Pulsar vs Ask Euterpe

Make beats anywhere with Pulsar-ES, an authentic preset drum machine expanded into a mobile groovebox for iPhone and iPad. Inspired by the rare Soviet/Ukrainian PULSAR hardware, Pulsar-ES keeps the original industrial rhythm-box character while adding the missing modern features producers expect: MIDI editing, deeper FX, Ableton Link sync, AUv3 workflow, and mobile project control. Play ideas fast on the 4x2 drum pad grid, then turn them into full patterns with the MIDI Clip Editor. Draw, move, and resize notes directly on the grid so your rhythm stays editable after the first take. Shape your sound with a hands-on FX rack built for quick decisions: - Filter with low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, and notch modes - Reverb with room, hall, and plate spaces - Overdrive with overdrive, distortion, fuzz, and tube modes - Delay with digital, tape, and ping-pong modes - Chorus and compressor for extra movement and control Pulsar-ES also supports Ableton Link sync, project save/load, rhythm presets, and a portrait layout designed for making music on the go. Start a beat, edit every note, shape it with FX, and keep your ideas moving.

A digital muse in your pocket. Inspired by the ancient Muse of Music, Ask Euterpe is a high-performance creative companion for the modern musician that generates randomized prompts for the user. Whether you are a film composer searching for inspiration, a producer looking for a unique melodic idea, or a songwriter exploring new harmonic territory, Euterpe provides the spark you need exactly when you need it. This app is instrument-agnostic. Whether you play piano, guitar, or work entirely with the blank page, Euterpe’s theory-grounded suggestions translate seamlessly to your workflow. Key Features The Muse’s Spark: Select filters to determine Euterpe's output. You can ask Euterpe to provide the scale, the instrumentation, suggest a genre, or even abstract directions that can help you break out of a rut. All information is stored on your device, and no AI is used to generate the outcomes - it's all in your hand. Audio Playback: Don't just read the music—hear it. Integrated playback for all generated scales and keys helps you feel the mood before you even pick up your instrument. Vision Management: Save your favorite generated inspirations as "Visions." Refine and edit them as your project grows from a simple idea into a full composition. Give your vision a title and add lyrics or notes; Euterpe will remember it all, and you can search through your library to find a specific vision. Built for Everyone: Tailored for composers, producers, and students alike - musicians of all levels. It’s a "no-nonsense" tool that eliminates the tedium of searching for inspiration, letting you focus on the craft of music. Why Ask Euterpe? As a musician, you know that inspiration is fleeting.
