New Addition to the Autobots!

Friday, February 13th, 2009

That’s right Transformers fans, the Autobots have a new addition! Chevrolet is proud to announce that “Sideswipe” will be played by the new Corvette Stingray Concept. Announced and unveiled yesterday at the Chicago Auto Show, Sideswipe rolled out all crouched and silver, muscular and menacing, ready to pounce. Across his haunches is written “Stingray,” and indeed, a ray glides gently down his voluptuous flanks. The resemblance is unmistakable. The stiff, arching creases over the fenders standing proud over a bulging, muscular hood; the angular split windows curving down over a tapered tail scream “I’m a Corvette – from the future!”

It has been more than a decade since a new Corvette concept has appeared, and it will now be taking the world by storm.

An MPC on your iPhone?

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Why go to the studio when you can knock out a beat on your phone?

BeatMaker, a sampler/sequencer for your iPhone or iPod Touch that allows you to record and make beats on the go. The app created by Intua is very similar to the infamous Akai MPC, allowing you to create loops and beats and play them back in real time. BeatMaker also includes a three-channel EQ, synchronized delay, bitcrusher and get this, MIDI is also in the works for future app updates… how dope is that?!
