Gliss turns your iOS device into an expressive, motion-based controller for music, while connected to MiMU’s desktop application Glover. Gliss wirelessly sends your device’s motion sensor data to your computer so that you can use your iPhone or iPad to control music software. For example, you can: - Tilt your device to add effects to your voice - Make sharp movements for air drums - Control synth parameters using gestures - Trigger samples without touching your computer Not only does Gliss automatically detect and send your device’s gyroscope/accelerometer data (as pitch, yaw and roll), you can also teach it to recognise the manner in which you move your fingers over the screen and start using the touch-responsive surface of your iOS device for making music. Connect Gliss with MiMU’s desktop app Glover over Wi-Fi and map your movement signals to control any live music / video software or hardware that supports MIDI or OSC. Some examples include Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, Mainstage, Max/MSP, Unity, FL Studio and many more. Music is a way to express ourselves and so the way we control music should be expressive too. Features include... MOTION-DETECTION Detection of movements using the built-in accelerometer and gyroscope in your device GESTURE-RECOGNITION On screen detection of multi-touch gestures BUTTONS AND SLIDERS Send triggers and control faders WIRELESS FEEDBACK Get feedback from your computer via colours and the vibration modes on the device

Euclidean Sequencer is an alternative incarnation of the classic step sequencer that has become very popular in the modular realm. It is based on Euclidean rhythms developed by computer scientist Godfried Toussaint in 2004. Euclidean rhythms have their roots in Greek mathematician Euclid’s algorithm, which involves using the greatest common divisor of two numbers to place hits in a sequence as evenly as possible across a set timing divisions. In practice this is actually simpler than you might think, and Euclidean Sequencer is a great way to auto generate complex musical sequences with no prior knowledge of how it actually works. Euclidean Sequencer is an AUv3 plugin that can be loaded inside any popular host application that has flexible MIDI routing. You can define up to 4 Euclidean rhythm parts, each part is referred to as a band. The bands are labelled A-D and colour coded RED, ORANGE, GREEN and CYAN. Together these 4 bands create a pattern, and you can create up to 16 seperate patterns per song patch. Since each band can specify its own note sequence and output MIDI channel, you can create some quite sophisticated rythms patterns, driving 4 seperate instruments at once. Even better you can seamlessly switch patterns to create even longer evolving sequences. Patterns follow a specified key, scale, or defined chord. You can even use MIDI input to automatically make note sequences conform to the currently playing chords. Please note: This is an AUv3 plugin instended to be used inside your favourite host DAW such as AUM, Cubasis, Loopy Pro etc. It will work with any app that has flexible MIDI routing. This app is not compatible with GarageBand as it doesn't support MIDI plugins. Features 4 Band Sequencer 16 Patterns per patch. Up to 64 events per band. Seamless pattern transitions. Output Port and Channel control. Per Band and Global speeds. Randomize function with varying complexity. Supports note Probability. Reverse and PingPong modes. MIDI Chord recognition. Latch mode. 4 Band Velocity Mixer Controller support. Gate Mode. AUv3 Compatible.
