Attack Drums vs Topline Songwriting

Attack Drums is a synthesizer designed mainly for drum sounds, but the powerful sound engine can also be used for everything else - including vocals. Based on the Waldorf Attack VST PlugIn from 2001, it consists of a 24-part sound engine, now packed with a pattern sequencer and a versatile effects section. One highlight of the effects section is the new Phrase Vocoder, a vocoder that uses written text instead of spoken words. Lyrics in - song out, adjust gender as you have always wanted! Just like Waldorf Nave, Attack Drums is a seriously in-depth musical instrument - easy and fun to use, but a sonic beast at its core!

Topline is a voice memo app built for songwriting. Hum a melody, sing a line, or strum an idea, and it is saved the moment you stop. When you want more than a bare recording, attach a chord progression or a backing track and record over it. RECORD FIRST • One big record button, always within reach of your thumb • Full-bandwidth audio so vocals and guitar sound like they did in the room • Start a recording hands-free with Siri while you are driving or playing LYRICS THAT WRITE THEMSELVES • Recordings are transcribed automatically into searchable lyrics • Fix a misheard word with a tap, or swap it for a rhyme or synonym • Search every recording by title or by any line you sang AN OPTIONAL MUSIC LAYER • Build a backing progression from the chords in your key, shown with Nashville numbers • Piano or Rhodes voicings, drone, metronome, tempo, and time signature • Import your own backing track and set where it starts • Engage or silence the chords and the backing independently for the next take MADE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY • Recordings and lyrics live on your device • Light, dark, or follow the system • Share a take as an audio file from anywhere in the app Topline is for the first two minutes of a song: the part where you need to get it down before it disappears.
