A year end letter from Soundbrenner
2021 is almost over and wow, has it been a busy year!
We kicked off the year with the launch of Soundbrenner Plus for iOS. Consequently, it brought many of the most often requested features to our iOS app. Additionally, everyone can now easily generate a link to share a song or a full set list. Furthermore, you don't even have to be a subscriber for sharing or importing songs and set lists this way! On top of that, the full library is now synchronized across all your devices where you're logged in with your Soundbrenner account.
Soundbrenner Plus
We're excited to announce that our engineers have been hard at work to bring Soundbrenner Plus to Android, and it will be ready in Q1 next year! Best of all, it will come with all the same features as for iOS and a full redesign of the Library that adds many features that had previously been missing on Android. Plus, the whole library will be cross-platform supported, so you can share songs between iOS & Android devices and even log in both types of devices and keep the library completely in sync.
Minuendo Lossless Earplugs
After Soundbrenner Plus, we launched earplugs from our partner brand Minuendo, which, remarkably, have received a smashing reception. Wow! We could never have expected this!
Many musicians love the variable slider to adjust the volume without taking the earplugs out. Additionally, they appreciate the many tip options and more. If you don't know what I'm talking about, definitely check out the Minuendo.
Stomp Bluetooth foot pedal
After the success of Minuendo we partnered with Coda Music to launch their Stomp Bluetooth foot pedal on our store. With that came Android support for Bluetooth foot pedals to our app (which was already supported prior to our iOS app). We even launched a special Coda x Soundbrenner special edition of Stomp in teal color.
It's been great to introduce our favorite music tech products to the Soundbrenner community - expect more to come in the near future!
Core
We also launched several free software updates for Core. For example, we added a highly requested Alarm feature to the Core via a firmware update. You can now create silent, vibrating alarms on the Core. Moreover, you can even automatically repeat them on certain weekdays. All of this can be done from the convenience of your wrist.
Thanks to the community for these awesome suggestions. You can make your own suggestions and upvote what we should build next on.
We are already hard at work on the next features and more free updates will be released in 2022!
Towards the end of the year, we released our first special edition for the Core Steel that is limited to just 777 units. Additionally, comes with a special engraving, a handwritten card with your unit number and most importantly a special sandblasted silver finish paired with an Italian, brown leather strap. We're almost sold out, so make sure to grab one if this sounds like something you would love! https://www.soundbrenner.com/shop-core
2021 was clearly Soundbrenner's best year yet, but 2022 is bound to be even more exciting. Stay tuned for many more product launches and software updates to come. In the meantime, what would you like to see next? Additionally, how was 2021 for you? I would love to hear from you. Feel free to reach me via florian@soundbrenner.com.
