Press release follows:

Wizdom Music Announces the Release of GeoShred 7 Including GeoShred Studio For Mac Desktop Machines

GeoShred is a new kind of musical instrument, offering fluid expressiveness using a performance surface with "Almost Magic" pitch rounding. This unique performance interface combined with physics-based models of effects and musical instruments, is a powerful tool for musicians. Originally designed for iOS/iPadOS devices, GeoShred is now available as an AUv3 plug-in for desktop DAWs.

"GeoShred has always been about pushing the boundaries of musical expression, and with the introduction of GeoShred Studio as an AUv3 plug-in for macOS, we’re bringing that vision to a whole new audience." - Jordan Rudess President Wizdom Music.

Performers can establish a MIDI/MPE connection between GeoShred on an iOS/iPadOS device and GeoShred Studio on the Mac using GeoShredConnect. This makes it possible to use GeoShred's expressive multi-dimensional control for desktop production workflows. Further, iCloud integration ensures that preset edits are synchronized between the iOS/iPadOS and macOS versions of GeoShred.

Equipped with a built-in guitar physical model and 22 modeled effects, GeoShred Studio offers an impressive array of sonic possibilities. And for those looking to expand their musical palette, an additional 33 physically modeled instruments from around the globe are available as in-app purchases (IAPs). These instruments range from guitars and bowed strings to woodwinds, brass, and traditional Indian and Chinese instruments.

GeoShred Studio is best performed expressively using GeoShred's isomorphic keyboard. For users who don’t own the GeoShred for iOS/iPadOS, the free GeoShred Control MPE controller (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/geoshred-control/id1336247116) is available for use with GeoShred Studio. GeoShred Studio is also compatible with MPE controllers, conventional MIDI controllers, and even breath controllers, offering a wide range of performance options.

GeoShred Studio is free to download, but core functionality requires the purchase of GeoShred Studio Essentials, which includes distinct instruments separate from those in the iOS/iPadOS app, and iOS/iPadOS purchases do not transfer.

Works with MacOS Catalina or greater.

GeoShred, unleash your musical potential!

In celebration of the GeoShred 7 release, we are offering a 25% discount on all iOS/iPadOS and MacOS products, valid until October 10, 2024. Pricing table at moforte.com/pricing

factory preset demo video upload by levitated

"Blip Box is a 16 voice drum synth that can be used as a standalone app or an AUv3 plug-in. Here I've loaded an instance of Octachron as a MIDI trigger (using it's built-in Blip Box preset), and created a random sequence to run though Blip Box's factory presets. Both are hosted in AUM, but you could use Logic or another host if you prefer.

Holon - Multimodal Mobile Music

Holon.ist x Orbit Princess

video upload by Holonic Systems

"The free iPhone app Holon generates synth music in real-time on your device, adapting the sounds to your environment, speed and direction. Holon now supports Apple Watch for even more personalised interactive scores!

Sync the music with your heart rate and try the 10 different compositions included - powered by miRack!

Holon lets you perform improvised electronic music by moving spatially between different locations.

Holon uses iPhone sensors and a GIS data from the Holonic geospatial backend to generate music in real-time based on user movements and environmental context. Holon is a passive, zero-UI app that turns the physical world into an instrument, promoting immersive, embodied interaction that effectively turns audiences into performers.

- Holon also modifies the intensity of the music by reacting to places and certain objects tagged in GIS systems; parks and water features lower the intensity, while transit and retail zones increase intensity. Industrial areas increase musical tension and distortion, alerting to the possibility of danger while also providing sound masking.

- Holon synchronises the tempo of the music with your activity: BPM is calculated from speed when in a vehicle, from step rate when walking, from heart rate if stationary and wearing an Apple Watch.

- For even further musical embodiment, Apple AirPods 3/Pro/Max can be used as head tracking controllers that add fills and modulation to the music. Set them to transparency mode for improved situational awareness and natural acoustic blending.

- For Holon’s GPS features to work correctly, you'll need to be outdoors, in one of the over 1000 supported regions. See coverage and request yours at www.holonic.systems/holon

Holon is a free demo of the Holonic platform for musical mobility. It is based on theories of affective design, physical computing, human geography, music psychology and urban musicology. Holon is available at the Apple AppStore"

New FuncBud Generative MIDI Sequencer for iOS or Apple Silicon

via the developer Cem Olcay:

"I’ve released my new generative sequencer app today - FuncBud. It’s a unique and fun sequencer that uses simple math functions to generate patterns. You can create your own math functions with the function builder. It’s really fun to explore the possibilities, especially if you are interested in math."

Additional details via http://keybudapp.com/funcbud & the AppStore follow.

Make music with math!

Welcome to FuncBud, the generative sequencer that uses simple math functions to create patterns.

Create, chain, and repeat simple math functions to create complex sequences.

A simple x + 1 function would sequence all the notes in the scale in order.

But it gets more interesting when you use different formulas and chain them.


Build your math functions

The function builder lets you create functions using simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations, as well as square, square root, sum, and product operations.

You can also use parentheses to prioritize the calculation order.

The newly created function will be saved and accessible in the library across both the standalone app and AUv3 instances.

Function results are saved to the history. Sum and product operations utilize the history to perform calculations on up to 64 values.

∑3 would sum up the last 3 results, ∏3 would take product of the last 3 results.

Define your limits

FuncBud's sequencer generates the notes in the working key and scale, within the defined minimum and maximum octaves.

Min/max octave, key, scale and the root note can be defined on the top of the UI.

The sequencer rate, gate length, gate variety, velocity, velocity variety, and swing parameters can be defined using the slider at the bottom of the UI.

The loop detector can be enabled in the settings menu if you get stuck in a loop due to the nature of the math and want to break it.

Functions can be muted by swiping them to the left, and deleted by swiping them to the right.

Take advantage of the AUv3 Plugin

FuncBud app operates both as a standalone application and as an AUv3 MIDI Plugin.

You can create AU presets and use AU parameters of the AUv3 plugin.

You can control the patterns and all other parameters with AU parameters.

You can also change the parameters or change the patterns with PatternBud."

FuncBud is available in the AppStore here.

What is Salome?

video upload by Bram Bos

"A quick look at Salome:
- what does it do?
- how to use it?

Salome is a sampling gadget for quickly capturing (or importing) any snippet of sound, creating seamless loops out of it, and playing it polyphonically using MPE, MIDI or the onscreen controls.

I made Salome, because I needed something that would allow me to easily create seamlessly looping soundscapes, without the need to use sound editing applications. Salome allows you to do all of this within your host/DAW, in mere seconds.

The onscreen play-controls provide basic (but expressive) tools for performing soundscapes and ambient pieces. Obviously, you can also use any other MPE/MIDI controller - hardware or software to play Salome.

Plugins for iOS and MacOS (ARM and Intel) are included, so you can move projects from your mobile device to your laptop, and vice-versa."
