Droneo will bathe your ears with rich polyphonic textures!
Droneo is a synthesizer which drones with various timbres and precise intonations that blur the distinction between tones, timbres and chords. Its drone is great for meditation, centering, and calming, walking and biking, but also can be set up for discordant noise and insect-like buzzing and chirping.
Skip to about 3:30 mins in for the sweet spot =)
With Droneo, you can create surprisingly rich, motion filled drones which change over time in a controlled way.
Quietly nested in your earbuds or blasted though your stack of amps, Droneo fills your droning needs!
Droneo uses 8 voices (“reeds”) which can be precisely and individually tuned, randomly detuned,
chorused, and modulated. The relative pitch and volume of each reed can be set individually, making for a wide variety of drones.
These “reeds” use various timbres suitable for drones, including vocal-like timbres and evolving, dynamically generated timbres.
The settings for all the intervals can be visualized and manipulated using
a special “Tone spiral” interface.
Droneo is also an excellent way to play with the way chords fuse into timbres — which is why there’s such a heavy emphasis on interval specification.
You can get a feel for how certain timbres fit “naturally” in certain frequency ranges, and how tunings and timbres and chords intertwine.
Back in the day I did this with an Alesis D4 except I also used some mics, a towel, and a chair. Now you can do it with your phone!?! What makes this app stand out from the competition is the fact that you can actually assign sounds to objects. If I only had this in High School. Tapping beats out on a desk with a pencil just doesn’t compare.
Ever dreamt of becoming a drummer without having to purchase, carry and assemble a complete drum set? The solution is simple; gear up with some office supplies, a pair of headphones, your favourite Apple iOS device and unleash the power of your pocket-sized drum set.
You can now build your own virtual drum set from practically anything. Music applications where users tap the screen are things of the past. Welcome to the future!
TableDrum is an Augmented Audio application that allows you to sync the sound of any real object and trigger a real time response of high quality drum sounds.

————————————————-
Take it to the streets, show your kitchen table who’s the boss or simply let your stuff feel the rhythm.
With the TableDrum application the world is now your virtual drum set. You can sync the sound of basically any real object to your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and link it to high quality drum samples of your choice.
Included in the app is the Classic Rock kit with 8 high quality drum samples. By expanding your sound library with the Ethno & Jazz kit and Electro and Glitch kit you can get access to another 32 high quality sounds to play with.
Some things to get started
Gear up with a couple of pencils and some office supplies, each one with unique acoustic characteristics, to drum on!
Use headphones for best result.
To link a drum to a real physical object
1. Hold down a drum pad until it starts glowing.
2. Release and tap a real physical object several times (4-8) while the light fills the circle.
3. When the linking process is done, the rim of the pad will glow.
The app recognizes sound, so for the app to work at its best, the sounds you link should be different and distinguished. While you are playing, hit the object the same way as when you linked it.
To unlink a drum
1. Hold down the drum pad for one second. The rim stops glowing and is unlinked from the real physical object.
To change a drum sample
1. Press the menu button.
2. Slide through the different sample albums.
3. Click an album and then drag n’ drop the sound icons you want to use onto each drum pad.
Join the beat!
Note:
Devices without a built-in microphone require an external microphone to use the Augmented Audio linking.
Oramics is a drawn sound technique designed in 1957 by musician Daphne Oram. The machine was further developed in 1962 after receiving a grant from the Gulbenkian Foundation. The technique involves drawing on 35mm film strips to control the sound produced.
Oram’s composition machine consisted of a large rectangular metal frame, providing a table-like surface traversed by ten synchronised strips of clear, sprocketed 35mm film. The musician drew shapes on the film to create a mask, which modulated the light received by photocells. Although the output from the machine was monophonic, the sounds could be added to multitrack tapes to provide more texture.
The original machine is on display at the Science Museum in London from 29 July 2011 to 1 December 2012.
Oramics was also the name used by Oram to refer to her studio and business interests generally.
Now you can get a pocket sized version of this unique synthesizer for your iPhone.

This iPhone app tries to bring to life the incredible sound of the Oramics Machine. Users can draw aspects of a sound in a drawn composition on top of film reels, including the envelope, pitch, reverb, vibrato, as well control the shape of the sound by drawing a waveshape on top of a glass plate.
Amazing Sound!
