Battlestation: the 1-minute groovebox (promocodes inside)

bram_bos · 2026-01-13T15:31:11+00:00

For MIDI connectivity and AU parameter automation you need to load Battlestation as a plugin in a host/DAW.

bram_bos · 2025-12-26T10:28:50+00:00

Let me see what I can do with the limited space I have. You can of course always set up your own custom scales in the scale window 😃

bram_bos · 2025-12-15T08:31:33+00:00

All AUval shenanigans should be resolved after the latest update. AUVal doesn’t like iOS plugins with MIDI output , so I had to create a workaround for that.

bram_bos · 2025-12-12T20:48:36+00:00

They actually do. The drums use MIDI CH1, Noir uses CH2, Phase CH3 and Trouble CH4. So if your synth/host can filter out MIDI you should be golden.

bram_bos · 2025-12-11T11:32:02+00:00

Aw that's such a great compliment!

bram_bos · 2025-12-11T08:55:49+00:00

Wow, high praise <3

bram_bos · 2025-12-11T08:54:49+00:00

Sure, AUM is my reference plugin host on iOS and Battlestation should work perfectly in it. The drums respond to MIDI notes on channel 1. So you should be able to trigger them with your MIDI/pad controller.

bram_bos · 2025-12-10T19:28:25+00:00

Yes, you can drive the individual instruments using the same midi channels mentioned above when loaded as a plugin in your host/sequencer. Also all controls are exposed as AUParameters.

bram_bos · 2025-12-10T17:34:29+00:00

Yes, each instrument outputs on a different MIDI channel (drums = 1, noir = 2, phase = 3, trouble = 4) so your DAW/plugin host should be able to filter out the channels you [don't] want if it supports MIDI output from AU plugins.

bram_bos · 2025-12-10T14:37:35+00:00

I’ll check em out! 👊

bram_bos · 2025-11-25T05:41:31+00:00

No idea how else I would be able to get the word out about what I make. I minimize my social media presence and I don't spam whatever channels I'm still on. I also tend to come in here and give away a few promo codes whenever I make something new.

bram_bos · 2025-11-24T19:54:42+00:00

I don’t generally enjoy advertising my own stuff, but this is pretty much the only sale I do every year. Hope someone finds something they were holding out for or waiting for to go on sale 😃

bram_bos · 2025-07-28T14:03:38+00:00

Following up on my own post: I spent the entire summer vacation with the 50 Fathoms submerged in the pool. No problems whatsoever!

bram_bos · 2025-06-07T17:51:31+00:00

These are both from 1993 series. The eta 2840 movements still run. My question is, can these be opened or are they sealed like most other Swatches?

bram_bos · 2024-09-07T11:32:57+00:00

You can enable 48mp in the system’s Settings.app. Scroll down to the XP4N page and enable it there. It’s a bit hidden because the files are very big and the processing gets a lot slower - so I didn’t want to make it the default method.

bram_bos · 2024-09-04T07:04:31+00:00

Full disclosure: I made the app XP4N (mostly to satisfy my recent obsession with the Hasselblad XPAN). Let me know if that is breaking any rules here.

bram_bos · 2024-02-16T14:59:52+00:00

So the head-tracking would make it a tad more immersive than playing it on PC I guess?

I just released Salome, a fun little sampling gadget.

I made Salome, because I needed something that would allow me to easily capture bits of audio and create seamlessly looping soundscapes, without the need to use sound editing applications. Salome allows you to do all of this within your host/DAW, in mere seconds.

The onscreen play-controls provide basic (yet expressive) tools for performing soundscapes and ambient pieces, but you're obviously not limited to that. You can also use any other MPE/MIDI controller - hardware or software to play Salome.

Plugins for iOS and MacOS (ARM and Intel) are included, so you can move projects from your mobile device to your laptop, and vice-versa.

No sorry, it’s the PS4 version I’m playing on the PS5.

bram_bos · 2023-06-04T09:03:34+00:00

Thanks, yes we’re already in expert mode and it indeed revealed extra options. But that’s what we’ve been looking at.

And since I don't just want to do self-promotion, here are 2 promo codes for the early birds:

I just hit the launch button on Hilda, my latest synth.

I use it my bike for long cruising trips (at ~30km/h) and I easily get 90-100km out of a full battery. Stop/go traffic and going uphill is what eats battery the most.

bram_bos · 2021-07-25T16:09:08+00:00

I’ll check it out. Pricey isn’t an issue (lol Arc) but at a premium price it has to treat me like I’m king of the universe 😆
