Apple Oscillations
For all my ninjammy-jams,
Apple’s got an interesting little app called Oscillating Rhythms for you, available for free from their site. This little jam caught my attention, not so much for the four track midi sequencer, or the simple eq and filter effects. No, what interests the robotninja about this, is that you can use any number of different Audio Units and VSTs within its form. We robotninjas tend to rely heavily on plug-ins, and for such as small program to play host for them brings up a number of interesting possibilities.
We also like to sample randomness, here at robotninja hq. And, when I’m not deep within the heart of a black-hole, retrieving some ancient artifact that when gazed upon would result in the instantaneous face-melting of a lesser being, I enjoy stringing together randomly generated midi data and adding the resulting sound file to my collection of skulls and spines, to use at my leisure and purposes beyond.
One thing to watch out for, is that the default file format is m4a. Kind of weak, if you ask me, but nothing that can’t be fixed with the proper techniques.
Life is hard, but the robotninja is much harder.
