Melodic Sampler vs Sound With Bones

Turn any sound into something you can play. The Sampler is built for capturing, shaping, and performing sounds in a fast and direct way. Start by bringing in a sound - Record it, import it, or capture it in the moment. The app automatically detects slices and spreads them across pads, giving you an instant playable layout. It gives you control over how audio is sliced, mapped, and played, so you can turn raw material into something musical. Each slice can be adjusted, You can edit the timing, trim edges, and control how the sample behaves. This makes it easy to clean up recordings or reshape them into something new. The pad interface keeps everything simple. Tap to trigger sounds, build rhythms, and experiment freely. It’s designed for quick interaction, so ideas come together quickly. The Sampler also helps you easily create advanced rhythms - use note repeat to create rolls, patterns, and rhythmic variations in real time. Layer multiple samples to build depth and texture. Effects are built in. Shape your sound with tools like EQ, compression, delay, reverb, distortion, and more. Apply them directly and hear the result instantly. This lets you move from raw audio to a polished sound without leaving the app. Recording is part of the workflow. Capture your performance, layer ideas, and build something more complete over time. Each take can be refined and reused. Everything stays organized and ready to use. You can export your samples, recordings, or full ideas and move them into other tools or share them. The experience stays focused from start to finish - You bring in a sound, shape it, play it, and build on it. Key Features: • Automatic sample slicing and pad mapping • Record, import, and capture sounds instantly • Edit and refine each slice • Play sounds on an intuitive pad interface • Note repeat for rhythmic control • Layer samples to build depth • Built-in professional effects • Record and export your ideas Sampler works for beat making, sound design, and experimentation - It gives you a direct way to turn sound into music. You explore, listen & create - That’s the core idea behind Melodic Mind. Let music feel natural again.

Draw a structure you can play. Hear it sing, then record how you change it while it rings. Sound With Bones is a physical modeling instrument built from your drawings. A sketch becomes connected joints whose mass and stiffness shape the sound. Pluck a joint, cut a ringing connection, then repair it and hear the structure change. HEAR YOUR DRAWING SING Tap Listen and your drawing plays a whole song, tuned from its own resonances. Change the shape and the same song sounds new. Soft Geometry, an original, and Twinkle, Twinkle are free. SHAPE SOUND BY LISTENING Choose a brighter or less bright sound. The Workshop proposes small changes to a joint's mass or a connection's stiffness. Compare each edit with the same strike, reference pitch, duration and listening level. Keep a version or return to your original. CHANGE THE INSTRUMENT AS IT PLAYS In Workshop > Perform, record the strikes, cuts and repairs you play. Keep the take as editable actions on a beat timeline. Move an action, adjust the tempo and replay it from the drawing captured at the start. A cut changes the sound already ringing. You can also arrange actions by hand. With Plus, export the performance as WAV with its editable workshop. MAKE A FAMILY OF RELATED SOUNDS Create soft, firm, edge and broken variations from one drawing. Edit the strike location, force, softness and connection cut, and hear each one. With Plus, export named 24-bit stereo WAV files at 48 kHz together with the workshop, drawing and recipes. PLAY WITH TWO HANDS Hold one joint while another finger plucks the shape. Damp removes energy where that joint moves. Pin constrains the held joint and changes its resonances. Release it to hear the original structure again. LEARN BY LISTENING Predict what lighter joints will do, hear the natural resonance change, then try an unfamiliar drawing. Isolate one vibration mode or listen to local damping. Save your prediction, measured result and both sounds. Reopen the exact comparison even after changing your current drawing. These experiments use the same physical model as your instrument. BRING YOUR DRAWINGS INTO A MUSIC APP The included AUv3 instrument responds to MIDI notes, velocity and sustain in compatible hosts. Open an exported drawing or workshop in the plug-in. Its drawing is saved with the host project. KEEP YOUR WORK Save instruments, recordings and workshop versions locally. Share editable drawings and workshops through Files. Export recordings as M4A, or import supported audio into your library. Imported recordings remain audio clips; they do not become physical instruments. SOUND WITH BONES PLUS Drawing, playing, cutting, recording, saving, sharing, Workshop comparisons, performances, learning and the AUv3 instrument are free.
