Trace Sequenced Sample Box vs Music Practice Coach

WELCOME TO TRACE Trace is a versatile tool for sample based music creation presented by immons audio tools. It´s a drumcomputer, groovebox, sample animator and metronome with onboard effects and live performing skills. Use it intuitively to achieve unexpected, inspiring results and produce rhythms, complete playbacks, atmospheric soundtracks, etc.. It comes with a really special sequencer which is priority driven, means: One channel trigger at a time to create unusual patterns with automatic generated death notes. Do not have to preprogram any sequence. Just dial in the pattern length and tempo, choose a sample and divisor for each channel and let it swing. Create a song with the arranger and synchronize your patterns and selected channel delays to the global song speed. Play your animated samples, patterns and songs live with multiple realtime FX options per channel/group and use the internal recorder to tape your session to wav. Share your recorded wav´s via social media, e-mail and cloud, or drag and drop them, patterns and songs to your computer. Trace comes with more than 160 carefully created sounds. Each sequencer channel includes: Beat Divisor/Trigger 18 divisors/trigger points, including different subdivisions of 1/4 note. Changes happen on the fly, with preview. Sound Make your selection out of the provided onboard sounds and import your own samples and soundbanks to dial in your favorite tone. Changes happen on the fly, with preview. Volume Set the volume for each channel. Solo/Mute Select channel solo or mute a various number of channels and control this group with just one button. Swing/Probably Bring your beats up to life and build spacy rhythmical sculptures, jazzy grooves and audio landscapes. Includes negative swing. EFFECTS & PERFORMANCE Mixer is the integrated effects and performance tool of the sequenced sample box. It is intuitive operable without any menu scrolling and performance ready with the groupable options. You can shape the sound for each channel with: Delay 1 Every channel has it´s own full featured delay plus tap tempo, ms/bpm input and the possibility to sync the delays to future pattern speed changes. Delay 2 Rhythm delay with eighth dotted, quarter triplet, eighth and eighth triplet time presets relatet to delay 1 or pattern speed. Ring Modulator Add and subtract the dialed in oscillator frequency to your sample frequency and bring them together again for some really weird results. Bit Crusher Reduce the bit depth to add noise and sustain, works great in cooperation with the ring modulator. Varispeed Speed up or slow down the samples read speed, like a pitched tape recorder. Panorama Place sound in the stereo field. Mute With group option for assigned channels. RSP Reverse sample playback with group option for assigned channels to swap the status quo. Shortener Divide the sample length by factors 2/4/8 with group option for assigned channels to swap between your choice and full sample length. NOTE: All of the blocks listed above can be assigned to the master toggle switch to swap the status quo.

Music Practice Coach turns a vague "go practice" into a plan you can follow. A plan is a sequence of steps. Each one does a single job: a timed instruction, a metronome at a set tempo, a passage of sheet music to read, or a loop of a recording slowed down until it is playable. You work through them in order, and the app keeps time. WHAT A STEP CAN BE • Instruction — text to read, with an optional tuner for tuning up • Timed — a countdown, with a metronome if you want one • Tempo ramp — the metronome steps up from a starting tempo to a target, cycle by cycle • Score — sheet music on screen with a countdown, and a metronome or a tempo ramp • Audio, video, or MIDI loop — set A and B points and repeat that passage, at any speed • Loop plus score — the recording and the sheet music side by side • YouTube — practice along with a video, with speed control and loop points THE MUSIC SCROLLS ITSELF Set a scrolling speed and the score moves while your hands stay on the instrument. It works on an ordinary PDF, page after page. Or turn on Prima Vista, which reflows the score into one continuous ribbon of systems, so a page turn never lands in the middle of a phrase. Go full screen, and if a page is read wrongly, say how many systems it has — the correction is kept. SLOW IT DOWN, KEEP THE PITCH Audio loops play from 30% to 200% speed without the pitch shifting, so a fast passage stays in tune while you learn it. Pitch shifts separately, in semitones or five-cent steps, which is fine enough for quarter tones and for matching an instrument tuned to something other than A440. A SPEED RAMP THAT DOES THE WORK Set a starting speed and a target and the plan advances through the stages as you play, which is the part people skip when practising alone. METRONOME AND TUNER, ALWAYS THERE A full metronome — any meter, per-beat accents, adjustable subdivisions — and a chromatic tuner with an adjustable A4 reference and a drone. Both work on their own, without a plan. MARK UP THE MUSIC Write on a score with an Apple Pencil — fingerings, bowings, the bar you keep missing. The markings belong to the file rather than the plan, so they are there again the next time any plan uses that score. FOR TEACHERS Build a plan, and share it as a package with everything it needs: the plan, the recordings, the scores. Students open it and practise exactly what you set. You can publish a catalog of plans your students install in one tap, and lock the media with a code if the recordings are not yours to give away. YOUR FILES STAY YOURS Everything lives in a folder you choose. No account, no sign-in, no subscription, no ads, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. The Mac and iPad apps read the same folder, and there is a web version for everything else. Free, with no in-app purchases.
