MPD Software releases mobileRhythm mR-606

The mR-606 drum machine is reminiscent of the classic 1980′s beatboxes that heavily influenced both the Detroit and Chicago house music scenes – the forebears of modern dance and techno music. These classic boxes were re-discovered by the rave and acid music collectives of the ’90′s in the UK and in Europe, and have been popular ever since.

Now hard to find in their original hardware form, the mobileRhythm mR-606 is destined to be popular with anyone who enjoys a bit of nostalgia in their music-making.

Universal - available in 3 versions – for iPad, iPhone/iPod touch, or Universal, for use on any iOS device.

Price: USD 5.99 / GBP 3.49

VirSyn releases version 1.2 of iVoxel

iVoxel is not only an amazingly sounding vocoder for iPhone/iPod and iPad – the unique concept of iVoxel turns this vocoder into a singing machine going far beyond the capabilities of traditional and software vocoders on any platform.

The vocoder part is based on the Matrix vocoder from VirSyn used by many famous artists – one of them the well known german group Kraftwerk. The channel filters used by iVoxel are based on the Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201 resulting in a rich and fat analogue sound characteristic.

  • Speaker switch to enable loudspeaker on iPhone.
  • Improved voxel recording quality.
  • Improved performance for iPhone 3G / iPod 2.Gen.
  • Consonants can now played voiced by turning consonants all the way down.
