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

Audio Mastering App For iPad

The first fully functional high-quality audio mastering application for iPad. For everyone who wants to make their music even more excellent. Based on professional sound processing algorithms this application turns your iPad into a real mastering studio.

This all-in-one tool allows you to record and process sound, convert audio formats, change sample rate, convert bit depth, cut part of track for preview and make fade-in and fade-out. Supports Audiobus lets to use it as Effects or Output together with other music applications. Moreover, with an external audio interface, you can use this application as a powerful sound processor or insert effect with your studio gears.

What’s New in Version 1.2
● Supports Audiobus as Effects or Output.
● Recording from Audiobus Effects/Output or from external input.
● Record button on Audiobus connection panel.
● Auto start recording at signal presence.
● Solo mode for Equalizer bands.
● High-quality sample rate converter to 44/48 kHz with 16/24 bits.
● Some minor bugs fixed.

Very easy and clear interface lets you tweak all controls in real time and listening to the final result right away. With built-in presets you can quickly find the general mood of your composition and a slightly tweak to get a best result. If you make own preset that you want to use later, you can save it as a preset hotkey.

Audio processing features:

● Fully 24-bit audio processing algorithms.
● Linear phase 10-bands graphic Equalizer based on phase shifting.
● Three bands Stereo Imaging with common Stereo Width level.
● Harmonic Saturator with three sets of harmonics.
● Loudness Maximizer with adjustable response speed and ceiling.
● High-quality sample rate converter from 96, 88.2, 48 to 44.1 or 48 kHz.
● Bit depth converter supports 16, 24, 32 bits.
● Dithering with noise shaping.
● Solo mode for Equalizer bands.
● Function Normalize at conversion of file.
● Supports .wav, .aif, .mp3, .m4a, .caf audio file formats.

Application features:

● Predefined preset hotkeys, ability to create own presets.
● All processing settings are stored for each file.
● Processing group of selected files.
● Supports Audiobus as Effects or Output.
● Compatible with AudioCopy / AudioPaste.

Control Max With An iPad

Mira Max Conrtoller For iPad

Mira Controller for Max is for users of Max 6 by Cycling ‘74 only. Mira currently requires OS 10.6 or higher as well as Max version 6.1.3.

Mira is the easiest way to control a Max application from an iPad. Launch Mira and it will automatically connect to Max and display the part of your patch you want to control remotely. When you change a button or slider on the iPad, the corresponding Max object changes, with zero setup or network configuration. It is truly a mirror of your Max patch.

Mira controls any number of Max patches on any number of computers. You can also use multiple copies of Mira to control a single patch.

There are no OSC messages to wrangle, and everything you do in Max is immediately reflected in Mira.

Mira Features:

+ Automatically control any number of patches from your device

+ Use mira.frame objects to define viewable regions in your patch. Each frame shows up as a tab in Mira.

+ Support the majority of standard Max UI objects, with more to come.

+ New mira.multitouch object allows for gestural control

+ New mira.motion object sends accelerometer data from your device

+ Multiple instances of Mira can control a single patch for collaborative performance

+ Works over WiFi or an ad-hoc network

We wanted to make it easier to connect your iPad to Max, so you could focus on the important part – using your patch! Mira handles all networking details so you can start controlling your Max patches in two easy steps. First, place a mira.frame object in your patch — this represents the screen of the iPad. Then, drop UI objects onto the frame, and they instantly appear on your device, ready to use.

Each mira.frame you add in Max creates a new tabbed view in Mira, so you can organize the control of your patch into multiple pages.

Mira is available for $49.99

· Two filters per voice with configurable routing. 15 filter types available, including less common like Comb, Formant or Frequency shifter.
· The Morph Group function lets you continuously morph of up to 30 parameters in a sound (including effects), using only the modulation wheel.
· Full support for CoreMidi, MIDI mapping, Virtual Midi Ports and background audio.
· Multi mode lets you multiply oscillators to get unbelievably fat and full sound.
· Support for microtuning – load scl and tun files. Create fascinating microtonal music which uses intervals not found in the Western system of 12 equal intervals to the octave.

OSCILLATORS
· 2 warm-sounding analog modelled oscillators, 2 sub-oscillators (except SuperSaw). Available waveforms: Saw, PWM pulse,Triangle, SuperSaw, FM (frequency of phase modulation). 6 oscillators per voice in multi-sono mode.
· Oscillator 2 hard-sync and configurable routing
· FM (true frequency modulation) and PM mode
· Osc-mix, ring modulator
· White noise oscillator

FLEXIBLE MULTI FILTERS
· Two independent filters per voice with configurable routing. Filter types: LPF, HPF, BPF, Analog LPF, Notch, Comb, All pass, Power LPF, Power BPF, Wave shaper, Resonator, Resampler, LPF+Resampler, Frequency shifter.
· Configurable routing: serial or parallel with bypass option.
· ADSR envelope, keyboard tracking and full LFO control.

MODULATION
· Two LFOs per voice. It’s possible to assign each LFO to almost any parameter. 3 LFO running modes: trigger, 1 shot, global. 6 waveforms, phase and fade-in knobs.
· The Morph Group function lets you continuously morph of up to 30 parameters in a sound (including effects), using only the modulation wheel.
· Two Modulation ADSR Envelopes for amplitude and filters cutoff.
· Pitch and modulation wheels.

EFFECTS
· A number of effects are built in: distortion, hi-q reverb, chorus, rotary speaker simulation, equalizer, phaser and stereo delay. Dual-band FX processing.

· Sunrizer incorporates very powerful programmable arpeggiator. You should think of it more like a small step sequencer.

OTHER FEATURES
· Over 380 presets, 7 additional banks available for FREE in web library (more coming soon)
· Hold button allows you to to keep notes sustaining until you play new notes
· With Chord Memory function you can play the chord by only pressing single keys
