## What is Algonautic?

Algonautic

A MIDI chord pad instrument for iPad.

Each pad maps to a full voiced chord. Route the output to your DAW, layer it, sequence it, and capture it as MIDI.

The chord library comes from my own catalogue: a harmonic language I developed across Sonic Dreams Vol. 1 & 2, now available as a playable instrument.

*** Features

• Pads fire complete chord voicings — one tap, full harmony
• Sync to your DAW or trigger freely
• Gate and Latch modes hold chords for as long as you need
• Strum mode spreads chord attacks for natural movement
• Transition rules step through chords in order or randomly — useful for progressions that evolve on their own
• Mutation mode introduces inversions and harmonic variations over time
• Two Part Doublers add bass and top-voice doublings in real time, each on its own MIDI output channel
• Runs as an AUv3 MIDI effect in Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, and other compatible hosts — or standalone
• MIDI only. No audio engine, no added audio latency

*** Compatibility Notice

Requires an AUv3-compatible host for plugin functionality.

### 5/5 — Working

*2026-06-09*

Able to open in AUM and Audiobus. Does not load sounds (because it’s MIDI). Completely functional.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot, really appreciate the review, and also the helpful clarification!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-06-06*

Unable to open in AUM or Audiobus. Doesn’t load sounds. Completely broken.

**Developer response:** Hello, sorry to hear you had trouble getting started. Algonautic is a MIDI FX plugin, so it does not produce sound on its own. In AUM or Audiobus, please load it as a MIDI FX / MIDI processor and route its MIDI output to an instrument or sound source. If you still have trouble setting it up, please contact us and I’ll be happy to help.
