Generative sequencing made fun

Soniface offers several two Plex ways of creating real time music of a generative nature. It takes a little time to learn, but is very much worth doing so I work with other people and we tend to use our favorite tools in a computer circle if you will. It’s really an iPad circle where we choose what type of music programs we enjoy creating in. My first instrument was guitar but soon I learned synthesizers and I’m used to working in ways that challenge me. Soniface can be as simple or complex as you desire. It’s that simple so I might use this where someone else uses a synthesizer or Samplr but I could also use it by my own and it would be easy enough to get the output of what’s going on Digitally so that an audience could see as one creates. There is a considerable learning curve, even though the program itself is simple. It has a beautiful interface that’s inviting to learn and the results tend to be useful. I strongly recommend this to someone who enjoys trying new things and is able to Work in environments that might not be consistent with the workflow they are used to.
Highly recommend..

runs constantly in background eating battery

Couldn't figure out why my iPad Air 5th gen was running hot and losing power so fast, checked battery in Settings and discovered this app has been chugging along for days just burning through the iPad's power--as in, 85% of the power usage yesterday was from this app, even though I never once opened it. I don't even remember launching it, as I was testing a bunch of audio apps at the same time last week. I probably had this open less than a minute, but it's been using max resources ever since. This morning I deleted it and apologized to my iPad for installing a vampire app. Maybe my battery hasn't been too damaged. 😡

love it

Different way of making music I'm loving it

Ein Witz, Zeitverschwendung

UI-Design von Nerds für Nerds. App wird frustriert wieder gelöscht!
Habe jetzt wohl das x-te Mal ca 1/2h rumprobiert, selbst mir als Akademiker erschliesst sich trotz der mehrfachen Anläufe die Bedienung nur zu winzigen, für den Betrieb niemals ausreichenden Teilen. Einfach alles anders machen heisst nicht, es auch besser zu machen.
Die Anleitung, die eh nur aus wenigen Zeilen Text besteht, hilft Null. Meines Erachtens ein gut gelungener Fail auf ganzer Linie.

Response from developer

Hi! Wahrscheinlich ist es immernoch von Nerds für Nerds, aber es hat sich mit dem Update auf Version 4 einiges getan. Außerdem gibt es einen Guide und die Hilfe auf deutsch. Beste Grüße aus Halle!

Impenetrable; crashed while trying to comprehend it

I had this thing running for maybe five minutes before it just crashed on me. Deleted.

iOS 12.x, iPad Pro (12.9” 1st gen)

Response from developer

Hi! You might try it again, the 4.0 version is hugely improved. Best regards!
