Notes are not aligned to where you press the screen

I love this app, but it is unnecessarily hard to play. On the E harmonic scale, when I press note 36, note 35 plays. I tried it with a stylus and confirmed the note mappings are not in the correct place. Please fix so it is actual usable as an instrument. I don’t know of any other way to play some of these scales as intuitively as a touch pad, but it must be executed well.

Scale, hexany, everything you need

Inter-App Audio and super easy to use (no midi tho)

Thank you!

I love Wilsonic. Such a positive way of expanding the scope and depth with understanding the larger cosmology of music theory. Music and Math are revealed well in your logical layout of interface.

Please do v1.8.6

I want a heptagon octagon nonagon decagon and more shapes!

Phenomenal!

Unlike any other mobile app on the market. A brilliant addition to the exploration of new original music.

This app is so good but there is some issues.

For some reason, this app keeps freezing when i put some notes on 0 and 1. and the sensytivity of the keys is kinda off.
And i only wish this had MIDI Input. Imagine If you used MIDI On willsonic. That would be amazing

How do I connect to SynthOne?

I have both installed but hitting the "TuneUp" button doesn't seem to do anything. Anyhow, it's nice for what it is!

Guess it needs update

I get null errors. Also the export options are all greyed out.

Love it! This combined with a basic sampler could be heaven

An ability to play a simple wine glass sample with these scales could be total heaven! Either the ability to create a one shot sample within Wilsonic, or the ability to export these scales to an app like Koala Sampler would take Wilsonic from a 5/5 to an 11/5 rating!

So dope

Phenomenal app, just wish the keys were a bit bigger or adjustable in height

Wow

As someone who has learned a lot about theory in the past, I'm confused by a lot of this. However, It's very easy to use. It didn't take long to understand that the notes are spaced out in a series depending on the mode selected on the top left portion of the screen. The layout could stand to be a little more visually compelling, but it's self explanatory as far as playing a note goes. Some of the text is too small to be read. It would be nice if there was information about each of the different modes, whether that be the historical context, some sort of description explaining the structure, or something else to help a user wrap their minds around what exactly is going on here. I can tell by my ear that a lot of these structures are distinguishable from the 12 tone series, but it would be nice to know how they're different and what I could do to replicate some of these scales outside the app.

Great tool for music!

My one wish/suggestion would be that it can be used with my synths and pianos. It would be interesting to check out other frequency possibilities using this app and other piano apps.

Interesting Weirdness Available

Love the integration with the fantastic Audiokit apps. Thank you Mr Wilson for being bothered to map these out.

Crash on edit

Cool app but changing note number values crashes the app.

Thanks and hope you can fix

Almost perfect!!..but please add these features

This app is amazing. I just randomly came across this by downloading synthesizers. It’s like jumping into an audio history book of ancient tones mixed with the future tones. In my opinion, I think this app is outstanding, but if I had three wishes, this app would be absolutely perfect if: One, I wish there was a way to draw up our own geometric shapes to see what tone they create. Two, I wish we could type in the specific number frequency in the customize section. For example, having middle C be at 267.45. And lastly, three, I wish there was a way we can play the notes with our midi keyboard. I know there’s a way to transfer the scale and frequency to the D1 or Synth One synthesizers, but I love the tone of the bell in this app. If this app has those 3 other details, I wish I could rate this 10 stars lol. Please consider adding these features.

Woaww!! Génial!

Superbe app pour faire des notes qui ne sont pas dans les 12 notes classiques occidentales. Et intuitif en même temps pour créer de la musique et très réactif (rythmes rapides ok).

J’aurai aimé enregistrer ce que je fais directement sur GarageBand mais l’inter-app plante au bout de quelque secondes. Mais ça vient de GarageBand et pas de Wilsonic car ça me fait pareil avec une autre app. Du coup pour enregistrer ce que l’on fait pas le choix que de passer par un enregistreur externe (zoom par exemple) avec un bpm (externe aussi) et ensuite remettre sur GarageBand...

Parfois j’aurai préféré que les motifs en étoiles soient plus grand il reste un peu de place dispo sur l’écran ce qui permettrai d’avoir un jeux avec les doigts plus facile.

J’aurai aimé aussi une possibilité midi in avec un clavier externe et pourquoi pas midi out aussi pour contrôler des synthés externes avec les possibilités microtonales de cette app. On pourrait mapper les notes sur le clavier externe indépendamment des 12 notes normales, les unes à la suite des autres sur les touches. Ça serait top!

Merci beaucoup pour cette app!!

Unbearably beautiful UI

This software has an amazing user interface, presenting wha could otherwise be quite tough to follow.

So cool but notes hang

They hang when you play the keyboard. Hanging notes on keyboard please fix

Sehr interessant

Eine wunderbare App, die zum Spielen mit Tonleitern und Notenstimmungen einlädt, und diese ganz gut visualisiert.

Tonleitern können auf der Basis verschiedener Stimmungsmethoden erstellt werden, und in der App selbst genutzt werden.

Die App kann Scala-Dateien generieren, die aber anscheinend nur von einigen wenigen Synthesizern auf dem iPad unterstützt werden, z.B. von Sunrizer. Eine Übermittlung der Tonleitern in die Audiokit-basierenden AudioKit Synth One und Digital D1 wird auch unterstützt.

Anmerkung zu MIDI:

MIDI-Unterstützung fehlt, und dies liegt vermutlich an den Beschränkungen des MIDI Standards. Der MIDI Tuning Standard existiert zwar seit 1992, wird aber nur von wenigen Hard- und Software-Synthesizern unterstützt, und m.W. von keiner iOS App. Tricks mit Pitchbend über “Core” MIDI existieren zwar (mit MPE sogar polyphon), die Auswirkungen auf die Stimmung der Noten ist aber nicht standardisiert. (Der Frequenzbereich für das Pitchbend wird vom Synthesizer frei gewählt, und der MIDI Controller kann dies weder anpassen noch den Bereich herausfinden.)

Eine Unterstützung des MIDI Tuning Standards (MTS) durch möglichst viele Synth Apps wäre wahrscheinlich hilfreich, dann könnten auch MIDI Controller Apps MTS unterstützen.

Großartig

Dito!
