Challenge: Bebot only tracks.

I agree 100%. Bebot-only tracks for the win. Maybe this should be the next charity album for Doug!

Yeah OK, on second thought maybe not...

Somewhere, a chorus of robot angels is singing!

Praise Bebot!

I'm sure I can do whatever Bebot does with a million other apps that I own but it's just not as much FUN.

Great to see positive posts here! All the negative ones are getting tedious.

Love me some Bebot! Might have been one of my first iOS audio apps or definitely within the first half dozen.

Sure wish the dev of Hexaglyph would bring that back. I lost it in my last iPad upgrade. Hadn't backed up the app itself up. Now it's not even in the store anymore. But it's awesome that Bebot will continue to live. I was just sure he wouldn't make the iOS11 cut, but there he is, sounding as chipper as ever!

True stuff. It's like I've always said, for years, if Bebot can't put a smile at least somewhere near you then you've succeeded at being terrible.

Hexaglyphics, yes....that and everything in this folder....I fear for most all of their futures.

EDIT: I forgot about BeepBoop. Definitely Bebot's psychotic, murderous brother. No tuxedo for that joker. That app will destroy you within seconds of turning a few knobs!

So many black and white icons. Very cool.

I do think we should celebrate with a bebot only challenge. Who's in?

Am I allowed some drums? Bebot plus drums?

Hmmmm. How about this: extra points for using bebot for drums but not required? I'm thinking a third party app will be required anyway so maybe bebot plus one helper?

Out of this bunch, I can't imagine Shoom or Gestrument going away. And didn't Earhoof already get an update to 64bit a few months ago? Enumero is a fairly new app isn't it?

The rest of those I reckon are toast.

I have been out in the fields/down in the mines/far from shore on the rough working sea all day, but there is indeed a point to our labours and a balm to our brows: Bebot, that scamp, that brother in arms and a tuxedo has been saved to keep our spirits forever aloft as we slog into the uncertain future....there will be hosannas in the humble house tonight my brethren.

db909

Well that did not disappoint

CustomInk.com and a public / secret BeBot society is born.

Drums...definitely.....as long as they were made with BeBot's timbres.

Let's say: all sound sources much originate from the Bot. But what happens to them after the fact, be it resampling, effects, EQ, sequencing, arpeggiator, etc., basic production techniques, those are all fair game should anyone see fit. Of course, pulling off a PURELY Bebot track might just solidify legendary status to those grave individuals who pull it off.

deadline.......soonish? A week?? Flexible. But hurry the hell up.

That Theremin patch is magic. Put it through some AudioDamage stuff and call it a night.

Or run it thru an amp-sim or something similar, I can't put the damned thing down...
On most waves vertical axis controls the filter cutoff and timbre is resonance for some weird wahwah or 'Bebot Acid'

I had almost forgot how fun one can have with BeBot!

I think I am going to get some Bebot t-shirts made.

I'm surprised the dev hasn't done this. Or, a few other devs of the more iconic apps. I'd buy one, and I can think of several other devs apps I'd buy a t-shirt of too.

I floated this idea by Zolotov for SunVox but he didn't seem very interested. You could have a lot of graphic fun with this stuff and I bet most of us iOS app nerds would wear them in the same way some of us wear our favorite band concert t-shirts.

A Bebot shirt does exist. MrsChasteen gifted me with one a couple of birthdays ago.

JohnnyGoodyear

@brice Very good.

I may have one of these sewn onto the front of a black baseball cap. Failing that, a tattoo perhaps. Not on me you understand, don't hold with the notion, but I'm sure I could find someone suitable. Ivory-skinned young girl perhaps. Ideal if she was also a bass player (or at a push an opera singer).

Would like to do a Bebot only piece. Bucket list material really. But at best it would be by the month's end for SOTMC. For now, off to bed a happy camper and will try to dream up something I could sing along to while wearing top hat and tails....

So it does! And there's a link on the dev's page for it. Though it looks like someone else created the art and maybe sharing profit with the dev. http://www.normalware.com

Kinda like Brice's a little better, but the one on the dev's site is tempting.

brice

Haha....what the hell. The one time I make a pretend shirt for an app, and that app actually has one. Too strange!

Sounds perfect to me. I'm shooting for a week but I understand if some stuff arrives for SOMTC. Bebot isn't fussy this way.

Honestly, I think I'd be more inclined to buy your first design than the one on his site. It's nice too, but I think it kind of gets lost on anything but white. Wouldn't do the tux one, but I can see a musician getting a giggle on stage wearing that. If you already reworked his logo and positioned it on that t-shirt site you used, maybe he'd offer a second design? Kinda looked like you had to buy in bulk though... or does that site do one-offs too?

Might not be worth it, because that other tshirt is $20, and I know that's not much mark-up for a print-on-demand tshirt.

JohnnyGoodyear

Much prefer the @brice option.

drelbs23

This I would buy.

Win/win since my kids love Bebot (was one of the first apps my daughter played with) and we tend to get matching shirts in different colors (we love TeeFury!) so we'd be a small team of Bebots traipsing about...

Daveypoo

Same here - my kids absolutely love Bebot. We've had sessions where we bust out the three iPads and old iPhone and of for us get crackin'. It's pretty ridiculous. And totally awesome!

So yeah, I would totally by a Bebot t-shirt. The design above it is much better than the one on their website. Why would you make a t-shirt and not use the original art? It seems a ridiculous, especially when the original art is so perfect. It must be all rights thing or something

Daveypoo

By the way, I love that we're all here debating about whether we should do a Bebot-only challenge, and Doug has already beaten us to it!
