iChanges vs Stochastic Lab

Master jazz harmony directly on your instrument. iChanges helps jazz musicians train chord tones, target notes and jazz changes through active playing instead of pure theory. Use your trumpet, saxophone, piano, guitar or any melodic instrument with real-time pitch detection, or practice silently with the built-in keyboard. Features: • Real-time pitch detection using your microphone • Built-in piano keyboard for silent practice • 15 chord types including Maj7, Min7, Dom7, Alt7, Half-Diminished and more • All 12 keys supported • Transposition for C, Bb, Eb, F and G instruments • Random practice mode • Song mode with MusicXML import • Adjustable tempo and chord duration • Practice chord tones, tensions and alterations • Select specific target notes or train randomly • Local progress tracking and statistics • 14-day learning history Whether you are learning your first ii-V-I progression or refining altered dominant vocabulary, iChanges provides focused, practical training designed for real musicians. No account required. No subscriptions. No ads.

Stochastic Lab is a generative composition tool built around the mathematical methods Iannis Xenakis used to compose: probability distributions, stochastic processes, and Markov chains, applied directly to sound. GENERATE • 6 generation modes: melody, rhythm, cluster, cloud, pointillistic, sequence • 6 probability distributions: uniform, Gaussian, exponential, Cauchy, Poisson, linear decay • Full control over density, register, tempo, block length, and Markov-driven contour • Choose a single orchestral section (strings, winds, brass) or let the generator blend all three • Pick exactly which percussion sounds are in play REAL INSTRUMENTS • Real sampled strings (high & low), winds, brass, and an 8-piece percussion kit — not synthesized approximations • Authentic short (pizzicato/staccato) and sustained articulations • Genuine glissando and tremolo, generated as part of the composition itself EDIT & PERFORM • Full piano roll editor: drag notes, edit pitch by semitone, adjust duration and velocity • A live recording keyboard to play your own material into any layer • Freeze a generated block into a fixed, fully editable sequence at any time SCORE • A live, Xenakis-style graphic score (particle-cloud visualization) for every layer • Expand any layer — or the full combined score — to fullscreen, with zoom and a moving playhead • Export the score itself as a printable, shareable image SEQUENCE & ARRANGE • Multi-layer Sequencer for building full compositions from generated or recorded material • Song mode for arranging multiple sections into a complete piece EXPORT • Export audio (WAV) and MIDI, mixed or as separate stems per layer, straight from the Generator, Sequencer, or Song view AUv3 PLUGIN • Stochastic Lab also runs as a real Audio Unit (AUv3) instrument inside GarageBand, Logic, AUM, and other hosts • The actual generative engine runs live inside your DAW — not a static sample player • A dedicated on-plugin control panel (mode, distribution, density, pitch range, tempo, and more), with a Preview button to audition before recording • Full MIDI recording support, including pitch bend and glissando THEORY • A built-in Theory section covering Xenakis's life and stochastic music concepts, with real-instrument audio examples for every distribution Stochastic Lab works entirely on-device — no account, no internet connection required, no data collected.
