Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 The third one from the left - that's where my boy Johan lives! I would really like to find out why Caliber took the shot. I was just looking for ap recommendations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I would really like to find out why Caliber took the shot. I was just looking for ap recommendations. There are two "P's in "app", and caliber has been known to take note of spelling/grammar. But also, making threads with titles that look like other threads is one of the oldest ViaChicago gags - I seriously doubt it was anything personal..it was a good thread too. I think you should have kept it open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Bebot - it's not free, but it's well worth all 199 pennies. A review: There are some iPhone apps that are just plain ridiculous, and there are others that look ridiculous, but under the surface, contain something extraordinary. Normalware’s BeBot—Robot Synth is one of those remarkable apps. At first glance, the $2 BeBot simply presents a fun retro style robot character. As you run your fingertip along the screen of your iPhone or iPod touch, you can produce sound and make the robot dance and sing. This alone can entertain a three-year-old (or the three-year-old in you) for hours. What’s not so apparent, though, is that underneath it all, BeBot is a very powerful, four-voice synthesizer. If you double-tap the icon in the lower right corner, this will expose controls for various presets, such as Theremin, Syntharp, and Pulse Wave Modulation. (You can also save presets of your own.) Within each preset are other controls, such as Synth Control, Effects and Scale. Without going into too much detail, these controls give you an almost infinite range of voicings you can produce. The best way to learn how to use an app this complex and powerful is to actually see it in action. The developer’s Web site provides some examples, but Jordan Rudess, keyboardist for the progressive rock band Dream Theater, has put together a video that is the best BeBot tutorial I’ve seen. BeBot—Robot Synth is a good example of what the iPhone platform is all about. From the perspective of both a musician and software developer, the iPhone provides a new and unique framework upon which completely new classes of instruments (and other programs) can be created. The only improvements I would suggest would be the ability to record/save your BeBot creations and to share custom settings with other users. In any case, BeBot is a truly incredible application that can entertain both serious musicians and three-year-olds equally as well. BeBot—Robot Synth is compatible with any iPhone and iPod touch running the iPhone 2.x software update. link - http://www.find.macworld.com/appguide/app.html?id=69922 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 I would really like to find out why Caliber took the shot. I was just looking for ap recommendations.Jesus, dude. I saw "aps", I thought "alps", I started a thread. It was in no way a shot at you. There are two "P's in "app", and caliber has been known to take note of spelling/grammar. But also, making threads with titles that look like other threads is one of the oldest ViaChicago gags - I seriously doubt it was anything personal..it was a good thread too. I think you should have kept it open.The spelling didn't even enter my mind. I think Crow should open his thread again, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I know! I thought it would be a great place to learn about even more time-wasting apps, and I was going to make a joke on another post, and never got the chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I would really like to find out why Caliber took the shot. I was just looking for ap recommendations.Well gee, fella, you could ask Caliber instead of quoting someone who came along way later. You close threads almost at the frequency Pop Todd opens them. Can't you two find the happy ground somewhere in the middle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
