Tandem MIDI Canvas vs BATTUTA 8

Tandem turns your iPhone or iPad into a customizable MIDI controller you can actually trust on stage. Build your own layouts in minutes, map them fast, save reusable presets, and perform with powerful features like snapshots, morphing, motion control, and real-time collaboration. Whether you’re producing in the studio, playing live, teaching, or building DJ performance layouts, Tandem gives you a fast, flexible way to create controllers that fit your workflow instead of forcing you into someone else’s. BUILD THE CONTROLLER YOU ACTUALLY WANT Create custom layouts with knobs, faders, XY pads, drum pads, buttons, toggles, momentary buttons, endless encoders, transport controls, and gyroscope-based motion. Start from a blank canvas or jump in quickly with templates for mixers, synth performance rigs, drum layouts, dashboards, and more. Save your setups as presets and reuse them whenever you want. FAST WORKFLOW, BUILT FOR REAL USE Tandem is designed to help you build quickly and perform confidently. Features include: • Smart snapping and responsive grids • Spacing tools for clean layouts • Focus Mode for precision editing • Fast MIDI Learn • Helpful hints and a replayable tutorial walkthrough • Smart MIDI setup so new controls can automatically map to unused assignments SHAPESHIFT YOUR PERFORMANCE This is where Tandem becomes more than a controller. Save up to 8 snapshots of an entire layout, including all control values. Instantly jump between states or smoothly interpolate between them using a Morph Driver. It’s perfect for live performance, evolving sound design, transitions, and expressive macro control. RANDOMIZATION YOU CAN PLAY Map Randomize to a button or pad and generate musical variation on demand. Great for experimentation, happy accidents, sound design, and live moments that feel alive instead of static. COLLABORATE IN REAL TIME With Tandem Mode, multiple devices can share and control the same layout together. Host or join a session and collaborate live across devices—ideal for bands, classrooms, writing rooms, rehearsals, and shared performance setups. Locally and Remotely via SharePlay! DJ AND PERFORMANCE READY Tandem isn’t just for synths and studio control. It can also power performance-oriented layouts for transport, mixing, browser access, FX control, looping, hot cues, waveforms, and more. Build focused pages for the way you actually perform. THEMES THAT LOOK GOOD AND HOLD UP ON STAGE Use high-contrast, stage-ready themes or create your own look. Tandem includes a redesigned Theme Maker plus import/export support for themes and preset packages so you can share setups and visual styles. FLEXIBLE CONNECTIVITY Connect with: • USB-C • Bluetooth MIDI • Wi-Fi Background processing helps keep MIDI flowing while you work. Tandem isn’t just a MIDI controller app. It’s a controller builder with performance features you usually only get from dedicated hardware—wrapped in a workflow that’s fast, modern, and easy to come back to. Design your ideal controller, save your favorite setups, morph entire layouts, and perform anywhere—solo or together.

BATTUTA 8 is a patchable percussion synthesizer and sequencer for iPhone and iPad, available standalone and as an AUv3 instrument. Build deep kicks, metallic hits, noisy textures and shifting rhythmic patterns with two oscillators, fast envelopes and hands-on patching. SHAPE THE HIT Tune two wide-range oscillators, switch waveforms and explore hard sync and oscillator-to-oscillator FM. Blend in noise, then shape pitch, filter and volume with three independent percussion envelopes. A resonant low-pass or high-pass filter takes the sound from rounded bass to sharp, unstable percussion. MAKE THE PATTERN Edit pitch and velocity directly across eight steps. Set sequence length from 1 to 8 steps on the main panel, adjust tempo in whole BPM or enter an exact decimal value, and choose how the pitch sequence controls the oscillators. Seven sequence slots hold independent instrument states, including the sequence, sound and patch settings. Copy and paste a complete slot with its sound, or use the separate pattern editing tools to rotate, reverse and vary a sequence. Recall slots from the panel or with MIDI keyswitches. EXPLORE FLAVOUR Choose oscillator colour and waveform with graphical selectors, adjust pulse bias, and shape the filter with drive, selectable slopes, profiles and character. IMPACT BODY adds a tuned resonator for extra body and ringing textures. PATCH AND PERFORM The 24-socket patch system connects audio, modulation, envelopes, velocity, trigger and clock signals. Explore new relationships between the voice and sequencer, then save the patch with your sound. EXT brings together delay and reverb, MIDI/MPE controller setup and Learn, performance macros and sequence-slot settings. Edit the IMPACT signature macro's targets and ranges to shape several parameters with one gesture. KEEP YOUR SOUNDS Save complete USER presets and access the same library in standalone and AUv3. Optional private iCloud sync keeps USER presets available across devices using the same Apple Account. Local presets remain available offline; iCloud sync requires network access and available iCloud storage. PLAY YOUR WAY Use BATTUTA 8 on its own or load it as an AUv3 instrument in a compatible host such as AUM. FULL and COMPACT layouts adapt the controls to iPad, iPhone and plug-in windows. The built-in GUIDE explains the instrument, patching and preset workflow. Explore BATTUTA 8: https://trambustissimo.com/#battuta Support: support@alessandroguardascione.com
