Read full description

Motion Controller for OneShot2 turns your iPhone into a MIDI-device. It is designed for use with the drum sampler plugin OneShot2 for Mac, and specifically it’s new motion engine. Use your device to simulate a natural sounding percussion instrument. Motion Controller is a companion app for OneShot2 for Mac that generates a stream of MIDI signals to emulate shaking gestures - it turns your device to a highly realistic shaker / percussion instrument by using the accelerometer. Features: Supports a stable low latency MIDI connection via IDAM (cord), and is also compatible with Bluetooth MIDI. Looseness/Tightness calibration Pre-configured for OneShot2 presets Note: This app does not produce actual sound, it only transmits MIDI signals to a MIDI destination (for example a virtual software instrument). It is made for OneShot2, but can be used with any MIDI compatible instrument.

About

Augmatic GRE

Generate complex and evolving drum patterns using algorithmic and Euclidean engines. This app creates MIDI notes that require a separate sound source to produce audio, offering deep control over rhythm and dynamics.

Highlights
  • Algorithmic and Euclidean rhythm generation
  • Morphable Grids Engine for evolving beats
  • Blend control between pattern types
  • Linear drumming for articulate patterns
  • Velocity bender for expressive dynamics
  • Groove tools for swing and timing

MAIN FEATURES: - 6 Algorithmic Channels - Bass drum, snare, hi-hat, plus accents which create complementary rhythms, not duplicates. Each channel can generate its own rhythmic voice for rich, layered drum patterns. - Topographic Engine - Morphable, evolving beats based on the Mutable Instruments Eurorack module. Navigate an X/Y map of interconnected drum patterns extracted from actual drum loops with smooth interpolation between patterns. - Euclidean Engine - generate evenly distributed, world‑inspired rhythm patterns using Euclidean algorithms. Configure steps, hits, and start position independently on each channel for precise control. - Blend Control - Crossfade between Grids and Euclidean patterns to introduce variation while preserving the core character of your groove. - Linear Drumming - Control which drums play together or play alone. Eeach sound has room to breathe. Creates clean, articulate patterns. Used in Hip-Hop, IDM, Funk, Fusion. - Velocity Bender - Shape velocity dynamics for a more expressive, dynamic pulse. Create ghost notes, and rhythmic emphasis that bring patterns to life. - Groove Tools - Swing, humanization, clock division, and timing shift. Fine-tune the feel of your patterns from tight and mechanical to loose and human. IMPORTANT: This app does not produce sound on its own. It generates MIDI notes and requires a drum sampler or synthesizer to play them.
