Julienne 2 vs Scouter Synth

Julienne is a record you can cut. Load a sample and Julienne finds its tempo and its transients on its own. Chop it where you hear it, play the chops from the pads, spin and scratch the platter with your finger, and warp anything onto a grid without touching its pitch. Then take the whole session — chops, tempo and order — into wherever you finish tracks. CHOP • Tap the waveform to lay a chop; SNAP pulls it onto the nearest transient • Nudge, trim, reverse and rearrange — a pad is a slot, not a fixed chop • GATE, NOTE and NEEDLE decide what a pad does while you hold it • LOCK CHOPS keeps your chops in place while you play them PLAY • Drag the platter to spin, brake and scratch, with the weight of a real one • 33 and 45, varispeed, reverse • Time-stretch and warp to a grid with the pitch left alone STEMS • Split any song into drums, bass, vocals and other, right on your iPhone or iPad (iOS 16 or later) • Play while it splits; mute and solo stems on the deck, and chop and export what you hear EXPORT • Sampler projects, DAW sessions and plain WAV — the export sounds like the session, because both come out of the same engine • Add your chops straight into a project on your MPC Sample's card • Everything lands in Files, or goes straight out through the share sheet CRATES • Keep records in crates, and send them between your computer and your phone over Wi-Fi PLUGIN • Julienne runs as an Audio Unit (AUv3) inside AUM, Koala, Logic and other hosts, so the deck lives in your session MIDI • Play the pads and turn the controls from any MIDI controller, wired or Bluetooth • Learn any control by moving it FREE AND PRO Julienne is free to load, chop, play and run as a plugin. One purchase, once, unlocks stems, exporting and crates — and it follows your account onto every device you sign into, phone and computer alike.

ScouterSynth is a music tracker built like a handheld console. Eight tracks, a D-pad, two buttons, and no menus — every operation is a chord you can play with your thumbs. WRITE Phrases of sixteen rows, chains of phrases, and a song made of chains. Write a bassline once and place it four times with different transposes; change it later and every one of those places changes with it. Phrases can be shorter than sixteen rows, so six-eight is as easy as four-four. SOUND A synth voice per track — saw, pulse with PWM, triangle and sine, through a resonant filter and an envelope — or a sample, played whole or sliced. Wavetables for the sounds a plain oscillator cannot make. Per-tick tables for automation that runs faster than a row. SAMPLE Import from anywhere on your phone, or record straight into a slot from the microphone. MP3, AAC, M4A, AIFF and WAV are all converted on the way in. Whatever you choose is copied into your project, so a saved song carries its audio with it. MIX Ten lanes on one screen — eight tracks and two send buses — with level, pan, mute and solo, and three effect slots on each: filter, bitcrush and a tempo-synced delay. Watch the desk as a set of numbers or as ten live traces. PLAY A performance pad wires any two parameters to an X and a Y axis and moves every track at once. A grid of twelve pads holds six punch-in effects — an octave down, tape slow, a stutter, a bitcrush, a high pass and a low pass — held rather than latched, so nothing can be left on by accident, and six one-shot samples to fire over the top. SEE A radar sweep that reads the mix by frequency, a scope on the output, and six palettes to put it all in. INTEGRATE MIDI in and out with clock. A Bluetooth game controller, mapped button by button to whatever pad you own. Export the whole arrangement to a WAV. Songs, samples and exports all sit in the Files app where you can reach them. No accounts. No subscriptions. No network. The manual is inside the app — press SELECT and B on any screen.
