6X806 Drum Synth Loop Maker vs Tresse Polyphonic Synthesizer

A 6 track drum machine synthesiser & sequencer for creating beats, electro rhythms or wacky synth blips. Create sounds like the famous TR808 and 606 drum machines. Synthesizer controls shape each sound on each track to various electro synth drum & percussion sounds. Create drum patterns using step edit as on various drum synthesisers, drum machines & sequencers or can be generated randomly. Independent FX, GarageBand routing, Ableton Link, IAA, & Audiobus 3 support. Parameter Set to step per track manually or while playing. Press P-Set to enter mode (Flashing). turn dials, this stores on that current step. Double tap the P-Set to enter erase mode. Any dial turned will erase all that dials settings for the whole track. Easily capture what you hear, export to AudioShare, Audio-Copy, Email or iTunes Shared Folder Check out the "How to" video demo on Youtube https://youtu.be/in4V0P6nigM DRUM SYNTHESIS: 3 Filters: Low, High & Band Pass + resonance & side-pass high pass level, envelope amount & decay time. Adjust pitch VCA decay time + PUNCH for extra kick velocity. Extra attack for track 1 option. Create almost any drum synth sound SEQUENCER: Swing/groove Dynamics. Each step per track can also have a variable dynamics level (double tap) to accentuate pitch, filter or amplitude. RANDOM FILL: From zero to 100 percent this will create random non accentuated steps in mealtime so you can create free flowing dynamic drum beats sequences. Adjust number of steps & offsets in each track to create complex poly rhythms INIT starts over with a blank pattern. Find this in Settings/System. BPM control +/-1 or double tap for +/-5 increments. MOD SECTION: LFO low pass CUT-OFF & PITCH. The pitch level can give a vintage effect subtly detuning with low SPEED or faster for ring modulated effect. Trig forces reset on step to provide pitch or filter envelope. CHAIN MODE: Press P+1, P+2, P+3 for automatically switching to next 1,2, or 3 patterns at each loop end. Changing pattern manually will reset. Drum step edits cant be made during this mode. LIVE CONTROL feature: Use the pattern play section for the following cool tricks: [Sequence/Control/Pattern]: Instantly switch to a saved sequence while playing. Keys correspond to available programs, starting from the current program thats loaded (key 1 is your current program, key 2 is current program+1 etc). Highlighted keys show stored programs. Blue tint shows if your are in Pattern Play still. This is great for building up live tracks and can be cut instantly like DJ cross-fade. With P-Lock enabled, loading patterns locks parameters & just loads the patterns. EFFECTS (Global/master are in yellow.) OVERDRIVE. SPRING REVERB ECHO tempo synced with feedback & wetness. MIXER section: fade each track, mute/ unmute Bass boost and pan on each track SYNCING Ableton Link syncs with Link apps .Enable for precise timing without syncing. Press LINK button at the bottom for settings. You can link to our other apps like 2XB303 MIDI sync with External, Virtual or Audiobus. 6X806 can be master or slave. ( any simple class-compliant USB should work but some may need to be power assisted) Virtual MIDI In is always on. If you send from another app AND receive MIDI clock then you will be receiving both MIDI CLOCKS. While Ableton Link is enabled you can send clock. This means you can use one app to control 6X806 with external hardware MIDI note data is sent out on each channel AUDIO Record a fixed length, default to 32 steps. Can be changed in settings. Arming sampling with CAPTURE (flashing). Starts at counter 1 (ON). PLAY CAP to listen to your sample loop. Audio can be routed via IAA (Inter App Audio) into apps like Apple's Garageband. Garageband will also sync your sequence for excellent multi-track recording. Audiobus 3. Route audio to mix or record into other applications To save you press "Save To", it then flashes. Now choose destination ("!" means its occupied ) then press "Save All" to confirm.

TRESSE is a polyphonic synthesizer that merges 39 sound engines into one instrument for iPhone and iPad. It runs standalone and as an AUv3 plugin inside AUM, AudioBus, and GarageBand. Twenty-four engines come from Classic MI Plaits: subtractive, FM, wavetable, additive, granular, speech and formant, chords, resonators, and analog-modelled drums. Fifteen more are custom, ported and extended: Karplus-Strong strings, vowel formants, modal and sympathetic-string resonators, a seven-saw supersaw, Hammond-style drawbars, bytebeat, and a multi-waveform wavefolder. TWO LAYERS, ONE VOICE Run two engines at once and crossfade them with the balance knob - each layer has its own filter, envelopes and voice mode. A self-stable SEM-style filter morphs continuously from lowpass to bandpass to highpass to notch and stays stable at full resonance. Two ADSR envelopes per layer shape amplitude and filter independently. Three six-shape LFOs and two step-sequenced MOD lanes route to almost anything - timbre, filters, the layer balance, even the sequencer's own knobs. A master chain adds chorus, tape, ping-pong and lo-fi delays, hall, room, plate and shimmer reverbs, and a wavefolder. GENERATIVE SEQUENCER, POWERED BY VEKTE A generative step sequencer drives the synth with seven algorithms - wave interference, Euclidean, random walk, logistic map, cellular automata, Kaprekar and Fibonacci. Shape the pattern with DENSE, probability, swing or humanize, tie and strum over a full scale and chord system. The arpeggiator can play the main sequence itself - with or without its intervals - or walk your held notes in seven modes. Two synth-macro knobs put any synth parameter on the sequencer page. Presets save, load and rename instantly - and share as compact text keys or QR codes anyone on TRESSE can load. FORMAT AND COMPATIBILITY TRESSE is an iOS standalone app and an AUv3 instrument. Load it in any AUv3 host, including AUM, AudioBus, and GarageBand. Its state saves with your host project. It responds to MIDI note input from any connected keyboard or controller, with MIDI learn on every knob. FREE, ADVANCED, PRO FREE plays all factory presets and offers one editable oscillator layer using EastCoast or RingsInh, the Euclidean algorithm, up to 16 steps, three divisions, three scales and three chord options. LFO editing, Shimmer, MIDI Learn and split sequencing require an upgrade. Manual MIDI CC assignment remains available. ADV unlocks the 24-engine instrument, two editable layers, split sequencers, 32 steps, LFO 1, every algorithm, the arpeggiator, divisions up to 2 bars, Ping Pong, all scales and chords, Shimmer, MIDI Learn, MOD 1 and preset saving. PRO upgrades ADV with 15 additional Våld engines, 64 steps, LFOs 2 and 3, MOD 2, timing options up to 16 bars, Random Walk direction and oscillator/sequence copy-paste. FULL includes ADV and PRO in one purchase. All are one-time purchases covering the standalone app and AUv3 extension. UPDATING FROM AN EARLIER VERSION Version 1.3.0 changes the FREE editing limits. Features previously editable for free, including LFO 1, the second oscillator layer, Shimmer and MIDI Learn, now require ADV or FULL. FREE sequences are editable up to 16 steps. Existing preset and host-project settings are retained: locked features continue to play, but editing them requires the relevant pack. Already available also on desktop as VST3 and AU, for macOS and Windows.
