About

Binarhythmic Rhythm Generator

This app generates rhythmic MIDI outputs based on binary numbers, allowing for intricate control over note, velocity, and gate length. It offers advanced logic operations and randomization for unique rhythmic patterns. It functions as a standalone app and an AUv3 MIDI plugin.

Highlights
  • Binary-based MIDI sequencing
  • Configurable bit parameters (note, velocity, gate length)
  • Advanced logic operations (AND, OR, XOR)
  • Randomizer for note selection
  • Multiple gate types (Rest, Single, Multiple, Hold)
  • AUv3 MIDI plugin support
  • Standalone app functionality

Read full description

Binarhythmic is a MIDI sequencer that would generate rhythmic outputs based on the binary numbers. The sequencer has a counter, increasing on each sequencer cycle. The binary form of this number, something like "010110011".  Each 0 or 1 is a "Bit", and each bit is a MIDI output. If a bit is 1 then the gate is open for that bit, and if it's 0 then the gate is closed for that bit.  You can use the Multiplier parameter for controlling the sequencer counter.  The rate parameter controls the sequencer speed. Each bit has a note, velocity, gate length, trigger type and logic operation.  You can also vary the velocity and gate length. With the lower amounts of variety, you can humanise the sounds like Hi-Hats.  You can assign different MIDI channels to the bits and control different synths. The gate type is a very important parameter for the rhythm generation. On each sequencer cycle, if the gate is open for a bit; - Rest mode doesn't send the MIDI. - Single mode sends the MIDI once for the first sequencer cycle when the gate is opened. - Multiple mode sends the MIDI on each sequencer cycle while the gate is opened. - Hold mode sends the MIDI when the gate is opened and sustains it until the gate is closed Logic is one of the most powerful features of Binarhythmic. You can create endless rhythmic possibilities by using the logic operations. You can modulate the bits by applying logic operations on them with the other bits. - AND(&) operation opens the gate if the bit's gate is open AND the other bit's gate is open. - OR(+) operation opens the gate if the bit's gate is open OR the other bit's gate is open. - XOR(^) operation opens the gate if the other bit's gate is NOT open. With the randomizer you can randomize the notes on your bits in a range of notes that you can set. Or you can hand-pick the allowed notes from the list. With that feature, you can fully control the randomizer. In the "Random" mode, you can assign the randomization chance of the bits. When select the Random mode, the new Config button on the bottom toolbar appears and you can configure the randomizer. You can also access this configuration menu from the settings menu as well. In the multiple gate type mode, you can set the randomizer behaviour from the settings menu. If you toggle the "Randomize notes on each sequencer cycle" setting, then the randomizer will generate a new note on each sequencer cycle while the gate is open, if the gate type is multiple. Otherwise, it will randomize the note on the first sequencer cycle when the gate is opened and will trigger that note on each sequencer cycle until the gate is closed. Binarhythmic app runs as standalone app as well as AUv3 MIDI Plugin. You can create AU presets and use AU parameters of the AUv3 plugin. You can control or even automate every AU parameter of Binarhythmic.  You can modulate the multiplier parameter with PatternBud. You can also control the key and scale with BrainBud. Binarhythmic is a MIDI app and does not produce any sound on its own. You need to route its MIDI output to an audio app. For using the AUv3 plugin, you need an AUv3 host app such as AUM, Cubasis, Nanostudio, Loopy Pro etc.

About

isxynth

This music effect plugin allows spectral cross synthesis and morphing between two input signals. It separates noise and tone components, offering controls for blending, freezing, and time-based delays. Gestures on controls can be recorded and played back for dynamic sound shaping.

Highlights
  • Spectral cross synthesis
  • Morphing between two input signals
  • Noise and tone component blending
  • Freeze control for spectral blurring
  • 3-second delay lines per input
  • Gesture recording and playback

isxysnth is spectral cross synthesis / morphing plugin it gets two input signals, splits each one into 2 parts containing noise and tone components and then allows morphing between all these elements. Freeze control allows spectral blurring-like effect for both input signals, two 3 second delay lines allow selection of different signal in time and also provide "freeze" effect you can process left and right channels on stereo source or use this effect as multi-input AUv3 - in that case it will use 2 stereo inputs. Standalone mode currently works only in "mono" mode - three XY controls set balance between tone and noise components, amount of freeze and set up morphing - both inputs have 3-second delay line; freeze button ("*") toggles off recording. - gestures on all the main controls (3 xy pads and two sliders) can be recorded and played back when appropriate button with ">" label is toggled on - in current version standalone app supports only mono (L + R as inputs I and II) processing

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Binarhythmic Rhythm Generator at 5.0 against isxynth's 3.7. Binarhythmic Rhythm Generator also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 34 months) and price ($3.99 vs $7.99). isxynth's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
