This app is designed to show how a note written for a given instrument (e.g. a Clarinet in Bb) would be written on another instrument (e.g. a Horn in F). - Intended for music students, conductors, composers and anybody who wants to get quicker at reading scores - Choose from over 100 instruments to transpose - many with configurable keys and clefs - Use the slider to interactively see the result of the transposition - Includes info on instrument ranges and transposition properties - Supports 4 clefs (automatically selected based on instrument conventions and register) - Includes guidance on the fundamentals of reading transposing instruments - Supports dark and light themes

About

GRDelay

This audio effect plugin creates unique sound textures by generating up to 16 stereo 'grains' from delayed input audio. It offers randomization of grain shape, delay time, and pitch-shifting for experimental sound design.

Highlights
  • Granular synthesis-based delay
  • Up to 16 stereo grains
  • Randomized grain shape and delay time
  • Pitch-shifting and cascading grains
  • Standalone and AUv3 compatible

GRDelay - Granular Random Delay Plugin (AUv3) GRDelay is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic Pro or GarageBand. Overview - What's a Granular Random Delay? GRDelay is a randomised delay effect that uses a similar approach to granular synthesis to generate sound. In GRDelay, up to 16 "grains" of stereo sound are created in realtime from delayed copies of the input audio, with control over the grain shape and delay time. There are also options to pitch-shift grains up an octave, and cascade the output from one grain into another. Shape, delay time and pitch-shifting can all be randomised to create some really unusual effects and textures. While GRDelay can produce sounds similar to existing pitch-shifted delays and even shimmer effects, the design is totally original, and to the best of my knowledge, quite sonically unique. I think GRDelay is really one of those effects you need to hear to believe, so please do check out the reviews and demos online. Please note, because there's a "whole lot of random going on" in GRDelay, it's not a good choice if you want a delay that can do tempo / clock-sync'd rhythmic delays. Perhaps take a look at PolyDelay which offers tempo sync to host and musical note length delay times. For more info and support please visit: www.waverley-instruments.com/robjackson

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is chart position: Transposer Pro at #194 against GRDelay's unranked. Transposer Pro also leads on price ($0.99 vs $1.99). GRDelay's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.3). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
