Heathcliff Pro
Read full descriptionHide full description
Heathcliff Pro turns any iOS host into a DJ channel strip. Cut, mix, and blend one track into the next — without thinking about the right preset. Heathcliff Pro isn't your parametric EQ; it's the channel strip for transitions. Heathcliff Pro is built for low latency — aggressive performance targets keep it out of the way when you're playing live, and multiple instances won't tax your CPU. The tuning takes its cue from leading DJ mixers, with user-selectable character profiles so you can match the feel to your mixing style. * 3- or 4-band EQ — five character profiles from clean-cut to bleeding character * FX: Filter, Echo, Reverb, and Redux — switchable FX * Trim and volume — set the gain so the blend sits right * Character profiles — voicing presets for EQ, filter, and FX, matched to your mixing style * MIDI learn — supports legacy and modern 14-bit MIDI controllers (most modern DJ controllers are 14-bit). Map UI controls to your hardware; a DJ controller is the recommended way to play. * Low latency — plays live, stacks across multiple instances * AUv3 — works in any AUv3 host Note: Heathcliff Pro is an AUv3 plugin, not a standalone DJ app. The app runs inside a plugin host app like GarageBand, AUM, or Cubasis. Your DAW, your DJ moves. That's Heathcliff!

Wind Chimes is a generative MIDI instrument built around a physically simulated row of wind chimes. A simulated wind field sways the chimes, and when two collide, the struck one fires a MIDI note. Play it by hand, or let the wind play on its own. REAL WIND, REAL COLLISIONS • Up to 16 chimes hang in a graduated row • Chimes ring by knocking into each other, not a clapper • Tap, hold, or drag any chime to play it by hand • Gusts sweep across the row instead of hitting all at once CUSTOMIZE EVERY CHIME • Choose anywhere from 2 to 16 chimes • Spread the row from tightly packed to wide open • Length and Weight shape each chime's swing and reach • Go full screen for a bigger, more zen performance A GENERATIVE MIDI PLAYGROUND • Every chime's note comes from the current key and scale • Turn any chime's note off, or reassign it freely • Every chime's real swing angle can drive generative CC modulation • Up to 16 chimes across up to 16 channels, endless generative variety MAKE IT YOURS • Pick from a set of beautifully designed visual themes • Switch between Free timing and a quantized grid • New Wind reseeds the sequence, keeping every setting the same • Randomize rolls a brand-new layout, tuning, and wind in one tap BUILT FOR AUV3 HOSTS • Runs as a full AUv3 MIDI Generator in any compatible host • Automate every wind and tuning parameter from the host • MIDI timing is sample-accurate, synced to the host's own tempo • Presets sync over iCloud across devices, the app, and AUv3 Play standalone with a built-in sampler for instant sound, or load Wind Chimes as a silent-audio AUv3 MIDI Generator and route it into any instrument you like.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Wind Chimes at every 3 days against Heathcliff Pro's every 4 weeks. Wind Chimes also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Heathcliff Pro's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
