Volotic is an experimental nonlinear sequencer by artist Scott Garner. What does that even mean? It means a fun way to create songs for everyone, with no musical experience required. In Volotic, you compose a song by arranging a selection of "towers" on a grid. Each tower has a different function for creating beats, modifying beats or triggering instruments. Here are some points with bullets next to them: • Over fifty tower types with more on the way. • A selection of demo compositions to get you started. • No musical experience is required, preset scales and arpeggios keep things sounding nice. • Manual tuning for advanced control. • 3D sound—drag your music to focus on different sections. • Easily record and share your composition with Everyplay. • Tons of new towers and handy features in Plus Mode. Volotic was selected for inclusion in the App Store Best of 2015. Neat!
