FAQ
What is Pendulums: Chaos Melody?
Pendulums: Chaos Melody is a music generation application that uses the principles of chaos theory and physics to create unique, non-repeating musical pieces. Users can interact with a pendulum system to influence the music's development and structure.
How does Pendulums: Chaos Melody create music?
The app uses a twin double pendulum system where the divergence of the pendulums dictates the song's structure, moving through phases like 'In Sync,' 'Drifting,' and 'Diverged.' This physics-based approach ensures every musical output is original.
Can I control the music in Pendulums: Chaos Melody?
Yes, you can drag the pendulums to set release angles and influence the music's direction. The position of the far bob proposes pitch regions, and a Markov policy selects notes, allowing for user influence on the composition.
What musical scales and instruments are available in Pendulums: Chaos Melody?
The app features 26 scales, including various modes, pentatonics, blues, and folk scales from different cultures. It also offers four sampled instruments (piano, koto, zither, shakuhachi) and numerous synthesized voices.
Does Pendulums: Chaos Melody have ads?
No, Pendulums: Chaos Melody is ad-free, allowing for an uninterrupted creative experience. It is available for free with optional in-app purchases.
Can I export my music from Pendulums: Chaos Melody?
Yes, you can record a musical take and export it as a standard MIDI file to your device's Files app. The export includes lead, twin, chords, and bass on separate tracks.
What devices is Pendulums: Chaos Melody compatible with?
Pendulums: Chaos Melody is designed for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. It also functions as an Audio Unit (AUv3) instrument.
How often is Pendulums: Chaos Melody updated?
The application was last updated on September 2, 2026, with version 1.0.0. While specific update frequency is not detailed, this indicates recent development activity.
