100 Downloads, Free Bonus for All Users

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

It has only been a week since the release of the Salsa Rhythm application for iPhone, and we have already had more than 100 downloads of the new application. Excited by this quick adoption and download rate we have decided to create a free standalone, downloadable version of the iPhone application that can run on your desktop and laptop PCs.

This means you can enjoy all the benefits of the iPhone application also on your PC, without needing any internet connection: the new Salsa Rhythm app for PC looks just like the real iPhone version and works the same way the iPhone version does, bringing the power of the iPhone application to your desktop too.  I have a screenshot to show you what it looks on my Windows XP computer – Yeah, it really is an iPhone-lookalike running the Salsa Rhythm from within my desktop.

The new iPhone Simulator 1.0 version of Salsa Rhythm will be available for download during July, without any charge, and we will let you register for a free download starting from tomorrow. The link for registration & download will be published on this blog and also on social media, facebook and twitter tomorrow, so stay tuned…

Free PC version of the Salsa Rhythm for iPhone Application

Previewing the new version, soon available for free download

Flash Player 10.1 support is here !

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

It’s been only two weeks since the release of Adobe Flash Player 10.1, but since we have received a lot of support calls from people who could not get the Salsa Rhythm Software running with the new flash player, we have decided to create a new version, resolving the compatibility issues with Flash Player 10.1.

The updated version is available for all donors free of charge, and can be downloaded by following the instructions here:

Flash Player 10.1 and the Salsa Rhythm Software

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

Adobe has released the long-waited version 10.1 of the Flash Player just a little more than a week ago. Ever since, I have began getting reports from users about problems they had experienced with running the Salsa Rhythm Software on their machines.

As it turns out, adobe has changed the internals of their Flash Player in the 10.1 release, and the changes make it incompatible with older Flash Player 10.0. Thus, any of you who will upgrade their player to the new 10.1 version will no longer be able to run the Salsa Rhythm Software on their computer.

We know this may pose a problem to some of the users, and we are working very hard to get a new version which will be compatible with the new Flash Player released as soon as possible. Follow this blog and we will post an announcement as soon as such version will be available.

You can easily check what version of Flash Player you have on your system by going to this page and looking inside the “Version Information” box to the right of the text.

Sandrine, a user of the Salsa Rhythm Software, has sent us the following instructions, how to go back to Flash Player 10.0 in case you have already installed the new 10.1 version:

  1. Download the uninstall_flash_player.exe program from adobe site here and run it. This will uninstall Flash Player 10.1 from your system.
  2. Install the lastest 10.0 ActiveX version of the Adobe Flash Player. You can download it here.

Thank you Sandrine for sharing this information with us!

Finally, we are about to release the first RC version (Release Candidate) of the Salsa Rhythm for iPhone. all users who have applied to our beta program will get a copy to play with.

Salsa Rhythm Software for 64-bit windows systems

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

The “Salsa Rhythm Software”, which is the standalone version of the online Salsa Beat Machine, is now available for systems running the 64-bit version of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Up to now, there was a problem in the Adobe Flash Player release that caused the program not to function under 64-bit systems. The new release works this problem around by lunching the Flash Player in 32-bit compatibility mode, thus allowing all users to enjoy the standalone Salsa Beat Machine version.

All past and current donors (listed at our http://www.SalsaBeatMachine.org/donate) are eligible for downloading the new version. Send us an email to beatmachine@salsa4fun.co.il with your request, and we will email you your personal download link for this new version.

If you do not own a copy of the standalone “Salsa Rhythm Software”, you may wish to consider donating – all donors are eligible for a copy. Starting from the next month, the software will also be available for purchasing online. You can find all the information needed to make your donations here:
