Major Star6 Update

"Here's what's new:
- Quantization, which keeps you on-beat when jumping between samples. You control when the jump occurs, anything from 1/16th of a beat to 4 full beats. Given that Star6 is all about jumping around among a set of samples, this makes a huge difference.

- The BPM control is right out front now, and includes a scrubbing interface for rapid BPM changes up/down.

- You now have the option for BPM changes to either vary or maintain pitch.

- Reset / un-reset toggling, which allows you to jump back and forth between the original sample and your all-munged-up version

- Major UI & usability improvements everywhere

- Many smaller tweaks like tap-to-BPM, the ability to download and automatically install sample packs from the www.Star6app.com website directly within your iPhone/iPod, and better sounding effects.

We think the result is about 2X more fun than Star6 1.0!

One final important note: Star6's intro pricing (currently $6.99) is coming to an end soon -- on January 18th, the price goes up to $9.99. We'd appreciate it if you can help spread the word on the increase as well."

Star6 Demo @ State-X New Forms - Den Haag, NL.

Star6 Demo @ State-X New Forms - Den Haag, NL. from Star6 on Vimeo.

"Star6 was invited to do a little demonstration on Dec12, 2009 at the State-X New Forms festival in Den Haag, NL. We asked the group of musicians playing the festival that day if they had some extra time to try to have some fun with us, and we were lucky enough to get 3 great acts to join co-founder Jason Forrest on the small Prakpodium stage. They were: Falty DL, Yobkiss, and Mia Mia! The evening was a ton of fun- as you can see- and we look forward to doing more events soon!
