Tachyon vs sqsl Mantra

Do you want to play an electric guitar and a piano at the same time? What about choosing the electrifying buzz of a drill and blending it into the soothing tone of a human voice? Jordan Rudess and Kevin Chartier’s Tachyon gives you all these options and more. From the makers of the award winning app, MorphWiz, comes a new creation that allows images and sound to become one as they magically blend under your fingertips. Each note you play is an individual expression, allowing independent control of pitch and tone far beyond that of traditional instruments. Most instruments only allow you to play one sound at a time, but with Tachyon, you can seamlessly blend between any two sounds as you slide your fingers up and down the screen. The visual experience of Tachyon is just as mesmerizing. As you move along the playing surface, a field of twinkling stars morphs into the shape of your selected instrument, allowing a direct correlation between sight and sound. As described by Jordan Rudess, “Tachyon is simple to use and at the same time offers a unique musical expressive power. The sonic core of the app is a custom crafted sound set from my personal library, encompassing sounds as familiar as those you would find in your home toolbox, and as exclusive as the ones I use on tour with Dream Theater." Whether you’re a seasoned musician looking for a next generation instrument to further express your creativity, or just a regular Joe browsing the app store looking for a fun and simple purchase that will delight the whole family, Tachyon is the app for you! “Check out Jordan Rudess’s new album with Steve Horelick entitled “interSonic”which features Wisdom Music Apps”

Experimental MIDI sequencer/pattern generator designed for iPhones. // FEATURES - 3 tracks (A, B, C) - Triggers for each track (3 × 8 triggers) - Pitch values shared across tracks (row of 8 values) - Heptatonic scales quantizer (5 scale patterns × 7 modes × 12 roots) - Scale morphing using Triadic transformations - Degree mask per track (exclusion of specific degrees from the scale) - Degree shift (degree transposition) per track - Gate length per track - Track length control for Track A and Track B (with optional reset synced to Track C) - Track C Pause control (Track C will wait 0-8 steps before looping back to start) - Clock divider per track - Random step jump per track (probability) - Clock acceleration linked to B Track's playhead position - Swing and BPM clock control - Velocity and MIDI channel (1–3) per track - Velocity can be modulated by LFO (per track) with Rate and Amount control - Pattern evolution synced to Track C loop - Evolution has selectable groups of processes/transformations - Variations generator based on current pattern and evolution settings (16 x 4 variations) - Optional automatic capture of output to .MID files (synchronized to Play button) // EVOLUTION When evolution is triggered (Track C loop), it will randomly select one of the enabled transformation groups and apply one of the transformations contained in that group. Transformation groups can also be "locked-in" so they happen each time when evolution is triggered. List of available groups and transformations within them: PITCH - The order of pitch values is reversed - Two pitch values are swapped TRIGS - Two trigger states are swapped (within a single track) - Trigger patterns of two tracks are swapped - The trigger pattern of a single track is reversed SHIFT - The degree is shifted randomly on a single track MORPH - One of the 3 triads defining currently selected scale is rotated (replaced MODE transformation from previous version) PAUSE - Empty steps are added at the end of track C (0-8) FLIP - The pitch values of single track are inverted - The pitch values of all tracks are inverted STEPS - The track length of A or B track is randomized MASK - The degree mask is shifted horizontally by one step (left or right) BPM - BPM is halved or doubled - BPM is inverted (120 BPM taken as the axis) - BPM jumps to a random value READ 1ST - First variation on current variation page is loaded (this transformation is excluded from variation generation). ACCELERATE - Acceleration parameters is randomized (speed up of clock depending on Track B playhead position) RANDOM POSITION A - Random step parameter of Track A is randomized // PRESETS There are 5 × 24 available slots for user presets. BPM and scale settings can be ignored when loading a preset. Evolution variations (64) are saved within presets. // SAVING TO MIDI FILES Output can be automatically saved to a .MID type. File will be located at the “On My iPhone/sqsl Mantra” folder and named using the current date and time. Takes start when PLAY is activated and end/save when PLAY is deactivated. File saving can be enabled (“AUTO SAVE” setting on the MIDI page) even after playback has started, since note events are always automatically captured in memory. Important notes: - Mantra does not make any sounds on its own, it generates MIDI messages (notes). - Mantra is standalone application and it can not be loaded as AUv3 in other apps/hosts.
