Molecule Synth:An Electronic Musical Instrument for Everyone
Art from Synthetic Bits tweeted about this Kickstarter project, so don’t blame me if you end up funding it (as I almost certainly will do).
All joking aside I think this looks amazing!

New Sunvox beta released
A new beta for Sunvox is released for desktop and Windows Mobile / Palm OS (I’m just really pleased that these are still supported). So my guess is that this is what to expect for the next iOS version too.
What is new:
- new module – WaveShaper;
- new options in Preferences->Recording: Pattern fit to grid, Note quantization, Controller quantization;
- empty parameter of the vibrato effect 04 is now treated as “use previous parameter value”; works only for songs created in SunVox 1.7.2 and higher;
- new option “smooth frequency change” in the Analog Generator; enabled by default; disable it if you want to use arpeggio effect 08;
- velocity map in the MultiSynth module;
- improved CPU Usage Monitor with scrolling and module selection;
- maximum number of pattern tracks has been increased from 8 to 16;
- maximum Echo delay length increased to 4 seconds (except for PalmOS, where still the maximum is 1 second);
- new controller in the Echo module – “Delay units” with different available modes (ms, Hz, ticks, lines);
- new controller in the Filter module – “LFO frequency units” with different available modes (ms, Hz, ticks, lines);
- new controller in the Flanger module – “Vibrato speed units” with different available modes (ms, Hz, ticks, lines);
- new controller in the LFO module – “Frequency units” with different available modes (ms, Hz, ticks, lines);
- new controller in the Vibrato module – “Frequency units” with different available modes (ms, Hz, ticks, lines);
- new controller in the Vibrato module – “Set phase”;
- sound engine optimization;
- many bugs fixed.

Pocket Modular is on sale, and it made me think
I actually bought this app when it first came out, so when I noticed it was on sale I thought I’d tweet it (it’s down to $0.99 / £0.69). I never really got into the app when I bought it although perhaps I didn’t really give it enough time to be fair.
So I think I should give it another go over the weekend, and I also think that maybe I should do a round up of modular type apps. What do you think? Worth it?

Fair enough, this has nothing to do with handheld music making, but I so wish it did. I think that the idea of having a whole environment for creating new effects or synths in your pocket is wonderful. Of course, I have no idea of who difficult something like this would be, but I wonder is it that difficult from latest additions to miniMIXA in terms of modular synthesis?
