Elastic Melody for iPad – Feature Demo with K.O. Sidekick

video upload by Elastic Instruments

"Elastic Melody has just received a huge update, significantly expanding its sonic possibilities and sequencing capabilities!

In this performance, Elastic Melody runs on two iPads: the left iPad mainly provides the rhythms, while the right one plays the bassline. Both devices stay perfectly synchronized via Ableton Link.

Available as both a standalone app and an AUv3 plug-in for iOS and macOS, Elastic Melody features three channels of synthesized sounds, an analog-style step sequencer, and four master effects—making it easy to create evolving melodies, basslines, rhythms, and polyrhythms.

The Teenage Engineering K.O. Sidekick is a great choice for this setup. Here, it acts as both an audio interface and a performance mixer for live effects. Its tempo tracking keeps the effects synchronized with the performance.

In case you’re wondering: This video is not sponsored by Teenage Engineering. I bought the Sidekick myself—I’ve simply been having a lot of fun with it lately! ;)"

"The K.O. Sidekick is the perfect sparring partner for iOS devices! 🥊🥊
It’s so much fun to play with :)

In this video, the Sidekick serves as both an audio interface and a performance mixer for live effects [note the tape loop]. Elastic Melody runs on two iPads: the left iPad mainly provides the rhythms, while the right one plays the bassline. The two iPads stay in sync via Ableton Link, while the K.O. Sidekick uses tempo tracking to keep its effects in sync. Very cool!

"Elastic OSC, a Plaits-based macro-oscillator synthesizer, is finally coming to desktop. It’s one of the few synths available across all major platforms: macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android.

Elastic OSC is an 8-voice polyphonic macro-oscillator synthesizer based on the open-source code of Mutable Instruments Plaits.

Elastic OSC iOS MPE Update & Android Release

video upload by Elastic Instruments (Oliver Greschke)

"Elastic OSC 1.3 adds long-awaited MPE support to iOS.
Unlock expressive control and shape sounds with polyphonic aftertouch and per-note gestures.
Map Glide (X), Slide (Y), and Pressure (Z) to synthesis parameters and control them with external MPE controllers or the built-in keyboard (X and Y). As with any MPE instrument, all gestures work polyphonically, meaning each note can control parameters independently — for example different gains or timbres depending on the pressure applied to each key.

The Android version offers the same features as iOS — just at a much lower price!!

The update comes with more than 100 new presets by @JakobHaq , @redskylullaby , Nerk and others — lots to explore!
