MagicVerb is the latest result of the collaboration between MagicDeathEye aka Ian Sefchick and DDMF. This journey was a little more creative as we weren’t modeling a piece of hardware. We were modeling spaces and experimenting with EQ and texture. Ian spent a decade working at a studio known for its chambers and that dark beautiful feeling of space was always with him when creating these models. We had a lot of his engineer and producer buddies check em’ out and used their feedback to tighten everything up. We also put a really cool plate and model of a classic digital reverb in there as well. MagicVerb is now finally available for iOS in AUv3 and InterAppAudio format for use in all compatible hosts, as well as in standalone format.
Negative Harmony
Read full descriptionHide full description
Negative Harmony lets you explore one of music theory's most fascinating transformations: reflecting any chord or progression across a tonal axis to produce its harmonic mirror image. TAP ANY CHORD Select a root and quality on the interactive Circle of Fifths. See the original chord and its negative simultaneously, with voice-leading automatically applied. BUILD PROGRESSIONS Add chords to a progression and play them back — originals or negatives — with smooth voice leading between every chord. Common tones are held, not re-attacked. UNDERSTAND THE THEORY Built-in theory section explains the concept from first principles: the axis, the transformation formula, voice leading, and the history from Hugo Riemann to Jacob Collier. 5 SOUNDS Choose from Rhodes, Strings, Choir, Organ, or Synth Pad — the same high-quality soundfont used by professional music apps. MULTILINGUAL Full support for English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese.
