Fretboard: Chords+Progressions

The ultimate guitar tool!See and hear chords, and tap the dots on the fretboard to hear individual notes from the chord up and down the neck.
Simply tap the chord to quickly change root, type or optional bass note.
View fingerings for over 400 chords, each in up to 5 positions.
Alternatively, view the root (white dot) and intervals (3rd, 7th, 9th etc) for every chord right across the fretboard. (bass note shown in red if there is one). This allows you to see all the ways you could play a chord at once and gives you options you didn't know existed.
Save chords to a progression so you can quickly flip between chords and see the changing fret positions.
Ideal whether you are just starting out or an expert trying to master complex progressions.

WHAT'S NEW
Now includes fingering for all chords with up to 5 variations. Use the new left/right arrows to select a variant.
Also, new 'quiet' button (note on/off) to turn off playback on each change to the chord.Fretboard: Chords+Progressions

n-Track Studio 8 DAW - On Sale for 34$/33€

11/25/2016

This is not the Mobile version but it is worth mentioning as it is a full blown DAW and if you already have the mobile version the projects are interchangable.
Plus as a DAW it has some neat functions, like Songtree is integrated just as in the mobile version but something I like a lot and makes me tempted to shift DAW is that it has the possibility to load Pure Data patches as VST/VSTi!

Anyway to go to their homepage follow this link:

G-Stomper Studio and family - Another big update!

11/25/2016

So as always I thought G-Stomper Studio / VA-Beast / Rhythm was pretty great before and have a hard time to imagine what more can be added but as always there is more things to add that actually makes a big difference.

Here is the list of what is new for G-Stomper Studio but a lot of it applies to VA-Beast and Rhythm as well:

G-Stomper Studio 5.3.0.1 Release Notes:

New Audio Session Recorder to record your live sessions as .wav while tweaking the machines (long press RECORD to start, long press STOP to stop)
New LOCK MONO switch on the Mixer, FX and Master view to be able to temporary work on the mix in mono (bypasses all pannings and Stereo affecting FX parts)
New setting in the MIDI setup to transpose incoming MIDI Notes by -6..+6 semitones
New MIDI IN/OUT indicator at the left side of the play/stop/record block (only visible if midi transmissions occur)
New Multi-Mute switch on the Mixer view (as known from FX + Master)
New BPM indicator on the play button
Extended the Drum Sampler Roll feature to 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x (very special thanks to Christof for the input)
New ‘Auto-Rearrange Sequence’ feature when changing the Time Signature (select the new Time Signature with long press)
Improved MIDI OUT timing stability
Various bugfixes in the MIDI handling
Fixed a bug in the G-Stomper Rhythm/VA-Beast Pattern Importer
Bugfix: The Note Grid bar dependent octave pre-selection now works as expected
Bugfix: Fader tooltips now show the correct value when step editing an automation sequence while the sequencer is running (very special thanks to Peter for the bug report)
Many minor UI bugfixes
Updated User Manual

USB Connections being phucked up...

11/20/2016

Okay this is far from being Android related but felt that I wanted to share.

Many years ago I was living in a place with about 95 to 98 percent humidity and everything was rusting or molding driving me crazy.
Lost a lot of electronics and machines and it still distresses me.
But had a mixer that I just opened up and sprayed with some W-40 and it started to work and after this have always sprayed everything inside when things gets phucked up.

Anyway the last night with about a hundred USB sticks that kind of works but not really and needing to put a film for my lovely daughter so she that she could see it on the TV.
Decided to try with some W 40 (electronic connection spray) and put the small straw unto the bottle to spray it into the USB stick...
It did work really well and this would probably work with any USB connectors/receptors of any mobile and computer etc too.
I did consider to try to clean it with some thin stick or similar but this was definitively easier!
There is other brands of course than W 40 and I am not endorsing their brand and I am sure that any kind of other similar spray works as well.

This post is of course not directed to any readers that actually live in the real world of technical or left side braininess but to people that have a hard time to connect left to right like me.
