Mail of the Month - July


Though simple, and created mostly for novelty and nostalgia, the VL-Tone app has for a long time been one of the most popular synth apps on Google Play. Some user comments say why:

VL-Tone On My Phone! I still have my VL-Tone from when I was a kid and this app is a superbly crafted salute to it. In fact, with the touchscreen its effortless to jam out, compared to working those old clackity keys... well done! Most fun I've had since I found the vst plugin
 One-liner history lesson:
With Casiotone, they made wonders, Midge Ure, Frank Tovey, Martin L Gore, Billy Currie.
 And the balanced review:
Very solid Not stupid, not awesome.

Finally! Started to write a Fakebook Pro Manual...

OK, I know this should have been done a long time ago. But, as most developers, I tend to avoid writing user manuals and other documentation.
