Arpeggionome For iPhone

Arpeggionome Pro: An interactive MIDI arpeggiator designed specifically for iPad. Arpeggionome Pro transforms your iPad into a new and expressive musical instrument. Design intricate patterns of musical notes, then trigger those patterns at different pitches and speeds with an x-y matrix. Tilt the iPad for accelerometer-controlled pitchbend and volume, and with the advanced MIDI implementation, control other iOS MIDI apps, external MIDI gear, and computer software like never before.

What’s New in Version 1.1
Audiobus support and Landscape-orientation support.

A ROCK-SOLID MIDI IMPLEMENTATION
The Arpeggionome Pro’s MIDI implementation is finely tuned to control external MIDI devices, digital audio workstations (such as Ableton Live, Logic, and Pro Tools), and other iOS MIDI Applications (such as GarageBand, Animoog, and DM1).

Compatible MIDI Connections:
•Virtual MIDI ports of other iOS MIDI applications
•CoreMIDI compatible hardware interfaces
•MIDI over WiFi
•MIDI over Bluetooth

MIDI Output Features Include:
•Send MIDI on any of 16 channels
•Select between four Note Gate Modes (Manual, Mono, Legato, and Legato+)
•Control Note Velocity with Knob or Accelerometer
•Control Note Gate with Knob or Accelerometer
•Transmit MIDI CC Messages with Accelerometer
•Transmit Pitchbend Messages with Accelerometer
•Transmit MIDI CC and Pitchbend on any channel
•Adjustable data-range of Accelerometer-controlled messages

MIDI Input Features Include:
•MIDI Time Clock synchronization
•Externally set the Arpeggionome Pro’s pattern with a MIDI keyboard
•Externally set the Arpeggionome Pro’s pattern with Program Change messages
•Quantize the Arpeggionome Pro’s first note to external MIDI Source

DESIGN AN ARPEGGIO FROM SCRATCH.
The Performance Matrix is the Arpeggionome Pro’s main interface component.
•Touch any Control Point in the Performance Matrix to trigger the notes in the pattern
•Move your finger left and right to set the reference-note of the pattern
•Move your finger up and down to set the pattern’s rate
•Control up to 240 notes per second, nearly 15,000 notes per minute

Six button-matrices and eight touch-knobs are used to design the Arpeggionome Pro’s pattern.
•Key: sets the musical key
•Scale: sets the musical scale
•Notes: sets the number of unique notes
•Step Distance: sets the distance between each note
•Notes Style: sets how the pattern moves between notes
•Alignment: sets how the pattern is justified from the reference-note
•Octave Range: sets the starting and ending octaves of the pattern
•Octave Style: sets how the pattern moves between octaves
•Rates: set the pattern’s rate to 50% or 25%.
•Octave Offset: shift the pattern’s starting octave
•Note Offset: shifts the pattern’s starting note
•Velocity: sets MIDI Note Velocity for each note triggered
•Gate: changes the length of each note triggered
•Tempo: sets the global tempo

Arpeggionome is available for $19.99

Kaossonome For iPad

What would happen if you crossed a Monome with a Kaossilator? You would get the Kaossonome by Alexander Randon, an instrument inspired by Korg’s Kaossilator and the Monome. It features Kaoss Pad-like sampling programs and is fully Monome 256 compliant. Additional programs include an algorithmic step sequencer, a beat synced sample chopping performance controller, and many more.

Now you can get the iPad version of this device. It’s called the Arpeggionome. The Arpeggionome is a musical instrument designed specifically for the iPad. With the Arpeggionome, you can design and perform intricate patterns of musical notes at incredible speeds and with precise control.

MUSICAL EXPRESSION AT 480 NOTES PER SECOND.
The Performance Matrix is the Arpeggionome’s main musical interface. Touch any Control Point in the Performance Matrix to trigger the notes in the pattern.
• Move your finger left and right to set the reference-note of the pattern.
• Move your finger up and down to set the pattern’s speed. 

• Control up to 480 notes per second, nearly 30,000 notes per minute.

VIBRATO AND TREMOLO, ESSENTIAL FOR 8-BIT SOLOS.
The iPad’s accelerometer controls vibrato and tremolo.

• For expressive changes in pitch, tilt the iPad left and right to apply vibrato.
• For expressive changes in volume, tilt the iPad forward and backward to apply tremolo.

DESIGN AN ARPEGGIO FROM SCRATCH…
Eight touch-knobs are used to design the Arpeggionome’s pattern. The touch-knobs are also great for performance. They can be changed in real-time, and then double-tapped back to their saved value.

• Key & Scale – sets the key and scale of the pattern.
• Octave Range – sets the starting and ending octaves of the pattern.
• Octave Style – sets how the pattern moves between octaves
.
• Control Range – sets the placement of the Control Points.
• Notes – sets the number of unique notes that will be triggered
.
• Step Distance – sets the distance between each note of the pattern
.
• Notes Style – sets how the pattern moves between notes
.
• Tempo – Sets

 the global tempo.

…OR USE A PRESET.
The Arpeggionome includes a Pattern Library with a wide selection of presets. You can also save your own patterns to the Pattern Library.

BEAUTIFUL AND INFORMATIVE VISUAL FEEDBACK.

The Arpeggionome provides visual feedback for your position in the Performance Matrix, every note you trigger, vibrato amount, and tremolo amount.

• Your position in the Performance Matrix is represented by the intersection of two green lines.

• Every note you trigger flashes green in the keyboard above the Performance Matrix.

• Vibrato and tremolo are represented by the two sliders below the Performance Matrix.

OTHER FEATURES
.
• Includes an interactive tutorial.

• Can be used as a tool for learning music theory.
• iPad HD ready.

The Arpeggionome is available for $4.99
