Dial Upstrum vs Stochastic Lab

Boot up that beige box, hear the sweet symphony of your 56k modem screeching into life, and prepare to surf the information superhighway like it's 1999! Play the 56k DialUp handshake sounds as a musical instrument on your iPhone or iPad! Change the modem sounds (and visuals) phase and pitch to make some weird, wonderful and familiar sounds! Plugin to your favourite AUv3 host and make unique music unlike anything else. Log on. Dial in. Based on the critically acclaimed ZX Plectrum! (but with more sounds and flexibility!) What people say about ZX Plectrum: "As seen on TV" on Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit Used by multi-Platinum band Placebo in their live events. "ZX Plectrum lets you make music Spectrum style on your iPhone" pocket-lint.com "Utterly pointless but also utterly engaging" bamm.tv "For Nostlagia lovers of a very specific demographic this will sound like heaven" calmdowntom.com "The Greatest iPad App of ALL TIME" conoroneill.net

Stochastic Lab is a generative composition tool built around the mathematical methods Iannis Xenakis used to compose: probability distributions, stochastic processes, and Markov chains, applied directly to sound. GENERATE • 6 generation modes: melody, rhythm, cluster, cloud, pointillistic, sequence • 6 probability distributions: uniform, Gaussian, exponential, Cauchy, Poisson, linear decay • Full control over density, register, tempo, block length, and Markov-driven contour • Choose a single orchestral section (strings, winds, brass) or let the generator blend all three • Pick exactly which percussion sounds are in play REAL INSTRUMENTS • Real sampled strings (high & low), winds, brass, and an 8-piece percussion kit — not synthesized approximations • Authentic short (pizzicato/staccato) and sustained articulations • Genuine glissando and tremolo, generated as part of the composition itself EDIT & PERFORM • Full piano roll editor: drag notes, edit pitch by semitone, adjust duration and velocity • A live recording keyboard to play your own material into any layer • Freeze a generated block into a fixed, fully editable sequence at any time SCORE • A live, Xenakis-style graphic score (particle-cloud visualization) for every layer • Expand any layer — or the full combined score — to fullscreen, with zoom and a moving playhead • Export the score itself as a printable, shareable image SEQUENCE & ARRANGE • Multi-layer Sequencer for building full compositions from generated or recorded material • Song mode for arranging multiple sections into a complete piece EXPORT • Export audio (WAV) and MIDI, mixed or as separate stems per layer, straight from the Generator, Sequencer, or Song view AUv3 PLUGIN • Stochastic Lab also runs as a real Audio Unit (AUv3) instrument inside GarageBand, Logic, AUM, and other hosts • The actual generative engine runs live inside your DAW — not a static sample player • A dedicated on-plugin control panel (mode, distribution, density, pitch range, tempo, and more), with a Preview button to audition before recording • Full MIDI recording support, including pitch bend and glissando THEORY • A built-in Theory section covering Xenakis's life and stochastic music concepts, with real-instrument audio examples for every distribution Stochastic Lab works entirely on-device — no account, no internet connection required, no data collected.
