Fractal Bits vs Chord Groove

Fractal Bits is a drum synth with over four billion unique sounds created by fractal algorithms. Each set of 12 drums corresponds to a code of 8 characters (you can save/copy/paste it as plain text). Features: * Audio Unit Extension (AUv3), Audiobus; * search for new sounds with three buttons: next random set, edit code, previous set; * three types of keyboards for live drumming: on-screen buttons, PC keyboard, MIDI input; * several processing parameters + control via MIDI; * real-time audio recording to WAV (32-bit); * export to: WAV (one file or a set), SunVox (samples + effects in one file), text clipboard; * the LCK button freezes individual drums - they will not change during the search for new sets; * Wi-Fi export/import. Double clicking on a parameter opens a window for setting the exact value. If you enable the Hold option, the notes will play endlessly, without reacting to key release (noteOff) events; turning the note on again works like turning it off; there are two ways to enable this option: 1) using the Hold parameter in the "MIDI Mapping" window; 2) by pressing the HOLD button, which appears in place of LCK while playing the musical keyboard: press HOLD, release the desired notes - then the released notes will continue to play.

Chord Groove is a simple music practice app for guitarists, songwriters, students, and teachers. Choose a key, mode, and number of chords, then generate a chord progression you can play along with. Add a strumming groove, press play, and use the looped playback to practice chord changes, soloing, rhythm, timing, and modal sounds. Chord Groove was inspired by a real lesson exercise: writing chord progressions and grooves on paper, then practicing them until they started to feel musical. The app makes that process quicker, cleaner, and easier to explore. Features include: • Generate chord progressions in different keys and modes • Explore major, minor, and modal sounds • Create custom chord progressions • Build strumming grooves using downstrokes, upstrokes, mutes, and rests • Play progressions with looped playback • Adjust tempo with BPM control • Use optional count-in and auto-scroll • Save and update progressions and grooves • Use info buttons to learn more about modes, chord roles, and musical feel Chord Groove is designed to help you move from theory to practice. Use it to discover new chord movements, build rhythm confidence, practice modal progressions, or create ideas for songs and exercises. Whether you are learning guitar, teaching students, writing music, or looking for fresh practice material, Chord Groove gives you a quick way to create, hear, and practice musical ideas.
