MelodyHarmonizer vs ANALOGyKIT

Are you interested in tonal harmony? Do you want to test your melody with harmony? MelodyHarmonizer is built for musicians, composers, and improvisers looking for new harmonic ideas. With MelodyHarmonizer, you can generate a wide variety of unique harmonizations for any melodic line you provide. Whether your input melody is tonal, chromatic, free-tonal, or even twelve-tone (dodecaphonic), the app explores what kinds of harmonic progressions can be applied to it. A Tool for Harmonic Exploration: MelodyHarmonizer is intentionally not based on standard probabilities. This means it does not necessarily produce a fully polished or the most commonly heard harmonization. Instead of forced, conventional coherence, it opens up unexpected harmonic paths and challenges your musical routine. Key Features: • Control the strength of suggested modulations. • Exclude unwanted chords from the harmonization rules. • Adjust the playback tempo of the harmonized melody. • Fine-tune relative note durations without affecting the underlying harmony. Discover tonal harmony in new contexts and expand your musical creativity with MelodyHarmonizer!

ANALOGyKIT Virtual Analog Drum Kit (AUv3) Introduction ANALOGyKIT (“analog-ee kit”) is an AUv3 virtual instrument plugin that can run standalone, or in any AUv3 compatible host such as Logic Pro, GarageBand or AUM. Please note that the standalone version does not include a built-in keyboard - you need to connect a suitable MIDI device to play the synth. Please also note that ANALOGyKIT is not a drum machine, so does not have a built-in pattern sequencer. It has been designed as a virtual drum kit / drum module controlled via MIDI, using a separate sequencer plugin or piano roll in a DAW. ANALOGyKIT currently runs on iOS (iPad & iPhone) and macOS (Intel & Silicon) and is available as a Universal Purchase from the Apple App Store. If you’re planning on using ANALOGyKIT on Mac / desktop, please ensure that your favourite DAW / host supports AUv3 (not just AU). NOTE - ANALOGyKIT uses the same synthesis engine as ANALOGyDR so you can think of ANALOGyKIT as 8 x ANALOGyDR, plus pitch-sweepable oscillators, lo-fi bit-crushing, dedicated per-voice effects and a master / mixer section. Design Overview ANALOGyKIT is an 8 voice virtual analog drum synthesizer, i.e. it does not use samples. The design is based on the sound engines in early analog drum machines for the late 1970’s and early 80’s. Each voice comprises two tuneable pitched oscillators (with sweep), two noise sources and a variable mode filter with envelope. A lo-fi bit-crushing effect can also be applied to each voice independently. All eight voices have their own dedicated tempo-sync delay and reverb with gate effect. The master output section includes an 8 channel stereo mixer and simple one-knob controls for compression, limiting and clipping. Presets ANALOGyKIT comes with factory presets for Kits and individual Drums, and user presets can be saved or loaded using the OS file system browser. New Kits can be generated automatically by combining sounds randomly from existing factory Drum and Kit presets.
