ShedSpace is a practice room in your pocket: a metronome, a drone, and a drummer, all on one clock. Set a tempo and everything follows it. Start the drone under the click to work on intonation, or start the drummer and play along with a real kit at the tempo you need. A REAL DRUMMER, AT YOUR TEMPO Pocket plays grooves recorded for ShedSpace by a real drummer on a real kit. Rock, funk, pop, and latin feels, with more on the way. Each groove was recorded at several tempos, and the drums keep their pitch and feel wherever you set the ruler. Filter by style, mark favourites, and switch grooves while you play. A METRONOME THAT DOES THE WORK Tempo from 20 to 300, by ruler, keypad, or tap. Forty time signatures with the beat length honoured. Accents you tap per beat. Six subdivisions drawn as notation: quarter, eighths, triplets, shuffle, sixteenths, and sixteenth swing. A tempo ramp that raises the tempo every few bars. A gap trainer that drops the click for whole bars so you have to keep time yourself. A practice timer with a count-in. A DRONE IN ANY KEY A sustained note or chord in seven characters, from clean to organ. Single notes, fifths, triads, sevenths, sus chords, and more. Changes: cycle through keys automatically or play a chord progression on the shared clock, from built-in progressions or your own custom progressions. EVERYTHING TOGETHER One clock. Start any tool from any tab and the others fall in on the one. A mixer sets how loud each tool sits, and an output picker sends the sound to AirPlay or Bluetooth from inside the app. Plays in the background with lock screen controls. On iPad, a console layout puts all three tools on one screen. Presets and your own progressions sync through iCloud between iPhone, iPad, and Mac. TWO WAYS TO PAY Subscribe for a year at a time, or buy it once and keep it for good. Both include everything, and new grooves arrive as they are recorded. Try it free for seven days, with no card and no account. Terms of Use: https://shedspaceapp.com/mobile-terms/ Privacy Policy: https://shedspaceapp.com/mobile-privacy/

About

Harmonauta

Features
Read full description

Harmonauta is a music maker for songwriters that starts where songs actually start: with a feeling. Instead of scales, wheels and chord tables, you get a living galaxy of sixteen emotions. Tap Longing, add a little Joy, pull Serenity closer, and the Core hums the key it hears. Forge it, and Harmonauta lays out a chord progression that carries that feeling: the right mode, the right movement, the right extensions, voiced and played back so you can judge it by ear. Then keep shaping. FORGE A TONE • Blend up to four emotions and weight them by dragging them toward the Core • Progressions built from a library of emotional archetypes across seven modes • Depth control: Pure triads, Rich sevenths, or Lush ninths and colour tones • Feel control: hold, pulse, strum, picked or piano comping, plus tempo and key • Genre: Pop, Rock, Hip-hop, R&B, Electronic, Folk, Jazz, Lo-fi, Bossa nova, MPB, Reggae or Blues, or let the feeling decide • A melody line written over your chords, shown as a piano roll, rerollable • Reroll for another take on the same feeling HEAR IT PROPERLY • Ten instruments (pad, glass keys, pluck, electric piano, nylon guitar, crunch guitar, organ, bells, strings, flute) and three basses • Drums with sixteen grooves, from a soft pulse and bossa to boom bap, swing, samba, one drop, four on the floor and a blues shuffle • Bass lines that play a real part: a pedal under calm, lush chords, root and fifth, octaves when it gets loud, a walking line through the key; genres bring their own, from a blues boogie to samba and bossa • Five spaces from dry to cathedral and plate • Binaural beat for headphones: a quiet tone in each ear around the key note, pulsing in time with the song • The screen stays awake while anything is playing • Auto picks all of it from the feeling or the genre; override anything in the Sound sheet RESHAPE ANY CHORD • Shards: smart substitutions for every chord, from relative minors and mediants to secondary dominants, tritone subs and borrowed colour • Change chord lengths, add and remove chords • See the guitar shape for every chord, with alternatives one tap away GROW IT INTO A SONG • The Journey builds an intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge and outro from your seed • Tint any section with a different feeling and Harmonauta rewrites its harmony to match • Reorder, duplicate, repeat and regenerate sections • Play the whole arrangement end to end; the trail scrolls itself to the section being played TAKE IT WITH YOU • Guitar sheet PDF: chord diagrams above every bar, fingerings, barres, positions • MIDI export for any tone or full song with chord, bass line, melody and drum tracks, ready for your DAW • Copy a chord sheet as text • A library that remembers every tone and song with its mood Harmonauta is built for songwriters, composers, producers and anyone who has a feeling before they have a chord. It runs entirely on your device, with no account and no internet required.
