Jasuto Pro Synth For iPad

Jasuto Pro allows you to visually construct your own synths/effects, and use them to make sequences all on your device! With the addition of a fully-featured sampler you can now record/resample/edit, and even create entirely new samples by drawing right in the app.

Jasuto Pro uses the relative position of nodes and their connections to control the sound. So the scene not only represents the synthesis structure, but also a custom multi-touch control surface. Motion can be recorded per node giving you rich, flexible automation.

Connections can be created automatically by simply dragging nodes around, or manually. Each wire can be double-tapped to allow even more control of each connection.

Jasuto Pro comes installed with more than 45 modules. Each of the modules have been hand-optimized for your devices CPU, allowing you to create extremely complex scenes.

Jasuto Pro has a built-in FTP server, so you can efficiently transfer files to/from your device using your OS or FTP client. Also the new scene browser has the ability to download/upload/rate user created content from the ever growing community!

Sound Cells For iPhone and iPod Touch

Sound Cells is an interactive generative music app. Just touch the matrix to create some moving cells and see them interact with each other and generate sound in realtime.

If a cell hits the wall, it creates a sound. If a cell ends up in the same location as another one, they change directions. You can remove cells by touching them or by hitting the cell removing button.

The app comes with the 2 different sounds, which can be controlled in realtime for very expressive effects.
Also the app can generate MIDI output, so you can hook up a midi capable instrument for endless possibilities.
On the newest version, it is possible to choose the scale that the app will use, the tempo and the key. This allows the app to be able to become a performance tool, where it can play along different musical settings.

This is a universal app and on the iPad, it will use the full available resolution for a rich visual experience.

What’s New in Version 1.2

Added ability to sync to external midi clock signal and support for background audio.

Sound Cells is available for $0.99

Magic Stave iPhone & iPod Touch App
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Magic Stave iPhone App

Magic Stave listens to you singing or playing an instrument and displays the notes played on a music stave and shows the note position on a piano keyboard or guitar fretboard.

Automatically detects the key signature you’re singing/playing.

Has a built-in tuner so you can see exactly how sharp or flat you are or tune your guitar to.

NOTE The free version does not allow you to use Magic Stave as a composition/ideas notepad. The midi recorder version will let you record detected notes as a MIDI file then export to GarageBand (or other sequencer) to hear it and see the music notation. Seems this company has used the same copy and detail information for both their free and paid version but the features are much different.

A brilliant tool for seasoned music professionals and beginners alike. Ideal for supporting you as you learn to read music or vocalists away from an instrument and want to know whether you’re singing in tune.

Learning to read music and not sure whether the note you’re playing is right? Magic Stave shows you the note you’re actually playing and you can compare that with the sheet music you’re reading to check you’ve hit the right note.

Are you a singer reading music? Magic Stave will display the notes you’re singing so you can ensure you’re hitting the right note! Magic Stave can tell you the key you’re singing in too!

Ever wondered how high or low you can sing? Magic Stave will show you instantly. Works great with all transposing instruments too.

Magic Stave is now a MIDI recording note pad too! Just play/sing your idea while recording and import the midi file into any Sequencer/DAW like Logic or Sibelius.

Magic Stave:
. Midi records detected notes.
. Auto detect key signature.
. Share Midi recordings via iTunes/Wifi/Website/Email
. Note History
. Displays notes on Grand, Treble or Bass Clefs.
. Displays notes in any major or minor keys.
. Displays notes on a piano keyboard.
. Display notes on a guitar fretboard.
. Displays note names and optional octave information,
. Displays the frequencies of detected notes.
. Cent Tuning Meter.
. Transposes detected notes up to 12 semitones up or down
. Will detect notes accurately and fast in the range C2 to C6
. Allows the configuration of the reference A frequency (just in case your piano is not quite in tune!).

Works with iPod Touches if you plug in a microphone too. Note that this app detects monophonic sounds (not chords).

What’s New in Version 1.1.7

. Minor UI enhancements
. Improved stability
. Reduced memory consumption

Magic Stave is available for $2.99

TR-707 Drum Machine For iOS

Tr-707 For iOS

mobileRhythm mR-7070 – Vintage Drum Machine for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Drum machine app with an unmistakable 1980’s look and sound.

History behind the Roland TR-707: It resembles the popular TR-909, and better yet, its hi-hat, cymbals, and clap sound almost identical to the TR-909. It has some other cool features not available on the 909. It has Matrix display which clearly maps out your pattern for you in an easy to read display panel.

For programming, it features a shuffle and flam effect and its programming abilities are very impressive. But it does have its limitations, the only adjustment you can make to each drum tone is volume.

App Features:

-MIDI in, out and MIDI clock out
-Precise tempo control with digital readout.
-4×16 banks for pattern storage.
-Individual faders for each drum sound.
-Multiple beat divisions for crazy time signatures with adjustable last step.
-Rock solid timing.
-Grid-view pattern display.
…And much more.

The hardware drum machines and beatboxes from the 1980’s have defined musical genres from House, Acid, Hip-Hop, right up to and including the latest Dub-step, Grime and other electronic music beats.

The mR-7070 works just like the original beatboxes, and anyone who is a fan of music will instantly recognise the classic sounds it produces.

Its easy to program even complicated beats and with plenty of storage space to store your creations.

MIDI settings are in the iOS settings app, and will work with any “CORE MIDI” interface.

mR-7070 is NO LONGER AVAILABLE
