  • Overall Improved performance, stability and quality, bug fixes.
  • New Auto mode found in Slice Loop. This automatically detects your sample’s transients for quick slicing and provides a good alternative to Grid mode.

Gemma, Pd, and making things

I’ve been meaning to post this update to Gemma for a few days, but then I got to thinking about it and about what it means so I’ve held off for a while. When I first heard about Gemma I was quite intrigued by the idea of it, but I didn’t really get it. When I saw the latest release it started to fit into place though. So what’s in the latest release? I’ll tell you.

  • Overall Improvements
  • Minor bug fixes
  • GemmaLib launch (for developers)

And this GemmaLib intrigued me, so I headed over to the Gemma site, clicked on the link for ‘developers‘ and watched this video.

Which was to say the least very impressive. So now we have a number of different options available for anyone who wants to use Pd. We have Gemma, we have MobMuPlat, and of course if you’re interested in developing a full app you can take a look into libPd.

It’s all starting to make a lot of sense right? But all with Pd at the core. What’s more, if you’re a zMors Modular user you can use Pd patches there too. So is it really worth it to learn Pd? Could be that now’s the right time.

So what is new in PlayGround?

Having mentioned PlayGround a few times today I thought I should really say what was new in the latest version of the app.

  • New scene by the L.A. producer Free The Robots
  • New Video Recording mode (default option) using ReplayKit (You can switch back to Audio recorder in the Settings)
  • Update of Menu Button animation to help understand it’s behaviour (you have to hold it to open the menu)
