TinyRiff vs Sonaris

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.

How good is your musical ear? Find out – and train it a little better every day. Sonaris turns ear training into a game: short training sessions, real piano sound, and a score that shows how your ear develops. Whether you're learning an instrument, singing in a choir, producing music, or simply curious – this is where you train the skill that music is really about: listening closely. FOUR CHALLENGES, ONE GOAL • Order tones by pitch – Hear several tones and arrange them from high to low. Three difficulty levels, from beginner to pro level with quarter tones. • Interval training – Two tones play: how many semitones apart are they? The supreme discipline of ear training. • Absolute pitch – A tone plays, you find the key. On the piano keyboard or directly on the staff. • Find the error – A chord is shown, but the pianist plays one note wrong. Can you hear which one? THE HEARING SCORE Your progress in one number: the Hearing Score (0–1000) measures your skill across all challenges – not how much you play, but how well you hear. Rise from Beginner through Music Ear and Golden Ear to Absolute Pitch, and compare with friends and family. TRAIN SMART • Short sessions of 5 rounds – perfect for in between • Tiered hints when you get stuck • Per-challenge statistics show your progress over time • Real piano sound instead of sterile sine tones KIDS MODE A dedicated child-friendly mode with big symbols and simple comparison tasks – with parental gate and no personalized ads. 10 LANGUAGES English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic.
