Aphelian Electro Funk Demo
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

Aphelian iPad app

APHELIAN features a new kind of sequencer, based on a geometrical metaphor. The interface is composed of 4 independent instruments, distributed in the corners. Each instrument has a SHAPE that function as a TIMELINE.

The user can DRAW EVENTS in the TIMELINE to create melodies. The SHAPES are located over a NOTE MAP that defines the NOTE of each EVENT. The SHAPES can be easily transformed using gestures that take full advantage of the touch screen.

Any transformation in the SHAPE results in a predictable modification in the musical composition. APHELIAN offers an amazing balance between joyful exploration and accurate detail control, proposing an organic way to compose music.

Inspired by Johannes Kepler’s geometrical model of the solar system, where the planets play melodies as they orbit the sun assembling a cosmic symphony.

FEATURES
4 orbital sequencer engines.
1 Global Harmonic controller
4 Internal Synthesizers.
1 Internal Drum machine.

SUPPORTS: Inter App Audio, Ableton Link Sync, MIDI OUT per channel (Note on/off and Control Change), Audiobus and Audiobus State

Organize/Backup your sessions and banks through the Files App

Share your sessions using the standard share menu
