Meet & Greet with Christopher Tyng, Composer of Futurama 💥

THIS Thursday, April 8th, join us for this FREE VIRTUAL event!

Retronyms is meeting up with composer of Futurama, Christopher Tyng, at a secret location in the mountains of Santa Barbara as he, Arkitxt, unveils an immersive electronica light show called "Immerxion."

Since 2020, Immerxion has been designed by an inventive audio/visual crew. 350,000 pixel light walls and hundreds of modular synthesizers surround Arkitxt in a 3-story cube, illuminating emerging artists that join stage. The experience can appear anywhere imaginable -- fields, islands, warehouses, arenas, tv stations, clubs.
As capabilities in digital/mobile music advance, Retronyms invites our global community to register and be selected by Immerxion for a digital Meet and Greet with Arkitxt.

Hook — Take a look at the Flux Fader

Last week, we announced a new App called Hook! It's is a live DJ, Mashup, and Remix Workstation. In today's video, JP shows off the Flux Fader — a multitouch "smart crossfader" that allows you to expressively make transitions between any combination of tracks/cells on the fly.

Hook is available on July 21 for both iPhone and iPad. That same day, Wej will officially be up for purchase. We're doing a new video about Hook's features every Thursday, so subscribe on YouTube to tune in.

Introducing Wej. Wireless MIDI base.

Wej is a non-skid performance platform that lets you connect your USB controllers to your iOS music apps wirelessly over the new Apple Bluetooth LE MIDI protocol. Plus it features super bright multicolor LEDs that dance in time to the music.

Wej needs you! With your help, we're looking to gather enough pre-orders to support building Wej. Save 20% and get Wej for just $99.00 if you order before November 7. Visit preorder.retronyms.com.



Connect your controllers to Wej, and it will transmit their MIDI messages wirelessly to your iPad. Expand your iOS studio with keyboards, drum pads, fader banks, sequencers, and more. Wej uses Apple's Bluetooth Midi protocol introduced in iOS 8, providing a fast wireless bridge. Wej is compatible with any app that supports this protocol.

Wej is powered. Use it to charge any USB device, including your iPhone or iPad (even while it's connected to a controller). Supply enough juice to run power-hungry USB music gear.



Use Wej to add ambiance to your studio or serve as an ultra-portable light show with its bank of programmable multicolor LEDs.

Customize your animated light patterns with the Wej Control App. It's a Tabletop Ready app that integrates seamlessly with Retronyms software and works with anything that supports Apple's Inter-App Audio standard on iOS.

Open Source and Hackable

Built with open source in mind. The core of Wej is an Arduino application processor. Download our open-source sketch and hack away at it. Learn more at preorder.retronyms.com/hacks.html

Resampling in Tabletop

Following on from last week's session with Cueboard—this week I take a look at resampling with AudioCopy, Recorder and iMPC, and how it's possible to condense a Tabletop Sound with complex routing down into a single drum pad.

Cheers, Locky

iMini gets update with iOS 7 Inter App Audio (IAA) support

Arturia's Tabletop Ready App, iMini has a free update available now that adds iOS 7 Inter App Audio support!

If you're curious about Inter App Audio, I threw together a couple videos showing some of what's possible. First a demo of Tenori-On controlling iMini:


Next a sneak peek at new devices in Tabletop that use IAA:

One sale ends, another begins!

Hey all, just a quick update:

The introductory special price for iMPC for iPhone ends on Thursday, the 15th. There's still time to put an MPC in your pocket for just 2.99!

Meanwhile on the iPad front — iMini, the legendary Tabletop-Ready synth from Arturia is going on sale for $6.99. If you've been waiting, now's your chance to grab this amazing analogue recreation for a great price.

iMini 1.1 update. First Tabletop ready app on the Audiobus!

We're happy to announce the release of  iMini 1.1.  A iPad recreation of the Minimoog, one of the most iconic synthesizers of all time!  iMini is Tabletop-Ready app and Audiobus compatible.  Use iMini with daws like Garageband or seamlessly on Tabletop.

iMini is on sale in the AppStore now.  

Here is an overview of iMini's powerful features.

STANDALONE APP

Main View

This screen contains the bulk of the controls, providing access to the oscillators, filter envelope, mixer, polyphony option, and loudness contour. iMini comes with hundreds of built-in presets, which you can open by tapping the Load button. Tap Save to change any edits you make a preset or create your own!

Keyboard Controls

Tap the gear icon next to the iMini plate to open this panel, where you can edit the range of the pitch bend, change the scale selection on the keyboard, shift octaves, and turn on the decay, glide, and legato.  The scroll button allows you to move the keyboard to change octaves (good for a glissando), while the zoom button allows you to use a pinch gesture to change the size of the keys.

Connect Panel

 
This part of the app lets you set the tempo, connect to other iOS devices via WIST, set up a MIDI controller, and launch in Tabletop (more on the Tabletop-Ready version of iMini at the end of the post).

Perform View

In the perform view you can turn on the arpeggiator and set its parameters, as well as set the controls for the XY pads.  Tap the gear icon above a pad (the one that looks like a donut at this resolution) to set the axes of the pads.  Just use the arrow buttons to map an axis to one of the controls from the perform screen. This feature is great for creating evolving sounds in real-time.

Effects View

The effects screen is where you can enable the chorus and delay and adjust their parameters. Don't forget about the Output knobs on the right that change the amount of these effects!

TABLETOP-READY iMINI

The iMini is the second Tabletop-Ready device - a standalone app that when purchased from the App Store unlocks the corresponding device in our app Tabletop. It comes with all the same features (minus polyphony - unfortunately it takes up too much CPU when used with other devices), and even a few that aren't available in the standalone app:

• Export as a .wav file
• Posting to the CloudSeeder community
• Create a full song with additional devices
• Edit and create notes in the timeline editor

Hurry on over to the App Store to get this fantastic new release!
