  • Auv3 version please

    😩🙏🙏🙏💚
  • Best of its kind for endless jam sessions

    I have been trying different generative apps for the iPad and this is the best I’ve tried so far. I doubt I’ll buy another since this does what I want.

    It’s simple and immediately ready for use. Just press play.
    It’s deep with all kinds of constraints to manipulate.
    There is a nice webpage explaining how to use the features for anything I can’t immediately figure out.

    Oh and one little thing I almost forgot to mention… It actually sounds interesting. These are not simple robotic arpeggios or non-musical sounding randomness. I can actually turn this on and just jam with my drum machine and guitar.

    Thanks Devs. Good lookin’ out.

  • Amazing app, endless exploration.

    I use this all the time to sequence software or hardware. It has a synth engine built in but it’s not about that. I would advise to leave it running your other gear. Had fun as soon as I installed it and I’m Still learning new things about it. Really can’t ask for more.
  • Keeps crashing

    This is a fantastic app but every time I try to have a session with it it keeps crashing. when I try to save or run an external synth crash. Have lost work. If they fix the bugs it would be a 5 star app ~ so far I can’t get anything created. I am on the latest iPad and iOS

    Please update to the latest version and make sure you don't use iOS 14.2, where Apple introduced a variety of CoreMIDI problems
  • very cool app

    Love the level of control, but also you can sit back and let it produce a great melody. Well engineered.

    My one request is to be able to record to a MIDI file & save it to the ipad. Maybe it exists but I could not figure it out.
  • Fantastic app and concept but please ableton link!

    Amazingly inspirational, funcional, well planned and perfect for ideas sketching.
    Even the internal synth is very nice sounding.
    Eager to see this app develop, big cudos to Marcos, please make more creative apps like this, you´re into something great here.
    I would pay anything for a Max for live version of this beautiful generative sequencer.

    Keep it up. And please add ableton link!
    Please please, add AU3 support!

  • Great long-play generative music maker

    If you like the Fugue Machine app then you are going to wear out the buttons on your copy of the Polyphase app. Of course, it is wired up differently than Fugue but the internal help/instruction file got this know-nothing up and running with pleasing results within minutes. Have run Polyphase for 24 to 48 hours at a stretch many times now without any issues I can trace back to Polyphase. When you drive the many available audio unit extension apps (etc) with Polyphase (via AUM) for hours on end you soon realize many can't go the distance without failing, but, Polyphase keeps pumping out the tune with those left standing 🙂. Another thing I really like about Polyphase is how easy it is to change the 'mood' of the sound it is generating. Potent! 4/2019 iOS 12.2 iPadPro12.9 Really hope Marcos Kohler keeps building on this successful implementation with a new app rather than risking Polyphase with feature creep. For example, if an iPhone version is pondered maybe go the route of Animoog and offer separate apps for each platform. One other suggestion from the peanut-gallery here. Having spent a few hours looking at the Polyphase interface layout, where I 'see' natural 'panels' of control groupings, I'm guessing it would lend itself to something like the way IceGear has so beautifully designed their synth control layout for the iPhone. 😅 Anyhow, I shudder to think how many of my brains cells it would destroy trying to create something comparable on the iPhone.

  • Love it but......

    Great midi generator with lots of bells and whistles. It’s a bit difficult to set up in AUM as the slave! I’ve read the instructions quite a few times. Yet I was unable to set up the generator to the master tempo of AUM. Also, there’s no Ableton link support natively making it a task to sync record midi. Yes, there’s other ways to do it but make it native. Otherwise, this is amazing.

    Turn off "Clock Generation" in PolyPhase, but make sure PolyPhase is chosen for Clock Receive. In AUM, Enable MIDI Clock Send and select PolyPhase. Now, PolyPhase will be slaved to AUM's tempo and respond to its transport.
  • Loving the possibilities!

    Been feeding this through AUM to four separate synths! Great job dev!
