iOS Apps

Mixen is an iOS app that lets you take your mixes with you, without imposing on you or forcing you to store or organize things in a particular way, or storing your audio anywhere but where you put it. It’s an awesome music player that does all the things music players do - like playlists and tags.

Just some of the features:

• When you air-drop or otherwise send an audio file to your phone, Mixen
  • Finds it immediately
  • Figures out if it is a new revision of a song it already knows about, and adds it to that if so
• It finds and plays your songs in place - it doesn’t copy them anywhere, or move them or alter them in any way
• You can take notes on songs - if the song is playing when you take the note, the timestamp is remembered, and you can A/B that point in the song with the next version you create, check off tasks as they are completed, and more
• Tag songs to create playlists
• Your notes, tags (playlists) and groupings of audio files into songs are shared across all of your iOS devices

Mixen integrates well the audio system in your car, or AirPlay. And Mixen always remembers where you left it - if you were paused in the middle of a song when it was shut down, you’re at that exact spot the next time you open it.

Theriphone is a fun little app that turns your iPhone into a theremin - pitch, volume, vibrato, waveform mix and whether or not playing uses a chromatic or continuous scale can all be mapped to where you’re touching the screen, or to any of the pitch, yaw, roll and compass heading sensors, or acceleration.
