Peter, if your iPhone / iPod Touch is jailbroken, you could try “veency” to get the screen displayed on your desktop monitor and capture it from there. The framerate will not be very high, but it does have some practical uses imho (btw saurik has been thinking about or even working on combining veency and cycorder into “veencycorder” for high framerate video capture, so for the future the problem may get solved).

@Peter
And I badly need to recline on the sofa and get some PSPSEQ work done so I can report back and explain why I like it so much.

yes, yes you do. ;)

Power and specs aside (which actually makes this statement more impressive) the Nintendo DS is far more impressive with its library of music apps, commercial and homebrew, than the PSP and iPod/iPhone.

Being a tad compulsive, I went ahead and got Noise.

I rather impressed by the sound quality.

The sequencer is tedious. You should be able to pinch to zoom in and out.

The record button is confusing because it really does nothing. A quick search of the PDF manual says this is feature for the future depending on Intua.

This is promising. Give me the record mode so I don’t have to use the sequencer initially. Allow me to pinch to zoom in/out to fine tune my creations.

I feel mostly positive about Noise. It is very promising.

*No need to declare within the app that Noise is the first iPhone app. I feel like there’s a commercial in my app. Perhaps a little tacky, in my opinion.

I got to say I’m pretty much blown away by the quality and sounds of this synth, I think it’s probably the best thing I’ve heard in a portable device. You can get pretty deep at most edit levels, maybe the GUI is a bit weird but I think I’m loving it in the end. Great selection on the presets, maybe a little too many pad sounds, I’d like some more sequences and beats but I’m just beign picky for such a cheap source of inspiration :D Great stuff, congrats.

@Peter Kim: what about DS-10 are you missing, exactly? Weâ€™ve got synths and drum machines.
Yes, and I have majority of them on my iPhone, but I am yet to see all of them combined into one single app – mini DAW if you like with built in synths, samplers and drum machines. Something I can use to sketch my ideas on the run and at the end of the day easily transfer it to my DAW of choice and continue on. As far as I know, only iDrum allows it (with iDrum VSTi/AU), but it is drum machine only.
Perhaps almighty KORG will release streamlined version of their Legacy Cell for iPhone or better yet, mini Reason from Propellerheads … one can only dream…

Yes I was indeed wrong with the statement that free source is not available via the AppStore :-) Sorry for that.

We have to wait till Intua provides us the API to their BeatPack server. Meanwhile, we’re implementing our own export features, just in case.

The situation over the Noise.io’s export audio will be clearer most possible within a month.

That’s the first thing in our update list and we’re strongly inclined to give users such ability as soon as possible :-)
