Phase Chimes vs TowerDub

MAKE MUSICAL MACHINES! Link gears together to compose surprisingly complex rhythms and melodies. Runs as an AUv3 MIDI plugin in host apps like AUM and Logic Pro (for iPad), or as a standalone app so you can explore musical ideas on your iPhone or iPad whenever inspiration strikes! THE CONCEPT - Differently-sized gears define gear ratios, which produce polyrhythms. - The connection angle between gears determines note pitch. Use these simple principles to create generative compositions with a visually elegant user interface. Compose patterns that evolve over time, or perform live by changing and arranging gears on-the-fly. FEATURES - Set each gear's size, offset, velocity, duration, and MIDI channel. - Store multiple snapshots of your composition and smoothly transition between them. - Reposition groups of gears to transpose and re-harmonize multiple notes at the same time. - Almost any aspect of a composition can be randomized. - Control external software or hardware instruments when in standalone MIDI mode or as an AUv3 plugin. - Synchronizes with your DAW's timeline to play in time with other tracks. - Get started quickly with an onscreen tutorial and a bunch of factory presets. SOUNDS Select from internal sounds such as a sampled grand piano, a Wurlitzer, and a vintage synthesizer. Whether you want to create a live audio-visual performance, add a polyrhythmic layer to your project, or compose an ambient, meditative atmosphere, Phase Chimes will surprise you with something new every time you engage with it.

TowerDub is an all-in-one groovebox for building reggae riddims and mixing dub, live. Program kick, snare, hats and perc as four independent drum voices, each with its own pattern, velocity and p-locks. Layer in Bass, Chords, Lead and Pads — warm, analog-style synths built for roots and dub, playable on a scale keyboard and recordable live with real quantized overdub. Record a vocal chop or a field sample straight into the built-in Sampler. Mix it down through a proper dub desk: send delay and reverb per instrument, sweep a King Tubby–style resonant filter across any bus, throw in siren stabs, and pass your mic straight through the board. Cut instruments in and out live, capture the whole pass with one-tap dub recording, and keep multiple mix versions of the same riddim. No subscriptions — just a warm, hand-tuned instrument built for the sound of the desk.
