See music from a new perspective with Rhythm Necklace, the playful yet powerful tool for improvisation and composition. Tap, flip and rotate simple shapes to explore complex polyrhythms. Gestural control of beat distribution algorithms allows for the step-by-step generation of rhythmic shapes. Layer intricate beats in a matter of minutes, then save them for later or export to MIDI.
– Build rhythms on up to four necklaces.
– Adjust the length of each individual cycle to quickly create complex rhythmic ratios
– Use a collection of rhythm building algorithms and geometric transformations to create and morph your rhythm.
-Tap your tempo, use a slider for transitions, or manually type the global speed of your song
– Choose from a variety of pitched sounds and percussive sample sets.
– Quickly modulate between notes in four musical modes (pentatonic, major, minor, chromatic) and five octaves.
– Customize the attack and panning of sounds to suit your composition
– Save your sessions and export them as midi.
– E-mail copies of midi sessions to yourself. These can be opened and edited on most DAWs.
– Midi in/out allows you to fully customize your sounds and record your compositions in real time within an external DAW environment.
The term ‘rhythm necklace’ is used in music to refer to circular representations of repeating patterns. By thinking about rhythms as shapes rather than a linear timeline, it’s easier to see geometric properties that make them enjoyable, such as evenness and symmetry. Often, even subtle changes to the visual interface can completely transform how a rhythm sounds. Rhythm Necklace is a tool for both advanced and novice musicians alike, as well as anyone who wants to think about rhythms in a new way.
Yamaha celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Yamaha Synthesizers with the Yamaha Synth Book. This app features a complete history of Yamaha Synthesizers, an integrated virtual analog soft synth, and serves as a portal to Yamaha’s online synth communities.
6 FEATURES:
– HISTORY features detailed, behind the scenes information about the 40-year design and development history of Yamaha synthesizers. This fascinating historical accounting of the technological breakthroughs behind some of the most innovative, musical and successful Yamaha synthesizers is a must-read for all synth fans.
– AN2015 features virtual analog modeling like the AN1x. It also features a drum part that can keep the beat going while you perform and control the main synth part.
● Use case 1: Enjoy it as a standalone iOS app
There are 2 modes available, SYNTH mode and Drum mode that work at the same time, e.g. when drum phrase is playing, Analog sound can be selectable and playable with the drum phrase, and vice versa without stopping ongoing music.
● Use case 2ÅFUse it with a MOXF as an external tone generator!
When connected to the Yamaha MOXF Music Production Synthesizer (OS version 1.10) using the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter by Apple, the MOXF becomes the MIDI/Audio interface for the iOS app creating a very powerful music production system.
Drum Part
-Tone Generator: Audio (Drum loop and time stretch function included)
-Part: 1
-Polyphony: 1
-Drum Pad: 16
-Drum Pad Set: 5
– NEWS provides you with information such as driver updates, local event and sales campaign.

TC-Orbiter is a MIDI motion controller with 53 controllers using the gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass. Send MIDI Pitch Bend and CC messages to any MIDI device.
TC-Orbiter has zero-configuration motion transmission to TC-11 or TC-Data on the iPad via Bluetooth. It lets you use your iPhone / iPod touch as a satellite motion controller.
TC-Orbiter adds motion control to your performance while your iPad stays still. You can also send patch changes remotely. Cycle through patches for another performer, or change patches without menu-diving while projecting a TC-11 / TC-Data performance.
Record, play, and remix audio loops in real-time from the audio input of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Designed for both live and studio use, Everest puts the power of four road-worthy, independently controlled, self-synchronizing samplers in the palm of your hand.
• Ultimate Control: Over 10 different operations and functions can be performed on each loop, including:
~Undo/Redo – Up to 16 levels of Undo per loop; jump to older loops all while staying in sync.
~Overdub – Add new audio on top of a loop, just like those old tape machines from the 70’s.
~Multiply – Overdub longer loops over shorter loops, or shorten a longer loop.
~Bounce – Merge many loops into one, even while making real-time changes.
~Insert – Splice new audio in the middle, beginning or end of any loop.
~Windowing – Change the start point and length of the loop in real time.
~Scrub – Perform manual granular synthesis: drag short loop windows across the waveform.
~Reverse – Play loops backwards without losing synchronization.
~Bookmark – Save your position in the undo history for future recall.
~Multi-Mute – Toggle playback of loops, going back and forth between two different sets.
~Rewind – Restart loops for stutter type effects, or temporarily wrangle asynchronous loops.
~Feedback – Fade loops to silence at any time, even while adding new audio.
~Volume – Dedicated output level faders. Good for bringing loops in and out of the mix.
~Replace – Punch-In record any segment of the loop with new audio, while keeping the rest.
• Sample-Accurate Sync : No time-stretching here. Loops of different lengths can perfectly synchronize to each other, allowing for complex polyrhythms and time signature changes. No slipping, no artifacts, no drifting, no distortion.
• Local Quantization Defeat : Sometimes swirling chaos is a good thing. Disable quantization at will, on any loop, without affecting the other loops.
• Universal App : Runs on most devices (including iPhone 4 and iPad 2), as perfect for pedal boards as it is for desktops.
• Musical Editing : Use the multi-touch enabled waveform view to radically alter the length, position, and direction of each loop. Finally, audio you can play like an instrument!
• Dynamic Interface : Automatically adjusts for different device orientations and screen sizes.
• Inter-App Audio Compatible : Can be hosted inside of, and synced to, an IAA enabled host. Rapidly record different guitar or vocal takes without committing to saving the audio, or use the host instruments and tracks to keep time while you create the perfect loop. Can also host two other apps (Generator and Effect).
• Save & Copy : Save loops as they play for archiving on your device or copy loops as they play for pasting into other apps that support pasting audio. Share your creations with your friends.
• MIDI Controllable : Comprehensive MIDI implementation for control via keyboards, foot switches and more. Control all the loops with as few as two controls or sequence every detail from your favorite DAW. Supports wireless control via WiFi and Bluetooth LE.
• Flexible Audio Routing : Support for quadraphonic input and outputs. Send each loop to its own amplifier or give each band member their own looper!
• Built-In Help : No network connection? No problem. Contains detailed embedded descriptions of all loop functions and MIDI controls.
• Tweak-able : Everest automatically saves settings, options, and parameters. These include quantization behavior, panning, crossfading, MIDI channel and more.
• Lightweight : Everest does not come burdened with a sample or loop library. The install size is small, it uses a modest amount of memory, all while running very efficiently, especially in the background.
***Beware of microphone feedback when looping, in general. Everest is best used with headphones, headsets or class compliant audio hardware. If you must use the internal speakers/microphone, try turning noise canceling on under the settings menu.

This is not a database of every app. It is, however, one of useful recommendations from someone with many years in music production. I try to update it on a daily basis (ok sometimes every two days) and I do my best to post useful apps only. My name is Jason Donnelly (Dj Puzzle).
You might know me from my royalty free loop packs and sound design. Some of the apps that contain my sounds are Synth One, EG Segments, Hammerhead, Retronyms AudioCopy, Audio Evolution Mobile, LP-5, iPRO.DJSAMPLER, Looptastic. My work is published by Roland, Antares, Magix, Soundtrack Loops, Sample Logic, Acoustica, Loopmasters and many more. Subscribe to our RSS feed below to get updated when new apps are posted.
