I’m in San Francisco to attend Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference(WWDC). I’m eager to learn new CoreAudio architecture on iPhone and coming Mac OS, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

If you are around by any chance, please nudge me via iChat (my account is nao1091@mac.com).

cheers,

Massh! @ DEMOsa Demo Party

Filed under: Movies — nao @ 10:58 am

I gave a presentation on Massh! at “DEMOsa“, a demo party organized by a Macintosh programmers’ group in Japan. I talked about the background concept of the project and gave a short demonstration of the web application.

The presentation is IN JAPANESE.

Known Issues

Filed under: Updates — nao @ 9:19 pm

First of all, I’d like to thank you all for your participation to the alpha testing of Massh! I already have a few dozens of testers trying it out. Thank you very much.

I have gotten a few feedbacks from users. As I mentioned, Massh! is still in the early(?!) developmental stage and I have tons of things to do. I’d like to list known problems and shortcomings of current version of Massh, here.

  1. Settings of Envelope and Filter are not stored in the DB. So you cannot recall the previous settings next time you load your mashup.
    Envelope and Filter sometimes don’t work properly.
    “Loop Search” occasionally loads wrong loops. (FIXED: 2008.4.3)
    Incompatibility with IE 7 has been reported. (not yet confirmed by myself) - (Thank you, Mr Ogura, for reporting)

As the alpha test continues, this list may get longer (hopefully, not too long). I’ll try to fix these bugs/problems one by one. So please be patient.

I’d really appreciate feedbacks from you. Thanks again,

Hello Massh! Alpha Testing Started.

Filed under: News — admin @ 12:00 am

I’m happy to announce that Massh! is ready for alpha testing.
It could be a beta test, but I guess “alpha” is more appropriate :-)
To start Massh!, simply click the following button (or the button on “Start” page).

Start-Massh-Fin
(08.4.22 FINISHED! Thank you all for your participation to our first alpha testing. We’ll be back with better Beta version. See you soon again.)

You can use it and mashup tunes without any user registration. But in order to submit your own loop or save your mashup, you need to sign up into our forum (click here to jump to the user registration directly). Once signed up, you can use the same username / password to login on Massh!

I’ll definitely write about things like:

* How to use Massh!
* Known problems
* Coming features
* Basic concept behind the project.

in a few days (I know it still has quite a few big bugs… ). For the moment, I’d like to let users to explore and figure out by themselves.

One more thing: I haven’t come up with a good name for this project. I kinda like Massh! (it’s mass + mash in fact). Simple and easy to remember. But I’m not sure how it looks and sounds to native English speakers. I also think that the word “mashup” is overused and adding “mash” to your project name is like calling your software “i-something” (no personal insult)

If you have any ideas or thoughts on the project and its name, please please let me know. Your suggestions are ALWAYS more than welcome.
