Malte of Miselu sends in the following news. Pics & video below via Engadget. You might remember Miselu from this post, and this post."I wanted to share a few exiting updates with you that we will show live at Google I/O starting today.
Since SXSW the hardware reference design continues to mature, but mainly focused on the software side and have released our music SDK alpha to a select group of developers that used our Miselu emulator environment (alpha for Mac and Linux) to the build apps.
Yamaha has produced a Vocaloid application prototype for the Miselu platform. The app (codename “MV-01”) is produced by music game designer luminary Tetsuya Mizuguchi. Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer technology developed by Yamaha that uses concatenative synthesis to splice and process vocal fragments extracted from human voice samples. Vocaloid allows to create an authentic computer-generated singing voice with text-to-lyics capability. More details.
Korg is bringing a software implementation of their world-renowned synthesizer, the Polysix, to the Miselu platform.In addition Plasma Sound, the premiere music instrument for Android, was ported to our device. The developer didn’t have access to the hardware and solely used the SDK and emulator.
Retronyms expanded their nStudio suite for Miselu [video of early version here]. Retronym’s cofounder Dan Walton says, 'Miselu has designed something really special. Neiro is much more then a tablet with a piano keyboard attached. For the first time we have a touch based hardware platform dedicated to music. The wide control screen gives this little instrument unlimited potential. Miselu has gone the extra mile to reduce audio latency making this one of the most responsive devices we have seen.'
We are also pleased to announce the addition of Jory Bell as the company’s CTO. Jory was cofounder and CEO of OQO, a San Francisco startup that created the ultra-mobile computing (UMPC). Before Jory was at Apple Computer, where he helped design several laptop models and was responsible for co-inception of the Titanium Powerbook."
