Pixelboop vs HexaChip

Make music as visual as it is audible. Pixelboop turns your iPhone or iPad into a visual sequencer where every note becomes a colored pixel on screen. No music theory required: tap, draw, and see the sounds. DRAW YOUR MUSIC Create beats by painting on a colorful grid. Each row is a note, each column is a moment in time. Tap to place notes, drag to draw melodies or chords, and watch your music come alive as patterns scroll across the screen. Music production that feels like a game. 4 TRACKS, INFINITE POSSIBILITIES Layer across four independent tracks: • Melody, expressive lead lines and hooks • Chords, rich harmonic backing • Bass, deep and driving low end • Rhythm, punchy drums and percussion Each track has its own color palette, so you can read a whole arrangement at a glance. 48 INSTRUMENT SOUNDS Sixteen sounds each for melody, chords and bass, from electric piano and glass pads to growling bass and bell leads. Hold a track's control column to audition and switch sounds while the loop keeps playing. EFFECTS YOU PLAY ON THE GRID Every track has its own effects column. Tap to switch between reverb and delay, compression and distortion, or a filter sweep, then slide to set the amount. No menus to dig through, and the column animates with what you hear. ALWAYS SOUNDS GOOD Pixelboop keeps you in key automatically. Choose major or minor and every note you place sounds musical. Note colors follow the circle of fifths, so harmonious notes look alike and clashing ones stand out. Interval modes let you explore different note relationships: • Pentatonic, classic 5-note scales that always work • Thirds, fourths and fifths, stack notes in musical intervals GESTURES THAT FEEL NATURAL • Tap an empty cell to place a note, tap the note again to erase it • Double-tap a note for an accent • Drag right to draw long, sustained notes • Move up and down as you drag across to build arpeggios • Hold a chord to cycle through the diatonic options ON IPAD The grid has no labels by design. On iPad, tap ? and it names itself: every control, every lane, and the note each row plays. Change key or scale and the names follow. It fades while you play and returns when you stop. EXPORT YOUR MUSIC (PIXELBOOP PRO) Bounce a finished jam to audio, export per-track stems to mix elsewhere, or send MIDI straight to your DAW. One purchase, no subscription, yours forever. SAVE, REPLAY AND SHARE JAMS Every session is saved as you play. Browse and reload any jam, set one as your starting template, or send it to a friend. Open a shared jam link and it loads straight into the grid. TEMPO AND TIMING Adjust BPM from ambient textures to driving dance beats. A visual playhead shows exactly where you are in the loop. Variable grid lengths plus 8 banks of 8 sections cover everything from a 4-bar loop to an extended arrangement. Loop one bank while you build it, or run the whole song. AUv3 PLUGIN Load Pixelboop inside AUM, Logic Pro or any Audio Unit host as a MIDI plugin. The same scale-locked grid becomes the brain of your studio, following your host's transport and tempo. MIDI AND HARDWARE Connect hardware synths and drum machines over USB or Bluetooth MIDI, with per-track send channels. Pixelboop also plays from an Erae Touch controller, with the grid mapped across its surface. DESIGNED FOR ACCESSIBILITY Pixelboop was created by a deaf musician who believes music should be visual first. The interface relies on color, position and visual feedback rather than requiring you to hear every nuance. Whether you are deaf, hard of hearing, or simply prefer a visual approach, Pixelboop meets you where you are. PERFECT FOR • Beginners who want to make music without learning theory • Producers looking for a fresh creative tool • Anyone who thinks visually and wants music to match • Educators teaching music through visual patterns • Deaf and hard of hearing musicians seeking accessible tools Music creation reimagined for the visual mind. Paint your first beat in seconds.

HexaChip is a ROM-free native chiptune tracker that lets you take an LSDj song to iPhone or iPad and keep creating. It keeps the familiar Song → Chain → Phrase workflow, then adds touch-first editing, a spacious iPad interface, synchronized multi-project playback, and practical file interchange. Open a track made on hardware, edit it away from your setup, send it back to an LSDj-compatible format, or finish it as a WAV. READ, EDIT, AND RE-EXPORT LSDj FILES • Import: .sav, .srm, .lsdsng, .LSDPRJ, and .saw • Export: .sav, .lsdsng, .LSDPRJ, and .saw • Preserve the original bytes when re-exporting an unchanged file to the same format • Protect unrecognized regions as raw data after editing • Preserve the Kit bank contained in an .LSDPRJ when re-exporting FOUR PROJECTS. SIXTEEN CHANNELS. Add up to four LSDj projects to one rack and play them with a shared BPM on the same audio-buffer boundary. Layer as many as 16 P1, P2, WAV, and NOI channels, then set gain and mute per project. Save the complete rack as a HexaChip project or render the combined result as a stereo WAV. THREE WAYS TO EDIT THE SAME PHRASE • Tracker: precise NOTE, INS, CMD, and VAL editing • Piano Roll: visual pitch and step entry • 16 Pads: step entry and performance Capture Every view edits the same 16 steps, so you can switch methods without translating your idea. Pattern Brush adds range copy and paste, transpose, reverse, rotate, and clear operations. NATIVE SOUND DESIGN Synthesize Pulse 1, Pulse 2, Wave, and Noise with HexaChip's original real-time audio engine. Edit Envelope, Duty, Length, Pan, Table, Groove, and 32-sample 4-bit Wave data. Choose Authentic, Clean, or Extended Fidelity, then shape the output with DMG, MGB, CGB, and AGB Hardware models. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Use a focused tab layout on iPhone or a sidebar and wider editors on iPad. The live playhead follows Song Row, Chain, Phrase, and Step, then leaves the last position visible after stopping. Your work is autosaved on device. EXPORT OPTIONS • HexaChip project: preserves the multi-project rack and mix • WAV: 48 kHz, 16-bit stereo PCM • LSDj-compatible files: .sav, .lsdsng, .LSDPRJ, and .saw COMPATIBILITY NOTES The Kit bank in an .LSDPRJ is preserved for re-export, but ROM-specific Kits are not decoded or played by the native sound engine. Complete reproduction of every LSDj version and command is not guaranteed. Keep an untouched backup of important files.
