PocketChop vs What About Phase?

PocketChop allows you to catch sounds and turn them into loops. Load a song (or record a sound), slice it into chops, and play them instantly on a 16-pad grid. Record patterns with a built-in sequencer, shape every pad with attack, release, filter and level, and add delay, reverb and pitch — all in a fast, focused interface designed for the way you actually make beats. Features: • Waveform chopping — drag to slice, pinch to zoom, up to 16 chops per sample • 24 velocity-fast pads with per-pad ADSR, low-pass filter, level, delay, reverb and pitch • Record your full mix to M4A, or capture raw audio with the built-in field recorder • Sessions — save your chops, patterns and settings and pick up where you left off • MIDI & Bluetooth connectivity: use your physical MIDI device to play • Scenes: save multiple sequences and chops from the same sample, choose the best • Export individual chops as audio files • Dark and light themes • Built natively for iPhone and iPad No account. No subscription. Audio stays on device.

Record a few seconds of anything — your voice, a clap, a passing train — and let the app pull it apart in time. What about phase? is a pocket instrument for process music: it loops your recording in two channels and lets them drift out of sync, so simple sounds grow into shifting, hypnotic patterns. Inspired by the tape-phasing experiments of 1960s minimalism, it makes the process itself audible — you set it in motion, then listen as it unfolds. TEN PROCESSES • Phasing — two copies of your loop, one drifting a few cents faster; hear them separate into echo, then canon • Gradual process — a ramp that grows louder and sweeps across the stereo field • Tape loop multiplication — your loop fanned into a detuned chorus • Rhythmic construction — a rhythm assembled hit by hit • Pattern substitution — beats replaced one at a time: silence, octaves, fifths • Resultant patterns — two interlocking rhythms revealing a third • Clapping Music — a pattern rotating against its fixed copy • Pulse / drone — a pulse grid over a deep foundation • Canon — staggered voices entering one after another • Speech melody — a syllable pulsed in speech rhythm and dynamics THE WHEEL A radial display shows what the process is doing: your loop's waveform — or the process's own pattern — wrapped around a circle, left channel in coral, right in cyan, a comet sweeping the playhead. In Phasing you can watch the two rings physically drift apart. Volume and pitch views included, with on-device pitch detection. MADE FOR EXPLORING • Ten built-in demo takes, one per process, playable from the very first launch • Every take saves with its process and settings; rename, share as WAV, revert • Takes named after where you record them (optional, location used only while in the app) • Live controls: drift in cents, process amount, tempo, sample offset • No account, no ads, no analytics — recordings never leave your device unless you share them Record something small. Let it become something long.
