Coil vs ChoirXML

Coil is a spring reverb built from the ground up around the thing that makes real spring tanks so good: they're physical. The springs stretch, resonate, build up energy, and get hit, and when you kick the tank, you hear it. There are no impulse responses inside Coil. The springs themselves are simulated while you play. Change the physics and you change the sound. TWO TANKS, TWO PERSONALITIES • LONG — big, slow, heavy springs. More depth, more wobble, more of that surf-era drip. • SHORT — tighter springs with a brighter, immediate response. Less wash, more snap. KRAANG! Hit the pedal and the springs respond with a burst of metallic chaos. Because they're physically simulated, what comes back depends on where the springs are in their motion when you land. Try it while the reverb is already ringing. It's ridiculous. It's also extremely useful. THREE KNOBS, NO MYSTERY • MIX — how much spring you want. • TONE — how fast the top end dies in the steel. Not an EQ: you're changing the behaviour of the spring itself. • DWELL — how long the springs keep moving. AND THE JEWEL Tap it and the whole thing goes through a measured amp stage — presence, grit and all. Nobody will tell you this is there. WORKS EVERYWHERE • AUv3 for GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM and any Audio Unit host • Standalone app — plug in and play, no DAW needed • MIDI learn on every control • One purchase: Mac, iPad and iPhone No giant metal tank. No springs to break. No road case. A spring you don't have to haul around.

ChoirXML reads printed choral scores and turns them into MusicXML – the file every common notation app can open. An old sheet, a scan or a photo becomes an editable score you can listen to, transpose, re-engrave or share with your choir. IMPORT • PDF or image from Files, a photo from your library, or scan with the camera • several pages into one song • pages are straightened automatically • choose the kind of score or let ChoirXML tell: choir, piano, choir with piano, instrumental RECOGNITION • staves, clefs, key and time signatures, including changes along the way • notes and rests down to sixteenths, dots, triplets, chords and several voices per staff • ties, slurs, fermatas, multi-bar rests and pickup bars • lyrics with several verses – even when printed once for all voices • dynamics (pp to ff), crescendo and diminuendo hairpins, accents, staccato, tenuto and breath marks • chord symbols above the notes • pale, grey photocopies too CHECK AND CORRECT Your original on top, the recognised music below – bar by bar in the same place. Only what was uncertain is marked in red, and ChoirXML asks exactly about it: Is the length right? Is the pitch right? Does this syllable belong to this note? A loupe shows that spot of the original. • tap a note to change pitch, length, accidental, voice or expression • delete single notes of a chord • insert missing notes for one voice or for both – also onto the stem of a note where the voice divides • insert missing bar lines, set or remove a pickup bar • confirm a voice that sings only a few notes of its own right where they stand • assign a syllable by tapping its note • set clefs, keys, time signatures, slurs, fermatas, final bars and repeats • undo and redo every change LISTEN Play back what was recognised before you share it: with a recorded grand piano and a choir sound, the singing voices as a choir or as a piano. The sounding notes light up, and you set the tempo. EXPORT MusicXML with all voices, verses, markings and chord symbols – with one staff per voice (soprano, alto, tenor, bass, each with its own sound and part in your notation app) or like a piano score on two staves. Save it to Files or share it straight to your notation app. PRIVATE Everything happens on your iPad. No account, no subscription, no ads, no data collection. Your music leaves the device only when you share it. GOOD TO KNOW Recognition works best with cleanly printed music. Handwriting, smudged copies or very dense scores need more corrections – ChoirXML shows you exactly where. Please respect the rights to the music you scan.
