Ensemble Jammer vs Midiary

Ensemble Jammer is a multiplayer music app where everyone plays in harmonic sync. Scale Navigator Dashboard sets the scale and chord. Ensemble Jammer follows it in real time. When the harmony changes, every instrument updates instantly. You don’t have to think about technique or theory, you can just play and never hit a wrong note! HOW IT WORKS • One person creates an ensemble in Scale Navigator Dashboard where they control harmonic state (ie current scale and chord) • Others join the ensemble from their phone or tablet via Ensemble Jammer and stay in sync with the harmonic state in real time • Changes are shared instantly • Every instrument updates in real time PLAY TOGETHER Each player can use the harmony in their own way. Some follow the chord. Some follow the scale. Some play melodies, others textures or rhythms. Everything stays aligned, even as each part moves differently. INSTRUMENTS A set of touch-based instruments designed to respond to the current harmony: • Touch Harp — swipe melodies and arpeggios • X/Y Lead — expressive synth control • Melody Maker — step sequencer that stays in key • Tanpura Drone — evolving harmonic texture • Venn Instrument — play chords through overlapping regions • Sample Sequencer — samples retune automatically • Sample Looper — loops shift with the harmony WHERE IT WORKS Play with people anywhere, or use it on your own. Coordinate multiple instruments from a single harmonic source, or share a link and play together in real time. It works for jam sessions, performances, teaching, or open-ended exploration. FEATURES • Real-time sync with Scale Navigator Dashboard • Instruments adapt to scale or chord automatically • Smooth transitions when harmony changes • BPM sync for sequencers • Works on iPhone and iPad • Free to use Part of the Scale Navigator system.

NEW IN 4.0 — GROOVE BENCH Extract the timing and velocity feel of a MIDI passage and apply it to another part. Save up to 64 local templates; choose independent timing and dynamics strengths, review the verified edit, compare original/edit audition and undo. Pitches and note durations stay intact. Empty reference cells leave target notes unchanged. PPQN files only; repeating cycles use quarter notes from file start, independently of time signature. Controllers and pedal events stay in place. Shape a MIDI performance while keeping its imported original intact. Midiary is an offline editor and inspector for Standard MIDI Files on iPhone and iPad. MAKE MUSICAL CORRECTIONS Select tracks and channels, transpose by semitones, adjust note velocity, or move note starts toward straight and triplet timing grids. Variable quantize strength keeps partial timing adjustments possible. Drum protection excludes channel 10 from batch edits. EDIT THE EXACT NOTE Search by pitch, filter the note list, and page through long files. Change a note's pitch, velocity, start tick and duration. Review actual changed-note counts, timing movement and velocity limiting before saving. Ambiguous note overlaps and unsafe edits are blocked with an explanation. KEEP THE ORIGINAL Imported MIDI bytes stay unchanged. Editing sessions save locally with undo and redo that survive closing the app. Restore the original as an undoable step. History keeps up to 20 edits within a 48 MB budget, with the imported original retained separately. Damaged sessions are preserved for recovery. LISTEN AND COMPARE Hear the original or edited take from the beginning using the same neutral studio tone, with play, pause, stop and seeking. Audition helps compare notes and timing; it does not reproduce an external instrument's programs, drum sounds or SysEx settings. Format 2 files are auditioned one independent sequence at a time. INSPECT THE FILE Explore track and channel summaries, note ranges, tempo changes, time and key signatures, markers, structural findings and a channel-colored piano roll. The event desk includes tick positions and seconds. Metrical and SMPTE timing are supported, including independent format 2 sequence clocks. EXPORT YOUR WORK Share the untouched original, edited MIDI, or event CSV. A separate cleaned export can add missing End-of-Track events and close hanging notes when the file can be safely normalized. Untouched text and SysEx payload bytes are preserved during musical edits. Start with your own .mid or .midi file, or use the bundled Nocturne sample and in-app guide. Imports support up to 8 MB, 1,024 tracks and 100,000 events. Playback runs in the foreground. No account, subscription, in-app purchase, advertising or tracking. MIDI files and editing sessions remain local unless you choose to export or share them. No microphone recording or external MIDI transmission.
