Eggface Music Land vs Pulse16

EGGFACE is a fun and unusual way to make music. It's made for kids and adults and is a visual way to understand music creation in a 3d world. Eggface is the conductor and you place notes on his staff and Eggface plays your song. Every pad is a beat, every creature is a sound, and what you build is real music: it shows up as sheet music you can read, and it plays back the way you wrote it. MAKE MUSIC • Carry notes and drums onto the stage; chords form when notes stand together • Eggface hops along the beat and plays what he lands on • Change how a note sounds at the Sound Lab: Jelly, Pluck, Bass, Organ, Bell, and four knobs • Build a whole song at the Score: save measures and put them in order, then watch the crowd gather THE MACHINE • A drum-machine view of the same bar: 16 steps, four rows, a moving playhead • Sheet music that follows every change, with rests, ties, sharps and flats • Record mode: tap along with the beat and it lands in the bar • Swing, accents, a bass row, keys, 4/4 and 3/4, one- or two-bar patterns LESSONS • Short lessons with Eggface: the beat, the backbeat, chords, reading notes on the staff, note lengths, tempo, swing, sixteenths, song form, inversions, and more • Every lesson is a real bar of music you finish yourself RECORD YOUR OWN SOUNDS • The recording booth turns a clap, a word or a pot lid into a new creature • Use it as a drum, or play it as notes SHARE • Send a song to another phone as an Eggface song file, sounds included • Export MIDI, audio (WAV), your recorded sounds, and sheet music as PDF Comes with a few songs to get started! Straightforward app. No accounts, no ads, nothing online. You can send your midi songs to your computer through airdrop and then use them in your favorite program there!
