Salsa Rhythm 1.4 for iPhone is arriving

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

We have just uploaded a new version of the Salsa Rhythm iPhone application to the iTunes appstore. The new version is currently waiting for Apple’s approval, and it should be available to download within a week or so.

Features in the new version:

  1. Control the Clave orientation directly from the main screen (see the screen shot below). You no longer need to open the settings screen for changing the clave orientation.
  2. “Overlay audio” mode – Lets the Salsa Rhythm play over music from other applications, so you can put it on the top of a song from your iTunes music library, for example. This new setting is configurable from within the settings window.
  3. iAds – There are now iAds integrated in the embedded in-app browser. We have not included any iAds in the main screen nor the instruments configuration screens, in order to keep these screens clean and keep the users’ focus on the main app functionality.
  4. The memory management code was rewritten, fixing a few memory leaks that existed in previous versions.

You can see the new clave orientation switch marked in red in the screen shot below:

New version of the iPhone Application has just been uploaded to the iTunes AppStore: Salsa Rhythm v1.2.

So what’s new in this release?

  1. Ability to switch between Clave 2-3 and Clave 3-2 , both in Rumba and Son Clave modes.
  2. “Reset to Factory Settings” button to get the machine back to the default configuration.
  3. Compatible with the new iOS 4.1
  4. Updates to the help and links screens, including new “Troubleshooting” section.

It usually takes around 2 weeks for apple to approve a new version, so meanwhile let’s just keep on dancing while we are waiting for apple’s approval…

Salsa Rhythm for iPhone now on the iTunes Appstore

Friday, July 9th, 2010

The long-waited iPhone version of the Salsa Beat Machine is now available for download under the name “Salsa Rhythm”. You can find it by searching for “Salsa Rhythm” in your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad AppStore, or even easier, you can go directly to this appstore link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/salsa-rhythm/id379868541?mt=8 and click the blue “View In iTunes” button on the right.

If you like the new Salas Rhythm application, please take a minute and leave a review in the appstore. If we see that the iPhone application becomes popular and gets more than 80 reviews and ratings, we will purchase an iPad device and start working on developing a new version designed especially for the iPad.

Thank you for your patience waiting for this release, and be sure that we are already working on our next release, Salsa Rhythm for iPhone v1.1, with exciting new features.

iPhone Application sent to Appstore

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Following the post from Saturday, we have finally submitted version 1.0 of the application to the iTunes Appstore. It still has to go through apple’s application approval process, which can take up to two weeks, but after it will have been approved it is going to appear on the appstore immediately and be available for download worldwide.

The application’s initial price will be 0.99$, it will be titled “Salsa Rhythm” and will have a stylish red icon. We are also creating a cool online demo for the application – more on that later…

Salsa Rhythm iPhone Application is Ready !

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

We have finally reached the final release of the Salsa Rhythm iPhone Application version 1.0. The project is running for three months already, and it would not have been the same without all the help we have received from our users. We have compiled a list of all the people who helped in putting this release together, including the beta-testers, proof-readers, user-interface sketchers, and graphic designers. It is so amazing to see how many different countries are involved:

This list clearly shows that collaboration of people coming from different countries can achieve great results, and it is also included in the “about” screen of the final version, to let the world see how united the global Salsa scene is.

We will be uploading this version to apple for the Appstore approval process today, and once approved it will be available for everyone to download. The work, however, is not done yet – there’s an outstanding list of features waiting for version 1.1. So expect more to come…

Last but not least – We are working on an exciting preview site for the upcoming version, with some very exciting features. Stay tuned, more updates on this in the following days.

Thanks again to all the people who helped us with putting together this release,
together we have done this, and better !
