Metronomics is not only a metronome, but a tool designed to help build a solid sense of time and rhythmic security.  It's a new kind of metronome -- use Metronomics to generate random patterns, sequenced grooves, or a combination of both to help you practice with more than just your typical click track.

The WoodStepper is a sequencer having both audio and midi out.

New version 3.0
Old version 2.1
Release Notes Synthesizer mode : - Each sequencer can be switched to synth mode both for VCO sources and the sample loop sources. - The steps can then be used to have parameter automation along the bar(s) played. - The VCO synth can be set to para-polyphonic mode (sending notes 2&3 to VCO’s 2&3), which allows a maximum of 12 voices. - The global polyphonic mode (between the 4 sequencers/synths) allows a maximum of 4 full polyphonic voices. - Synth mode also works when the sequencer is not running (new Advanced setting). - New Start Sequencer mode : a midi note received in a specified range, starts the sequencer. - Each sequencer/synth can set the range of receiving notes (allows for up to 4 split keyboard regions). - Samples (synth and sequencer) have new play back modes : random start, random slice, random reverse. - Samples now have a "1 shot" setting (avoids repeating when the number of samples < step time in sequencer mode or holding the key in synth mode). - Samples can now be loaded from file (.wav, .aif, .caf, etc). - Sample files should be in the folder "samples" in the iCloud WoodStepper folder. - In sequencer mode an offset can be set to select a part of the file (when the file duration is larger than the step time). - Presets now have a “Made By” and comment field.

New version 5.0.4
Old version 5.0.3
Release Notes Welcome to MultiTrack 5! This update includes a huge number of features: AUv3 support for effects/instruments/generators with 2 window sizes, and presets support. MP3 export using Lame, with command line in Settings.app FFT with 7 coefficient Blackman Harris window in Parametric EQ screen, with decade lines. Complete UI overhaul, with better visibility, highlighting buttons, and dynamic resizing. Support for zooming tracks vertically. Track Header controls are resized and centered on the fly. VU Meters add segements and resize dynamically. Support for Slide Over / Split View on iPad (iOS 11 or better) Drag and drop from other apps / Files app. Drop multiple audio files directly onto tracks! With Snap Helpers while dragging. Regions/Tracks will be created if necessary, multiple dropped audio files line up vertically. Support for portrait mode on iPhone with up to 15 tracks visible simultaneously on iPhone in portrait, 22 on iPad, 24 on iPad Pro. Support for Emojis on track, song, audio, region, and folder names, in color. Reworked Song Menu, with folders, new icons for zips and audio files, animations, MultiTrack projects are now (.mtdaw) packages. Ability to drag audio/projects/folders and drop onto other folders, or hover over the folder to traverse into that folder, or hover over the Back button to traverse up the hierarchy, with animations. Ability to preview audio files from the song menu (opens shared browser with play/import buttons) WiFi web server reworked to look more like the song menu with better resizing. Ability to traverse folders from web interface. Added 'Springiness' to track scrolling, this solves the bug of not being able to adjust the start handle of a region at zero. Now, edit the region as normal, use one finger to pull the window right and another finger to access the region start handle. Added AU/IAA effects icons to tracks, these are untappable and indicate the current effects on the track. They mimic the AU/IAA effects panel and rearrange when effects are rearranged, with animations. This makes it easy to see the status of all your plugins at once, with loading indicators and error overlays. AU/IAA effects panel now has 'No-Clip' unity gain control with VU Meter. If a plugin is clipping, turn this control down. The signal will be automatically boosted by the inverse amount after the plugin return. 'Follow' menu option added, now the automatic following of the playhead can be disabled. Follow is now slightly more aggressive and will follow even when looping. Display of Beats/Time/Samples is now an optimized smearing number renderer (with glow). Song Menu remembers all song / audio / folder icon positions, and watches the current directory for changes in case a file is dropped from iTunes File Sharing, WiFi server or Drag&Drop. And MORE... 5.0.4 Bugfixes: Fix: backgrounding on older devices 5.0.3 Bugfixes: AU/IAA compatibility fixes 5.0.2 Bugfixes: iOS 13 compatibility updates. Fix: Chipmunk bug on frozen mono tracks without effects on mixdown. Fix: Folder renaming from the listbox no longer removes text after dot(.) in the folder name. Fix: Memory leak when closing songs with armed AU/IAA input plugins (generators/instruments). Fix: Projects over 16 tracks were hearing the underlying audio track when recording on a track. Fix: Better compatibility with AU/IAA plugins. 5.0.1 Bugfixes: Fixed song menu subicons for delete(X), zip, and rename box on 3x devices. Removed Bluetooth Low Energy, all bluetooth must now use A2DP due to poor sound quality. Set 'showsCloudItems' to NO in Music browser, music must be downloaded using the Music app before import. Fixed touch offset when dragging items and hovering over the Back button in song menu for devices with safety margins. Fixed placement of Input selector and AU/IAA effects panel and resized accordingly when rotating device. Fixed dynamic bubble placement for knob helpers. Fixed listbox content staying open when resized, content must close when resizing.

Dazibao is a polyphonic synthesizer programmed by an innovative interface : you create several tones, then you arrange them on several time lines.

New version 2.0.1
Old version 2.0
Release Notes Added a fifth patch mode called "Mix & Fade". (v. 2.0.1 : Fixed display of patch controls for this kind of patch) This mode will allow you to continuously mix five different sounds from five different timelines. Editing a mix&fade is very similar to editing a key patch. The only difference is that the timelines are selected by a slider (MIDI CC16) or by the joystick. Added a "Noise Control" in the effect page. This control helps modulating the oscillators with a noise generator : the frequency of the oscillators are randomised at every beginning of the wave cycle. This helps creating tuned noisy sounds like pan flutes or wood sounds with small modulations, and natural noises effects like storm or rain with stronger ones. This way, even if Dazibao does not include physical modelling synthesis, it can produce a part of the effects proposed by this kind of synthesiser. Added an independent control for the resonance of the filters. The triangle still controls the frequencies of the LPF and HPF, and also the level of the Noise Generator.
