Sketch is back!
Audiotool Sketch has recently been away from the Android market but is now back. Down to the fact Sketch was off the market for so long we have decided to extend the honeymoon period, Sketch will still be available for the discounted price until the end of this month (31/01/12).
Thank you to everyone for the patience.
Audiotool Sketch
Today marks the launch of Audiotool Sketch! This brand new program allows you to work on some of the same hardware emulations that are featured in Audiotool, straight from a phone, tablet or any other Android device.
Features include:
- two drum machines
- one synth
- delay unit
- mixer
- copy/paste
- multi-touch functionality
This application is all about getting back to the basics of pattern based music. Audiotool sketch allows the user to experience a pattern based workflow straight from a mobile device without any cables, fires, massive bills or blown eardrums. If you thought you were already a master of these devices then think again, working with sketch is guaranteed to improve your skills.
For a limited time only Sketch is available for 99 cents but hurry because it won’t be for long!
Get it here.

Pulsate for Android & Chrome
Today marks the launch of Pulsate for Android and Google Chrome. We are really excited about this release since this is our first Android application and it is a major milestone for our internal development efforts.
Pulsate for the browser is using open web technologies like WebGL and the Web Audio API. This is a major step for audio synthesis using HTML5 – no plugins required.
We are committed to bringing more audio apps to mobile devices so stay tuned.
For the nerds: Pulsate has been developed with our internal cross-platform framework called Hiddenwood and makes use of a single code base. There is no platform specific logic involved. The browser version uses WebGL or Canvas to render the UI whereas the Android version uses OpenGL ES 2.0.
The audio synthesis is making use of the same audio engine we developed for our Audiotool application you all know. When running in the browser we decide at runtime whether or not a resampler is necessary to guarantee that you hear the same audio content on different computers.
This is a great step in the right direction and allows us to release new applications quickly on multiple platforms.

Audiotool Podcasts!
The first Audiotool Radio Podcasts is now online! The first series of podcasts will concentrate on playing as much music from Audiotool.com as possible.
As for the future these podcasts could evolve in any which way, interviews, guest mixes, guest playlists or even to the point of dedicating a whole show to one user, playing some of their tracks, some of their favourites and talking about how they personally work with Audiotool. Who knows!
We hope everyone will enjoy listening to the music in these podcasts, as well as Luke’s funny sounding voice. This episode is just a pilot so expect bigger and better things in the future!

Nice podcast Players:
Happy listening!
Audiotool radio needs you!
We are planning to start a regular podcast/radio show with the intent of showcasing the very best of music being produced on Audiotool but for this we need jingles!
What we want:
- Jingles!
- Jingles should be around 5 seconds in length
- No low frequencies (jingles will be played over the mix)
- User-voices: We definitely want to hear users’ voices, stuff like; “audiotool.com!” or “you are listening to audiotool radio” (think cheesy radio)
How to enter:
- Use Audiotool to produce a jingle/s
- Publish the jingle as a track
- Send a link to the track to team@audiotool.com
There is no real prize for this mini-comp but please be sure that if your jingle is used in the show you will be sonically immortalised.
We think this could be a lot of fun and we hope Audiotool users will feel the same, as always thanks and greetings to you all.
