Rainstick - With Cool Flavour by Bèrenger Recoules

4/4/2017

I am happy to see this developer doing some more apps as I was thinking the other day that maybe he stopped doing Android apps. He have made some other interesting apps with a lot of character. (He is involved in one bigger project as well that I will write about in the post after this.) Some of the apps like this one is for sitting and recording as they do not come with built in recording but I think that is totally okay and will lead to more organic interactions with the music.

Googe Play Info:

Rainstick

Rainstick is an audio/visual physics simulation of a rainstick. Several simulations are available with different kind of physical parameters, geometries etc.

It has been built with :
- libgdx an open source game framework : https://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/
- gdx-pd a wrapper of libpd for libgdx (libpd being an open source audio engine based on Pure-data) : https://github.com/mgsx-dev/gdx-pd

Thanks to mgsx for his help and the awesome libgdx tools he built for the making of this application ! http://www.mgsx.net/

Guitar and Amp Modelling part II -- Caustic 3

So this is the third part in a series of how to make realistic sounding instruments using Caustic 3. I feel that JBlann is just getting started and videos are coming more and more frequent and becoming more and more interesting. Hooray for JBlann and EiPStudios Ohio!
(Soon all the different tutorials for Caustic wil have a home under the Caustic Subheader...)

Modelling electric guitar in Caustic 3 by EiP Studios Ohio

This is just the beginning and his goal is to show us how to model many instruments.
Getting musicians that think that you could only use Caustic 3 for electronic music that it is indeed possible to use it for more real world instruments as well.
I am slightly sceptic but in either case following this with great interest and even if you can not get instruments to sound 100% natural it will probably sound natural in the mix with other sounds if you for example want to mix it in a more electronic song, or use only as a way to compose for maybe guitar, piano and saxophone?, this would be a way to not make it sound so static.
Soon hopefully to be aided by a friend that is also a very good sound technician!

Caustic 3 and physically modelled instruments by JBlann

JBlann of EIP Studios Ohio got some interesting ideas cooking for his next Builderz project.
He wants to create real instruments sounding as realistic as possible using his production techniques. Think that this will be a good pack to have for anyone looking for more expressive real instruments. So before releasing his new Builderz pack there is a video to get an idea of what it all means soundwise.

CompuFart - Ahh love the sound of flatulence in the morning

There is not many physically modelled instruments for Android think this is the second one,
Droiditar being the other one but that one is so serious sounding and sad!

Love this line from the Playstore description:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The world's first "Anatomically Correct" Fart Synthesizer! A new kind of vaporware developed by a real-life doctor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The developer is also sending all kinds of fart related information out over his twitter feed,
which makes me smile every time.
Do not really see how it would fit into my own music making as I am such a serious guy.
But there is always a place somewhere for some good fart sounds.... Maybe a whole rhythm track!
Or for laughing your ass off after inhaling...
But in either case think that Android needs some serious apps of these kinds
instead of all the publicity ridden sample based crap, as we need some more funtime in our lifes.
