Holon vs Mixet Usage & Stats
Holon makes the city your instrument. It turns your movement in the environment into a synthetic, interactive score that reflects your context, supports your activities and alerts you to changes in the surrounding area.
Holon uses physical computing and a geospatial dataset to synthesize music on the iPhone in real time from your data - no streaming or AI involved, just pure DSP and logic.
What Holon Does:
* Human powered music. Every action generates dynamic, improvised synth music in real time.
* Encourages outdoor activities. Holon doesn’t work in your apartment or by shaking your phone around. Move through streets, parks, and transit systems to make the music happen.
* Stays out of your way. Zero UI means less screen time, no distractions.
* Uses places and spaces to modify the music you make. The environment isn’t background - it’s the score.
* The more and further you move, the more things happen in the music. Use your musical agency instead of skipping and swiping.
Why Holon Exists:
Music has been reduced to a commodity and a background activity for consumerism. Holon isn’t here to help you chill when you swipe, scroll and buy more stuff, or improve your focus when working for the Man.
Holon is here to break away from the static, one-way relationship of streaming services and to put the human in the loop - yourself. Forget emoting celebrities with their false sincerity, throw overproduced passive soundscapes and statistical algorithms on the dung heap of history. Holon turns listeners into performers and unlocks the musical potential of places.
How to Use:
* Go outside - Holon needs space to function, just like you. Different districts, parks, bridges, shops, street furniture - all contribute to the musical output. Strolling around your apartment or shaking your phone won’t do.
* Put the phone in your pocket or on your dashboard.
* Walk, run, drive - the world is now the interface, space is the machine.
* Use the big button in the middle to power Holon off when not in use - Auditory AR can be a battery-intensive process!
* Optional Apple AirPods support for head-controlled musical interactions!
* Optional Apple Watch support for heart rate-synced music (biofeedback) *the Watch app may take a moment to install*
Requirements:
* Available in over 1000 regions in more than 100 countries.
* Check coverage or request a new area at holonic.systems/holon.
* Best experienced with headphones. Ensure adequate battery level for extended use.
* A data plan is required to access our geospatial engine but use of data is low.

Mixet is a multichannel setlist player for bands or solo musicians wishing to preprogram their show with presets and tempos as well as supplement the live performance with prerecorded backing tracks.
Many musicians, same as I do, play in a band where other members (bassists and drummers mostly) may miss rehearsals, or you may play a show in a small venue or an art opening where drums are impossible. Or maybe you are the drummer and need to practice at home like you're with the band. Backing tracks are a great solution, but the standard player is not enough. We need to control the way the next song progresses. We may need a metronome, countdown, and pushing the tempo to all our plug-ins and other band members. We may need to send tracks to specific audio interface outputs to recreate the presence of the missing member. Sending a bass track to a bass amp makes a significant difference compared to mixed stereo on portals. And most importantly, when we are using digital plugins in other apps like AUM, we need a simple way to load presets for each song.
With Mixet it's all possible with one gesture on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No accounts, no uploads. It's focused on simplicity and usability.
MAIN APP FEATURES
• Sets – songs – tracks. Organize your songs in sets, add tracks to songs, and send any track to any audio interface output or virtual bus.
• Buses and hardware audio outputs. Create buses to audio channels; change bus settings to apply them for all tracks assigned to that bus.
• Virtual MIDI messaging. Manage behaviour of MIDI controlled apps when you select or play song in Mixet. Load presets or adjust parameters.
• Metronome and countdown with audio sample rate accuracy
• Ableton Link integration to push the tempo to all your plug-ins and bandmates
• Visualizer reflecting song dynamics
• Open from Files, GarageBand, or other audio apps
• Click tracks for practicing
• Large play button; never miss it in the show rush
• One touch to change a song — unique picker navigation
• Control auto-rewind, auto-progress, count down, repeat, and more
• Control the options on the setlists or particular song levels
• Universal design optimized to all orientations and device sizes
• Remote control on Apple Watch and lock screen
• Widget to see the most important status on your Home Screen or Notification Center
• Prevent from sleeping options
• No accounts, no uploads - your tracks are yours.
VIRTUAL MIDI MESSAGING
You can use Mixet to send MIDI messages to other apps. That lets you control what other apps do when a song gets selected or played in Mixet. For example, in the AUM app, you can load sessions with presets, toggle effects, or change parameters. To set that up, connect Mixet as a virtual source in your other MIDI-controlling app and choose what Mixet MIDI command should trigger.
ABLETON LINK INTEGRATION
- Auto-push tempo
Mixet uses Ableton Link technology to push the playing song tempo to the jam. You can enable the Automatic Push feature to push the song tempo automatically to the jam once you start the playback. Note, Mixet does not update tempo when peers change it.
That is a great way to synchronize the tempo of your effects, like delays and vibrato, to match your prerecorded backing tracks and keep the program for your concert.
- Start / Stop sync
You can enable the Start / Stop sync in Ableton Link settings (the link icon in the Sets view) so all jam links supporting this feature will start playing along with Mixet. You can disable the Stop sync to ensure that no peer can interrupt your show accidentally.
EXTRA SYNC OPTIONS
- Start-only sync
Start all peers altogether then stop one of the peers while keeping Mixet playing.
- When to push
Specify when you want to push the tempo to the jam on the song selection or on hitting the Play button.
