The new version of the Salsa Beat Machine is finally ready!

Some of the major changes in this version include:

  1. Unified Mixer interface that replaces the old Instruments tab
  2. New “Visualizer” display, displaying the beat count along with animated congas and claves that move along with the music
  3. New sound sample for the Clave instrument
  4. Improved sound engine, with much more accurate beat display
  5. Play/Pause button, as requested by many users, and buttons to mute/unmute all instruments at once
  6. Popup menu for controlling instrument properties and changing patterns

You can view the new version immediately by going to our homepage, http://www.SalsaBeatMachine.org/, and clicking the big blue “Start the Beat Machine” button.

Users of the standalone version can also download an update for free, using our download portal page at http://www.SalsaBeatMachine.org/download.html.

We hope you enjoy this new release and looking forward to hearing your feedback, comments and suggestions.

New user interface for the Salsa Beat Machine

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

It’s been a while since my last post and a lot of stuff has been going behind the scenes… I will keep posting in the following days to keep you on the loop with the latest news and updates of the Salsa Beat Machine.

I have decided to redesign the user interface of the Salsa Beat Machine to make it easier to navigate and a newer look. The new design is already live and you can see it in our website: http://www.SalsaBeatMachine.org/.

This is just one of many incremental updates that I have planned. In a few days a newer version with additional changes will be up for you to see such as this preview for example displaying an upcoming version with a different look:

The previous user interface is still available, and you can easily switch between the two. I am waiting to hear your feedback, and I hope you will find this new version more useful and attractive.

Until the next post…
