Musical Meetup at Macworld/iWorld with Smule and moForte!

This year we've been offered a special opportunity to meet at Macworld, and following the many creative tools and apps that have appeared there, we'll be focusing on music and music apps.

We've got two great talks planned. First we'll hear from Smule (http://smule.com)'s Chief Product and Design Officer Jeannie Yang and Nick Kruge, Smule's Director of Product Design. They'll be giving a brief overview of their design process followed by an in-depth look into the interaction design and audio of their latest app "Guitar!".

Then Pat Scandalis of moForte.com (http://www.moforte.com) will talk about generating music in real time by physically modeling musical instruments... on mobile devices! Check out this video (http://youtu.be/DFdaJgf_DTk) of moForte's first app.

Also, Alohar Mobile (https://www.alohar.com) will be giving away an iPad! To enter, we'll ask you to share your name and email address with them using Aleksey Novicov's new Slip app. We'll have a special version of Slip at the meetup to collect entries and to run the drawing. To be ready, download Slip from the App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slip/id752228884?mt=8) and be sure that you have your name and email address in your iPhone address book.

Please note that since we'll be meeting inside the conference center, a Macworld pass will be required to attend. If you don't have a pass to Macworld yet and won't be attending the full conference, you can use the promo code "DMU" to get a $10 Exhibits Only pass to Macworld/iWorld.

And if that's not enough (how could it not be?) we have a late addition to our speakers: Mark Godfrey, the lead developer and audio guru of Smule's auto rap. He'll be joining to speak about the autorap 2.0 that was released yesterday (currently featured under best new apps in AppStore).
