Various, and also Sundry...

Coupla things:

1. Plogue has just released sforzando, a free .SFZ format sample player available for all the usual plug-in platforms, plus stand-alone. Why do I care? Well, Plogue are cool, for starters. Also, they released a bunch of free SFZ format packages pre-built, and one of them is the CR-909 sample set. You can find the samples here. David broke all the samples down so you it actually ends up with the same controls as a normal 909. Very handy.

2. Bitcom is getting close to being something approaching done. Only a couple little features left, then the inevitable fixes once Jeff Laity starts breaking the OS X version (something he has a truly irritating knack for), then out the door. Probably not by Christmas, but soon thereafter.

3. My on-going experiments On The Side might perhaps bear fruit here in the next day or two. Another interminable process video will be forthcoming shortly.

4. I’m planning an update to Phaedra; I’m moving the sequencing engine to the built-in MIDI sequencer that comes with iOS now; it didn’t exist when I initially made the app. If anyone has feature requests, now’s the time to tell me. I definitely plan to add a note randomizer (per key/mode/scale/whatever) so you don’t need to ask for that.

So, how’s your day going?
