Let the musical muses of Piano Motifs inspire your device to generate some original and beautiful motifs (short melodies).

New version 4.108
Old version 4.107
Release Notes • New Canon Accomp Style. When you choose this style, the accompaniment will follow the same notes of the melody delayed by one bar and one octave down. The resulting motif is a two voice canon. Please note that because the canon algorithm determines the notes in order to maintain the canon structure, some settings such as Programmed Chord Progressions and Melody Constraints may conflict with the canon rules and will be overridden.

Release Notes Lots of new things! Camera View, Song Map, Drawing, Gap Click, Recent Items, and more... Camera View: Displays your front facing camera above the notation so you can record yourself playing along. Access it from the Tools menu (top right of the notation page) under Capture & Output Song Map: What was previously "Track Markup" has been renamed to "Song Map". The Lead Sheet creation and Click Track creation workflow has been improved. Visit the What's New page to see the suggested workflow. Drawing: You can add hand drawn notes to Daily Journal entries, and you can add a "Blank Drawing" to any Preset from the Attach File menu (when long pressing a Preset). Gap Click: Choose Gap Click from the Add Preset menu to quickly create a custom gap click in any time signature. Muting Pattern: The old "Random Muting" has been replaced with "Mute Pattern" which adds options for "Read First", "Listen First", or "Custom Sequence" so you have more control over the muting. Recent Items: Added Recent Items to the Preset Tools menu and Recent Presets/Playlists to library ellipsis menus for quick access to recently played items. Fixes and improvements for Coverband Setlist and Song Click search. Improvements to the Song Map feature. Also reduced the initial app load time! Feedback & Support I love hearing from you—drop me a line at support@polynome.net with any feedback, issues, or suggestions. If PolyNome helps you groove, a rating or review on the App Store would mean the world. Joe

Continua is a three-oscillator / dual-filter six-voice virtual analog synth, with fully polyphonic modulation sources and built-in custom-designed effects, for everything from complex, evolving chill-out soundscapes to New Wave synth stabs.

New version 1.2
Old version 1.1.3
Release Notes Version 1.2 is a significant update. Four new oscillator modes join the original Virtual Analog engine. Additive synthesis stacks 64 sine waves with individual amplitude control over every harmonic. Supersaw layers five detuned sawtooths — the classic trance and electronic texture, done properly. Supersquare does the same with square waves for a darker, more hollow result. IXA combines phase modulation and waveshaping in a method borrowed from an obscure early-90s synthesizer, producing sounds that sit somewhere between FM and analog. The new Arpeggiator offers eighteen patterns including standard up/down, Converge, Diverge, Brownian motion, Skip Up/Down, and more. A Chance knob introduces probabilistic rests for rhythmic variation. Everything syncs to your host's tempo. The Genetics panel is a new way to find sounds you wouldn't have designed intentionally. Open it with any patch loaded, and Continua generates a branching tree of mutations — each node a subtly different version of your starting point. Click any node to hear it. Double-click to make it the new root and generate another generation of variations. Toggle which parameter categories can mutate — oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, effects — and follow the branches wherever they lead. The preset browser has been completely overhauled with a cleaner four-column layout, faster navigation, and improved import/export. General performance improvements and compatibility updates for current operating systems.

This shimmer effect is a combination of effects that creates an etherial wall of sound. The effect combines a digital delay and pitch shifter to create multiple harmonies before entering a rich long reverb with controllable filtering. The resulting effect is a monsterously huge sound adding a spacious atmospheric quality to any lead instrument or vocal.
