"samplerSequencer" turns your device into a sampler sequencer for professional musicians and composers. Just record a single sound / voice / special effect "A note" using the samplerSequencer audio recording feature (using the internal microphone of the device) or import the sound into the device through synchronization (using the iTunes software for Mac or PC) or with copy / paste using the technology "iTunes File Sharing" and samplerSequencer will create for you the whole scale of sounds and assign them to the virtual keyboard (n octaves) of samplerSequencer, so you can record an audio track using the sequencer recording feature of samplerSequencer (the sequencer records for you every note played by you). samplerSequencer operates with seven independent sound tracks, each with its own sampled sound (assignable to a track). You can then record a track at a time (using the virtual keyboard or by writing different notes by hand) and then listen all the tracks together using the sequencer play feature. The sampleSequencer "all tracks view" and "selected track view", the ability to manually enter a note or put it through the virtual keyboard, the ability to delete unwanted notes, to touch a note and change its position, length and the type of the note (note shift), the ability of including sequencer events such as pitch bending and many other features make samplerSequencer a professional sequencer like the most popular sequencers for Mac or PC. The software is able to read the common audio files (WAV, MP3, CAF, etc...) so you can create your own sound (you only need one audio file) using standard wave editor for Mac or PC and samplerSequencer will create automatically for you the musical instrument. You can also import a song from the iTunes library on the device and by controlling "SAMPLE START POSITION" you can select a sound by extracting it from the imported song: samplerSequencer will automatically create the complete musical instrument for you. You can import a song from iTunes and assign it to a track, and using the other tracks you can play your track over the imported songβ¦ the sequencer will play the song combined with your sound tracks. With samplerSequencer you will have in your pocket the smallest existing sampler and sequencer!

HarmonyAngel
Read full descriptionHide full description
HarmonyAngel is a MIDI and vocal harmony processor for musicians who want one monophonic line to follow the active chord. Choose chord slots on two performance pages, then play from a MIDI controller or the on-screen piano. For every incoming note, HarmonyAngel can generate descending chord tones below it, align voicings to a chord root, preserve slash-chord roots, and forward aftertouch to the generated harmony. Turn on Mic Input to sing into HarmonyAngel. The app performs low-latency monophonic pitch detection locally, uses the detected note to create the same chord-aware MIDI harmony, and provides a live tuner and input-level meter. Premium users can optionally hear pitch-corrected lead vocal and pitch-shifted vocal harmony audio, with selectable pitch detector, pitch shifter, formant, latency, buffer, trigger-level, and trigger-velocity controls. Choose a Jazz Soli style when you need arranged ensemble-style lines instead of simple chord stacking. Built-in Bebop, Smart Soli, Smooth Big Band, Functional Jazz, Barry Harris, Cool Jazz, Quartal Fusion, Minimal Guide Tones, and Altered Dominant styles use the active chord, melody direction, and musical register to produce practical voicings. Premium users can create, validate, import, export, and organize declarative custom styles in the Jazz Soli Library. Use it standalone with CoreMIDI and the built-in sine synth, or load the AUv3 MIDI processor inside a compatible host. Page controls, progression stepping, hold behavior, custom chord types, selectable MIDI ports, channel routing, keyboard range, display transpose, and velocity shaping are available from the performance UI. Highlights: - Two pages of 12 editable chord slots with no-harmony slots - Built-in chord types, slash roots, and named custom chord types - Jazz Soli styles for melody-aware, multi-part jazz voicings - Premium Jazz Soli Library authoring with validated import and export for custom styles - One-page or two-page MIDI control channel slot switching - Progression controls for stepping through saved chord sequences - Full or partial on-screen piano with touch velocity and aftertouch - Harmony count, root alignment, skip-first-harmony, and revoice-on-switch controls - Delta or ratio harmony velocity and aftertouch shaping - Mic Input with local monophonic vocal pitch detection, tuner, and input-level metering - Premium pitch-corrected lead vocal and pitch-shifted vocal harmony audio - Premium single-channel or rotating-channel harmony MIDI output - Premium MIDI input/output port selection and virtual MIDI output port - Hold and panic controls with process/bypass hold modes - Premium AUv3 MIDI processor extension with preservable host state - Optional built-in sine wave synth for quick testing or standalone use HarmonyAngel is designed for keyboardists, singers, composers, producers, worship musicians, live performers, and anyone who wants fast chord-aware harmony from simple MIDI or vocal input.
