Finally got Intua audio copy added to Glitch Machine, hopefully some of you guys can make use of that. Submitted earlier this evening, so should show up in the store sometime next week I surmise.

Also fixed a few bugs including the “black boot” that some have reported… basically the custom colours just got all wonked out and everything is black but still working. If you know where the buttons are, you can navigate to the settings screen and reset it, heh. But, this update will fix that issue. You also get some more colours to pick from as an added bonus. The other main bug is one nobody would likely have noticed as it has to do with the update speed of the stack values. However, if you’ve got some tunes that make heavy use of the stack for feedback effects, i.e. lots of PICK and mixing, then your tune is going to sound different now… for better or worse. Well, for better in the long run, because it was a bug.

Finally. Added a few confirmation dialogs, since I’m pretty sure people don’t like to delete or overwrite things by accident. You can also delete exported WAVs from the app, it’s part of the new audio copy feature.

I’ve already got some cool features planned for the next update. You request ‘em, and if it makes sense and I am able, I add ‘em. So fire away!

I created a little demo video today, showing some of the Glitch Machine features:

I just submitted my new app, Glitch Machine, to the App Store:

Glitch Machine is a generative music synthesizer. Expressions are edited live to produce sound interactively. The magic of Glitch Machine’s synthesis is in the BYTE, which wraps a final output value to a number between 0 – 255. The repeating patterns (or chaos) of this ‘wrapping’ produces waveforms and beats.

It uses RPN syntax for livecoding crazy beats and waves on the fly:

Some of you may have seen viznut’s blog post about this kind of synthesis.

It should be hopefully be live some time next week!

Extended by 12″

I got tired of sitting around all day, every day… so I decided to take the plunge and make a stand-up workspace. After a bunch of my own designs involving 2×4′s and too much cutting and nailing, a fellow tweeter by the name of @spongsalot suggested this particularly simple solution:

It’s all about the pipes, baby.

That’s 16″ of PVC pipe with 12″ of dowel set inside, per leg. Lift the table, install pipe/dowel concoction for each leg, and set it down. Took about 20 minutes to cut everything, and 5 minutes to install. The pipe isn’t even glued or fastened to the dowel, so you can easily disassemble and adjust if needed.

Very clever and simple solution… thank you @spongsalot. It is this sort of useful lateral thinking that will keep your head from rolling once I conquer the galaxy.

Shrink-wrapping sprites… this is the output of some code I wrote last night to help with certain visual effects. Can you tell what it is?

Spending 5 minutes figuring out some stuff.
