Riffer Madness

Capture your instrument or voice as ideas come and explore how they fit together with an efficient beat first approach to audio clipping, arranging, and low latency mixing.

Explore: • The Library: filter, sort, manage, and preview all your creations • Recorder: capture audio with optional metronome clicks in headphones • Riff Editor: assign a BPM, adjust gain, and clip audio to exact beats • Composition Canvas: arrange Riffs and Compositions over beat lines

Concepts: • Riff: Clipped audio with configurable BPM and gain • Composition: Musical slots arranged on a 10 minute canvas of beat lines (Compositions can be nested within other Compositions) • Slot: either a Riff or a Composition

Features: • Playback with integrated metronome - preview as you work • Tools for metadata management - use tags to stay organized
