ToneMatrix is a simple sinewave synthesizer triggered by an ordinary 16step sequencer. Each triggered step causes a force on the underlaying wave-map, which makes it more cute.

Belkin's TuneStudio looks pretty sick. Plug in mics and instruments and record to your ipod.

Interesting looking application that will hopefully be available for iPhone users in the future. Uses sound recorded from the mic and accelerometer feedback to create sounds and music that is in sync with your environment.

Take a break with a beautiful musical interlude. Processing by Robert Hodgin (flight404) and music by The Flashbulb.

The Samson CO1U USB Condenser Mic is an inexpensive USB microphone you can use for podcasting and screencasting. As I understand it, unless the software you're using on the Mac allows you to control audio input, you're going to have a Mono signal in one channel. Some software will allow you to configure the mic for mono input. GarageBand will, for example, so you can get audio in both channels. But I'm using Vara Software's Screenflow, which doesn't yet allow that kind of control of the audio settings in the current version.

To get around this, you need to change your input settings.

1. Open Applications > Utilities > Audio Midi Setup.app
2. Select your connected Samson C01U mic in the "Properties For:" drop down menu. The "Audio Input" area should refresh to show format options.
3. In the Format field, change the channel drop down menu to "1ch-16 bit."

Your audio application show now send mono for both channels.
