The music industry has long existed by exploiting artists…. and Ribo Music is about to tip the scales. The current music landscape is broken. Record labels continue to exploit emerging artists. Fans find it increasingly difficult to discover great new music. In 2020, 90% of all revenue from streams on Spotify went to the top 1% of artists. Independent Artists lack the "leverage" and support required to grow and prosper in the digital world.Β  Imagine how much great music never gets heard because independent artists cannot afford to make a living doing what they love. Ribo Music is about to change this. Ribo Music is where artists and fans come first. Ribo will support next wave of emerging musicians by offering a comprehensive package of streaming, merchandising, airtime, and booking of venues to support and promote artists. For the fans, at $8.00 dollars per year, Ribo will give members access to an app where they will discover brand new artists. Unlike today’s record labels, Ribo artists will receive a fair share of their revenue streams. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Midi

Midi-Morf is a four-track groovebox for your phone. Build a beat, chop a break, sample your voice and play it all live, with no extra gear. REMIX GRID Load any loop and it splits into 16 pads, locked to the tempo. Tap a pad to jump there, hold two to loop between them, and play rows against each other. Each row can LOOP, play a single SLICE, or GATE while you hold. Record your moves with two pattern recorders, store whole setups in recall slots, and everything stays on the beat. SAMPLER Record from the mic or load your own WAV files. Play a sample across the keys, as one-shots, or chopped into slices. Say "macaroni and cheese" into it and turn it into a beat. DRUMS A synthesized drum machine with kits from 808 and Boom Bap to Jungle, House, Trap, Lo-fi, Disco and Techno, played from a step grid with swing. SYNTH A wavetable synth with a library of presets β€” basses, keys, pads and leads β€” and deep editing when you want it. FOUR TRACKS, EIGHT SCENES Give each track an instrument and a sound. Launch clips and scenes in time, mix with volume, inserts and delay/reverb sends, and record what you play. PLAY IT YOUR WAY Step sequencer, a break slicer, a piano roll and drum editor, plus the original Midi-Morf controllers: Morf-Chord, Rose-Chord, Strum-Chord, Morf-Pad and Dual M-Pad. Tilt the phone to move the sound. PERFORM Punch in master FX live: filter, stutter, tape stop, delay throw, reverb wash, bitcrush, trance gate and vinyl brake. GET STARTED IN A MINUTE Take the tour and it builds a beat with you, step by step. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. Everything is included. Made by Retro Relic β€” retro-relic.com
