Wilsonic Adds Audiokit Integration
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Ervin Wilson app

Wilsonic is your portal to new musical universes. Ervin Wilson’s 65 years of tuning research and discovery are now at your fingertips. By touching, hearing, and feeling Wilson’s designs you can intuitively break free of the limits of the 12 note scale used by historical musical instruments such as the piano and guitar to pioneer new music never-before heard by mankind.

UPDATE 1.8.1 Jan 8, 2019
* “AudioKit TuneUp”: Wilsonic can now share tunings with AudioKit Synth One (free) and Digital D1 Synth (paid):
Select the Wilsonic “Instrument” popover and choose Synth One or D1. If you have the app installed and running it will load the tuning.
Synth One will save the tuning in the User Tuning Bank.

No previous knowledge of music theory is required. These tonal worlds are based on an entirely unique mode of thought that has little to do with historical musical thinking.

The app features Wilson’s most profound scale designs. Your hands and ears naturally find new melodic patterns and harmonies that touch on those feelings and emotions you couldn’t find before. When you find that perfect scale export it as a Scala file to tune up your favorite software synthesizers. Share your favorite scales with your friends. This version of Wilsonic has the scales “Moments Of Symmetry”, Co-Prime Grid, Tetrany Major, Hexany, Tetrany Minor, Mandala (Hexany Stellate), Tetradic Diamond, Hexany Diamond, Aggregate Rotations of Euler Genus 4, Eikosany, Partch 43, Harmonic Spiral, Highland Bagpipes, and Recurrence Relations.

Wilsonic is Audiobus 2.3.x compatible.
