MuseBud vs Weeping Wall

MuseBud, a generative MIDI sequencer, creates notes based on the possibilities you define. Customize the chances for every aspect, including notes, octaves, note lengths, velocities, gate lengths, and ratchets. Each mode (note, octave, duration, velocity, gate, ratchet) features its own parameters. Utilize the faders on the main UI to set the likelihood of each parameter being selected by the engine. Easily exclude parameters by assigning them a 0% chance, ensuring they never occur. For quick adjustments, employ the draw mode, 'All 0%' and 'All 100%' buttons on the bottom toolbar. When you press the play button in the standalone app or the AUv3 host app, MuseBud continuously generates notes. The looper records up to 64 notes in its buffer, enabling you to loop back a preferred section in the sequence. Set the start point and step count of the looper in the buffer. Pressing play on the looper stops generating new notes and begins looping the selected section. When you stop the looper, MuseBud resumes generating new notes. Toggle the record button on the looper off to prevent recording new notes into the buffer. Edit steps in the looper by simply tapping the desired step to delete or edit, and choose an action from the popup menu. In the step editor, modify properties assigned by the engine, such as note, duration, octave, velocity, gate length, and ratchet count. Generate various patterns for multiple generative sequences. Each pattern comes with its own looper buffer. When creating a new pattern, it automatically duplicates the current one, ensuring you can craft multiple loops without losing your randomization settings. - In the note mode, you'll have "Rest" (no note) and all the notes in the scale you are working. You can change the key/scale in the settings menu as well as with the BrainBud app. - Octaves could be between -1 and +9. - A note duration could be as long as 4-bars long or 1/64th note long. - Adjust velocity between 0-127. Use the fader grouping button at the bottom to filter faders for faster assignments. - Gate length can range from 0% to 100%. The fader grouping button is also available in gate mode for streamlined adjustments. - Ratchets can be between 1 (no ratchets), 2, 3 or 4 repeats. For optimal results, fine-tune the possibilities and consider excluding a few parameters for added precision. MuseBud is a MIDI app and does not generate sound on its own. To hear its output, route MuseBud's MIDI output to your audio app's MIDI input. The AUv3 plugin app requires an AUv3 host app, such as AUM, Loopy Pro, Logic Pro, Cubasis, Nanostudio, apeMatrix, and more.

Weeping Wall is a standalone app and AUv3 plug-in. WW is a set of microloopers that automatically record based on input detection. Each new sound will be smoothly introduced and replace older sounds, resulting in a group of sounds that always reflect the most recent input. Each looper behaves independently - their size can vary and they will beat against each other as they phase. Up to 5 loopers are available to record into, with repitching and reverse controls as well. A dedicated “jitter” control allows you to randomly vary the size of each looper on each loop, creating variations that will never be heard again. Weeping Wall can be used as an effect directly on a track, or as a send effect. WW is intended to be a modular tool; it doesn’t include reverb, EQ, saturation, flutter, etc., but it plays extremely well with them. WW is a brand new effect that can be used in any number of creative ways - you can place it fully wet in front of a reverb, place a hint of it behind a saturator, combine it with your favorite pitch modulation - whatever you can dream. WW is fully compatible with automation and modulators such as Ableton CV to broaden the horizons even further. Weeping Wall has the following controls available: Threshold: The volume at which input will start recording into a looper. Looper size: The size of loopers, in seconds, from 0.1s to 3s. Jitter: A control for desynchronizing loops. Loops will be randomly shortened, and each one is free to change size independent of one another. Semitones: Repitch loops, with a range of +/- one octave. Reverse: A latching control to reverse looper playback. Looper number: Up to five loopers are available. Hold time: How long loops will be held before fading away, from seconds to forever. This essentially controls whether WW functions more as a looper or as a delay. Independent dry and wet volumes: Use WW as an effect directly on your track, or as a send effect. Beat syncing: Loopers can be synced to your tempo, from 1 whole measure to 1/64th notes. Macro-looper mode: Loops can grow to up to 60 seconds in length. Transport syncing: Loopers can be paused or destroyed on pause. Live performance mode: Enables a button-based UI designed with live performance in mind. Random skip: Loops can be randomly skipped over with some probability. Crossfade length: Control the length of the crossfade occurring at the start/end of each loop to keep sharper transients or smooth them off. Fade time: Control how long loops take to fade in/out. Filters: The wet channel can be high or low pass filtered for dialing in your sound.
