoring for MIDI?
A huge thanks to the early-adopters; you keep this all possible!
