We just uploaded 3 new, free scenes from Stefan Smulovitz, Frank Barknecht and Chris McCormick

Stefan Smulovitz’s scene is called Time and is a wonderful piece he created together with Viviane Houle. Viviane is a vocalist, improviser and songwriter known for creating a huge array of sounds. The scene is using the touchpad to trigger the vocals. Try it and you will be soon lost in the voice and stories of Viviane.

 

It seems to me as if Frank was testing the new abilities to include buttons in a scene. He just stretched the idea a bit by putting 256 buttons on it and made them all musical reactive. The result will make you smile!

 

Chris is the creator of the smashing hits CanOfBeats and GhostWave. This time he stepped back of doing yet another musical craziness. He just simply created a moonboot synthpad. If you are into sawtooth or square waves, rock n roll!

 

On another front we have also made progress. The RjDj app is featuring a built in webbrowser which is accessible via the RjDj.me tab on the bottom right side. We started to call this part of our app the iApp and it is handling all the scene downloading, recording uploading, your account etc. Last night we updated the iApp and included some useful features

For a limited time, we have made the RjDj Album and RjDj Shake free in the iTunes App Store, so that you can share the wonders of RjDj with more people. This is a great time to tell some friends to check out RjDj.

Apple just notified us that the RjDj single and RjDj shake is approved. We were working on this release for quite a while and i can’t tell you how good it feels to have this finally out :-)

So what is RjDj 0.7 all about? It is about making things accessible. In RjDj 0.7 you can download new scenes and share your recordings. If you are an artist who wants to create scenes, you are now able to upload your scenes through our website. In order to get this all working, we have created not only new features in all RjDj players but also created a brand new web application.
