If jamming on virtual keyboards or guitars no longer seems to interest you, you might want to check out developer Guyver2's newest musical homebrew creation: Monome for the PlayStation Portable. The latest build of the app cleans up the interface with improved graphics and gives it the ability to synch its tempo with the upper and lower lines.

For those of you not familiar with Monome, it's basically a simulator of an electronic beat machine which allows you to set timed beats across a checkerboard layout of varied synthesized tunes. Users have the option of changing the speed and timing of the beats through the use of the application's different controls.

Here's the list of changes included since our previous coverage of Monome:

• Graphics and sounds revised by Genevois
• 2 x 8 trails
• Ability to synchronize tempo with upper and lower lines

As always, don't forget to read the documentation included in the file bundle for details on the program's handheld controls. The developer mentioned that this will be the final version of Monome, so we hope you enjoy this using interesting musical app from Guyver2.
