Re: a great iphone looper [thumbjam]

I'm glad some of you finally found ThumbJam, I posted an announcement
here when it first came out but it was met with crickets :)

The next version will be coming out soon which includes
interoperability with other apps via Sonoma's AudioCopy/Paste and
BeatMaker's pasteboard.  It also lets you more easily create your own
instruments by sampling them onboard or importing them from your own
files via WiFi.  Import and export of loops to start from was already
there.

Some people have requested being able to live-loop from the microphone
(vs. just the instruments) and this was a feature long in the
pre-release version.  But when Apple released the iphone OS 3.x
something in it changed the low-latency performance when in the
full-duplex audio mode and it was no longer usable at the buffer sizes
I demanded for good instrument playability (256 sample buffers at
44100, eg: 5-10 ms).  I'm hoping to revive it sometime in the near
future.

The next version will also feature some new instrument samples
provided by Jordan Rudess (keyboardist from Dream Theater), who is a
big iphone music app supporter.
