(AUv3 MIDI extension requires iOS/iPadOS 17.0 minimum)

MAKE MUSICAL MACHINES! Link gears together to compose surprisingly complex rhythms and melodies. Runs as an AUv3 MIDI plugin in host apps like AUM and Logic Pro (for iPad), or as a standalone app so you can explore musical ideas on your iPhone or iPad whenever inspiration strikes!

THE CONCEPT

• Differently-sized gears define gear ratios, which produce polyrhythms.
• The connection angle between gears determines note pitch.

Use these simple principles to create generative compositions with a visually elegant user interface. Compose patterns that evolve over time, or perform live by changing and arranging gears on-the-fly.

FEATURES

• Set each gear's size, offset, velocity, duration, and MIDI channel.
• Store multiple snapshots of your composition and smoothly transition between them.
• Reposition groups of gears to transpose and re-harmonize multiple notes at the same time.
• Almost any aspect of a composition can be randomized.
• Control external software or hardware instruments when in standalone MIDI mode or as an AUv3 plugin.
• Synchronizes with your DAW's timeline to play in time with other tracks.
• Get started quickly with an onscreen tutorial and a bunch of factory presets.

SOUNDS Select from internal sounds such as a sampled grand piano, a Wurlitzer, and a vintage synthesizer.

Whether you want to create a live audio-visual performance, add a polyrhythmic layer to your project, or compose an ambient, meditative atmosphere, Phase Chimes will surprise you with something new every time you engage with it.
