MIDI SolFa Mode vs MIDIme

A unique musical instrument. An interactive music theory medium. An amazing solmization machine. A universal MIDI tool. All in one: "MIDI SolFa Mode-Go-Round" unites and extends the possibilities of the apps "Musk MIDI Keyboard", "Musk MIDI Player", "Musk Diatonic Modes" and the "SolFa Mode-Go-Round". Therefore there are many creative and didactic use cases. Play and grasp music! Use cases: ========== * Play on the diatonic or chromatic keyboard. * Study or teach scales, church modes, and the circle of fifths. * Discover improvising polyphonic canons. * Learn Movable-Do and Fixed-Do solmization. * Connect to your MIDI apps and devices or play with connected "SolFa Mode-Go-Rounds". * Load sounds and polyphonic pieces. * Tune into your part. Hear its solmization. Touch instruments: ================== * The app features a diatonically oriented spiral shaped keyboard with 7 keys per octave. (Tone circle) * With it you can easily play well sounding melodies and chords in major, minor or other church modes. + Besides it, there is a chromatic piano keyboard. (iPhone: Landscape orientation, iPad: double tap piano-button) Sounds: ======= * Instrumental sounds: a General-MIDI sound font is pre-installed. (See also "Musk MIDI Keyboard" for more options.) * To study church modes and solmization, the syllables "do re mi fa so la ti" where recorded in 3 octaves. + Freely mix instrument and solmization sounds. Listen to the solmization of the tenor, hear the bass as piano and the soprano as flute notes. + Choose a small choir ("Erlebnisland") with warm sounds or synthetic Bruno, who really sings to the point. Music theory: ============= * The generalised touch circle of fifth gives access to 12 tonics und 7 modes. * The touch instruments change according to the selected tonic and mode. * There are 5 mathematical-musical base modulations. * Interactive tutorials introduce you to the operation. * Get a fine feeling for the character differences between the diatonic scales Major (Ionian), natural Minor (Aeolean) and the church modes Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian and Locrian. * Understand how they are interrelated. + Improvise up to five-part counterpoint canons "note-by-note": You play the melody and the canon assistent shows how to proceed. * You can also invent normal canons. Just play in half notes. + You can change labels on the tone circle, e.g. to test your or your students knowledge. Solmization: ============ * The syllables depend on the pitch, the chosen tonic/mode configuration and the solmization method. * They are shown on the tone circle and can be heared. * Solmization methods: absolute solmization (Fixed-Do), relative solmization (Movable-Do) and scale degree solmization. MIDI features: ============== * With this app, you can send and receive MIDI notes and play back MIDI files. * All features of "Musk MIDI Keyboard" and "Musk MIDI Player" are available. (See "Related Apps" in the App Store) + Record tracks and export midi files. + During recording of notes, the related solmization syllables can be attached to the track as lyrics. These can be shown by any MIDI-Karaoke player. + This app sends and receives configuration change commands. You can keep all connected "MIDI SolFa Mode-Go-Rounds" in sync. + You can also add bass notes with an external notation app. These will trigger tonic/mode changes. Synchronization: ================= + Notes and configuration changes are transmitted via MIDI to connected devices and apps. + Using SharePlay you can play with friends over the Internet and play back midi files synchronously. + Nearby devices, e.g. in the classroom, can synchronize their settings via OSC and OSC-Query. See also: ========= * "SolFa Mode-Go-Round", "Tonkreisel", "Musk MIDI Player", "Musk MIDI Keyboard". * Features marked with "*" are available in other apps. * Features marked with "+" are only available in this app. Have fun and let the mode go round!

Open a MIDI file and make it your own practice session. MIDI Me is a free MIDI player for listening, exploring parts, and practicing at your own pace. No ads, subscriptions, paid unlocks, accounts, or tracking. LISTEN OFFLINE Start playing with the included General MIDI soundbank. Import your own SF2 or DLS soundbank, or choose an available CoreMIDI destination to send notes to another instrument. A built-in demo lets you try the player immediately. PRACTICE YOUR PART Slow playback down or speed it up. Mute or solo individual tracks, repeat an A-B passage, and transpose melodic parts by up to two octaves in either direction. Standard drum channel 10 keeps its percussion pitches. Adjust instruments and levels by MIDI channel, and return to the settings supplied by the file whenever you like. Your practice settings are remembered for each song. SEE THE MUSIC Explore a piano roll with zoom, pan, pitch labels, and follow mode. View lyrics, markers, and cue points when the file contains them, and jump to their positions. The piano roll shows the original notes. KEEP YOUR LIBRARY LOCAL Search and rename songs, arrange playlists, and build a playback queue. Removed songs can be restored. Your imported originals stay unchanged, and your library and settings stay on your device. Switch between light, dark, and system appearance, or use the mini player while listening. SAVE OR SHARE Export the unchanged original MIDI, or render the full song to WAV with your selected soundbank, speed, transpose, and mix. MIDI export preserves the original file rather than applying playback edits. WAV export renders the whole song, not just an A-B selection. FILE SUPPORT AND PRACTICE NOTES Supports Standard MIDI File formats 0 and 1 with beat-based timing, including compatible .mid, .midi, and .kar files. Format 2 and SMPTE-timed MIDI are not supported. Files are limited to 64 MB, 1,000,000 events, and 250,000 notes. A-B loops use 50 ms polling and are not sample-accurate. Muting or soloing a track also filters its SysEx messages, which can affect global sound setup in some files. Transposed notes outside MIDI's pitch range are omitted. Tracks sharing a MIDI channel share its instrument and level. WAV rendering is limited to two hours. MIDI Me plays musical instructions; it does not convert recorded audio to MIDI or provide sheet-music notation. Lyrics appear only when included in the file. External MIDI destinations need their own sound source.
