Amplee vs TinyRiff

Simplify the chaos. Amplify the music. Running a band can sometimes feel like another full time job. Between scheduling rehearsals, tracking who's showing up to the gig, sharing setlists, and hunting for that one screenshot of a setlist someone sent three weeks ago — the boring stuff can easily drown out what actually matters: making music together. Amplee is the all-in-one hub built specifically for bands to make all the boring stuff easy. No more scattered threads across five different apps. No more "wait, when was that gig again?" No more last-minute surprises because someone missed a message buried under 100 memes. Everything your band needs, in one place. - Event Chat — Dedicated conversations for each event. Discuss the gig without derailing your main group chat. Keep work stuff inside your events with Amplee. Keep memes in your other group chat. - Events & Scheduling — Create gigs, rehearsals, and sessions with all the details in one spot. Date, time, location, notes — it's all there, and everyone sees the same thing. - Roll Call & RSVPs — Know who's in and who's out before you show up. No more awkward "did everyone remember the gig?" texts the day of. - Setlists — Build, share, and reorder your setlists and ongs. Keep templates for recurring shows and share song notes with subs. - File Sharing — Share tracks, stems, chord charts, contracts, and stage plots. Find what you need without scrolling through months of messages. - Notes — Collaborative notes for each event. Sound preferences, parking info, contact details for the venue — document it once, access it always. - Band Rosters — Invite your bandmates, manage roles, and keep everyone connected. You can whatever combination of people you want (a trio, a duo, a 4-piece) Amplee handles it all - invite your rosters to different events. Heck, you can even invite your mom to the event chat if you want! Built for musicians, by people who get it. I have been a gigging musician for most of my adult life. I know the drill. You've got a day job, side projects, and somehow you're also trying to coordinate a bunch of other people with equally chaotic schedules. Amplee cuts through the noise so you can focus on what brought you together in the first place. Stop managing your band through chaos. Start making music. Amplee — Simplify the chaos. Amplify the music.

TinyRiff is a performance pad app for triggering chords, backing patterns, and layered sampler performances from a single pad—ideal for practice, songwriting, and live performance. (The app has been renamed from TinyTone to TinyRiff as of version 1.5) Use TinyRIff as a MIDI pad for GarageBand, synthesizers, electric pianos, samplers, and other MIDI gear. With the built-in “TinyTone” sound engine, you can also play instantly without any external devices or MIDI connections. TinyTone can also be used as a chord input pad within Mac DAW environments. Chords can be entered not only from external MIDI input, but also directly on the app screen. Up to four key transpose settings (key shift / octave shift) can be stored within a single pad set, allowing you to switch chord arrangements for intros, verses, choruses, outros, and other musical sections from the same pad layout. TinyRIff can also load sound data created with the separate “TinyTone” app, allowing you to use original sounds directly inside TinyRIff. With TinyRIff Yearly (annual subscription), you can save, share, and import up to 100 pad layout sets. The free version supports saving up to 5 sets. [Added in version 1.5] New “Riff-Pattern” and “Step Sequencer” modes have been added. • Riff Pattern: Freely assign notes across 16 steps, including upper, middle, and lower notes within a chord. TIE input is also supported. • Step Sequencer: Create 16-step patterns with support for ties and rests. • Each mode includes 4 slots that can be switched during performance. • Supports real-time performance together with slider control and transpose. • Created patterns can be imported and exported together with pad presets, and shared via AirDrop. Improved MIDI connectivity with GarageBand and AUM. • To use GarageBand or AUM, select "VIRTUAL MIDI" as the MIDI output. • "VIRTUAL MIDI" sends MIDI data to all connected host apps. When using GarageBand and AUM simultaneously, disable TinyRiff MIDI input on the host you do not want to control.
