ChordBud 2 AUv3 MIDI Sequencer vs Piano Motifs Usage & Stats

ChordBud 2 is a MIDI chord sequencer where you can create unique chord progressions very quickly. It has a very powerful music theory engine under the hood with +40 scales. You can select the scales you want to work with and see them from top to bottom on one screen. From left to right, you can see the chords inside those scales. You can either compare the scales or borrow chords (modal interchange) from each other! By default, it presents all the chords inside a scale for the key you are working with which you may change at any time. But in the settings menu, you can also select the chord progression you want to work with and you can see the chords in the progression. You can work with as many patterns as you want! You can set different keys, scales, and chord progressions for each pattern. You can copy/paste/delete them by long-pressing them. Patterns are triggerable with the MIDI CC messages. You can build automation or create a song mode with that powerful feature. You are not limited to just the triad chords! The powerful music theory engine lets you modify your chords with add/sus/6/7/9/11/13 and more chord mods! After adding a chord to your timeline, just tap it to present the chord editor. You may change the chord mode, velocity, octave, inversion, key, and division of the chord. You can make your edits while the sequencer is playing, so you can hear your changes immediately while you are working. In the timeline, you can move your chords to change their position. Also, you can drag them from their right edge to change their duration. You can pinch to zoom in or out in the timeline. If you want to position your chords more precisely, you can zoom in and work in the subdivisions. ChordBud 2 offers its core components for free on Github. You can fork them to create your own music app! The standalone app's MIDI layer is powered by the open-source AudioKit framework. https://github.com/cemolcay/MusicTheory https://github.com/cemolcay/MIDITimeTable https://github.com/cemolcay/MIDIEventKit https://github.com/audiokit/AudioKit Note: ChordBud 2 is a MIDI sequencer app. It does not produce sound itself. You need an audio app in order to get sound. Just route ChordBud 2's MIDI Out to your audio app's MIDI in and arm the sequencer.

Piano Motifs is the simplest way to generate your own music. • There are no preset melodies. Melodies are generated algorithmically. The melodic possibilities are endless. • Set the music tempo or select the key, scale, time signature, octave range, number of bars, melody constraints, melody note frequency and accompaniment style for your motif. • Option to generate Swing rhythm for the melody, either Shuffle or Hard Swing. • Program your own chord progressions and let Piano Motifs generate an accompaniment and melody for them. • Generation of a 3rd track with the option of it being a sustained chord per bar, sustained chord per multiple bars or a drone tone. Ideal for strings, choirs or pads. • Arrange your motifs to create longer musical pieces. • Choose from 24 different kinds of accompaniment styles. • Define your arpeggio accompaniments. • Choose from 13 different kinds of melody constraints. • Major, Minor, Lydian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Phrygian, Harmonic Minor and Phrygian Dominant scales supported. • Loop your motifs • Save your motifs as MIDI files so you can edit them or add more instrumentation to them on your favorite Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). • Many options when exporting a MIDI file or one MIDI file per track. When exporting a MIDI file, export with a third MIDI track with a sustained chord per bar, sustained chord per multiple bars or a drone tone (Ideal for synth pads, strings or chorus). • Share audio or MIDI through iMessages, e-mail, Whatsapp or AirDrop. Save audio, MIDI or .motif file to your device's file system. • AUv3 MIDI Plug-In In-App Purchase: Incorporate Piano Motifs seemlessly in your workflow by instantiating it once or multiple times in an app that can host AUv3 MIDI Plug-Ins, for example: AUM, AudioBus 3, ApeMatrix, Drambo or EG Nodes. Please note that Piano Motifs as an AUv3 MIDI Plug-In will not play any sound by itself, it generates MIDI that can be routed to other apps and effects instantiated in a host. IMPORTANT: GarageBand does not support MIDI only Plug-ins, so the AUv3 will not work in GarageBand. • AUv3 MIDI Plug-In features include: - Ability to play Piano Motifs in sync and out of sync with the host. - State saving functionality. - Independent programmable MIDI channels for melody, accompaniment, optional third track, and optional melody harmony track. - Interactive octave shifting for melody and accompaniment. - Controllable Melody and Accompaniment Velocity parameters. - Start Delay and BPM multiple with respect to the Host in Sync mode. • MIDI Out In-App Purchase: Play the music generated by Piano Motifs on your favorite synthesizer, DAW, a connect/route/mix app like AUM, or any app that has Virtual MIDI Destination (MIDI In) capabilities. IMPORTANT: Before purchasing please be aware that Piano Motifs DOES NOT OFFER Ableton Link functionality. • MIDI Out In-App Purchase features include: - Programmable delay for the start of a motif - Independent programmable MIDI channels for melody, accompaniment and an optional third track - MIDI Out settings are saved between Piano Motifs sessions • Piano Motifs chooses a music key from many different scales and an accompaniment from a varied set of accompaniments. Piano Motifs then uses its musical theory algorithms to overlay a melody in the chosen key and accompaniment. Piano Motifs are short, they go from around 16 seconds to around 30 seconds.
