Xalophone vs Cab ML

Xalophone is a digital musical instrument that's easy to play while doing other activities. It features a configurable sound effects pipeline for customizing its sound to your mood and situation. 21 preset configurations mimic natural and synthetic instruments, but that's only the beginning: you can edit these presets or create new ones to generate a wide variety of sound styles. Auto-save and instant playback allows you to replay any tune you create with Xalophone. Plus high fidelity file export for easily sharing your music with friends and colleagues. Features: • Full-screen interface that is easy to learn and use. • Multi-touch: play and modulate up to five notes simultaneously. • Configurable sound effects: • Distortion (linear, square, cubic) • Ring Modulation • Decimation • Tremelo • Flanger • Delay • Zita Reverb • Chown Reverb • Costello Reverb • Adjustable musical note range, from a half octave up to 8 octaves. • Divide octaves into 1 to 12 intervals: 12 corresponds to the classic western musical scales, like on a piano; others offer different relationships between notes • Auto-save and Playback: Every note played on Xalophone is saved (in a super-efficient format, a hundredth the size of an mp3), so you can playback any tune you make. This recording stays on your device and is never shared, unless you choose to. • Export to AAC .m4a format for sharing with friends or playback on other devices • Export to high fidelity .CAF format for import into digital audio workstations or other audio processing pipelines • Share your exported tracks with friends by text message, email, social media, and other file sharing applications, even if they don't have Xalophone installed Watch a video to see how it works, or download it for free to see & hear for yourself.

Cab ML is both a standalone app and an AUv3 plugin that provides a neural network for impulse response generation. By moving tags in a window you can change the impulse response in an interactive way. Underlying a neural network will generate an impulse response based on the position of the tags. Instead of trying out all your impulse response files through a classic impulse response loader, you can now find the right sound interactively by moving the marks until you like what you hear. Furthermore Cab ML also provides a poweramp with many options and a microphone reverb generator. The free version allows you to test Cab ML completely, but every minute the plugin will be silent for 3 seconds. To remove these limits there is a one time in-app purchase. You need an audio interface to connect your instrument to your Mac. Known audio interface brands for guitar or bass are for instance Focusrite or iRig. If you don't have an audio interface, you can use the AUv3 plugin in a DAW such as GarageBand or Logic Pro. Any (guitar/bass) sound you have recorded can be fed through the Cab ML audio unit.
