I am really not a very good blogger am I? I have a new site which will become a major project for me and hopefully some of those involved. It was launched over a month ago!

plasq.com

Our first product is musolomo – the brainchild of Keith ‘songcarver’ Lang, brilliantly programmed my Airy André and a somewhat superfluous GUI by me. (why? cause musolomo is designed to not be looked at but learnt and played without looking at the screen at all). A performance orientated sampler instrument.

Check it out, it is free. Windows version pending.

1.1 is already release also which added drag and drop sample adding to musolomo.

plasq is a collective of inventors and programmers – all of them musicians of some calibre. plasq will be branching into non audio software soon also. I promise to blog when that happens

Be sure to check out the instructional videos featuring the instant cult character, ‘plasqy the sock puppet’

I can see a lot of music applications for the Nintendo DS. Imagine a softsynth where you play notes with you thumb on one screen(special type of keyboard) and play about with a XY pad with the other. Or vocoder.. or sound generation depending on signal level to other devices (mmm performance art). or… or orr….gotta get one
