Salsa Rhythm beta 2 is Ready!

[Uri Shaked]

Dear community members,

The second beta of the Salsa Rhythm app for Android is here! We appreciate all your valuable feedback so far, and you will notice many changes based on your feedback. The most prominent changes are:

1. The application no longer automatically starts playing when opened.
2. The "lights" bar removed, as people reported it was inaccurate
3. The user interface on tablets was redesigned to take advantage of the extra screen space, showing instrument names and the names of the patterns they are playing.

There are a lot more changes, including better memory management and error reporting. We will send the download link to the new beta in the following 24 hours to all users who have registered to the beta program.

Looking forward for your feedback on the new beta version,

Uri.

Hi and thanks for your news ...

I had a remark on the picture of the bass. may be I am wrong but it looks like an alto (violin) I wonder if the tuning pins are that large in a real bass, the global shape is also a tad different !

For the measure bar If you can have a visual spot that is accurate enough that should be nice , a simple red light on 1 or 1-4, whatever,
Even if it is not always precise one can use it whenever he is not sure of the "one".. after a few measures even with delay or some timing errors it can help. (I guess up to half a beat error should be OK as long as the idea is to find the clave orientation)

Just my opinion

Have a nice day (it gets a tad cold here in France !)

My comprehension of clave and clave changes goes on sloqly (but it begin to be accessible !)

Find those very complete study on Timba.com : http://www.timba.com/artist_pages/study-clave-changes

ABout "swing" on the clave itself, I have no real new idea, but ther is a deep analysis on how the clave orientation exist and is heard in one of those writings...
