Sound Cells app – Midi Clock Sync demo
Sound Cells is an interactive generative music app. Just touch the matrix to create some moving cells and see them interact with each other and generate sound in realtime. If a cell hits the wall, it creates a sound. If a cell ends up in the same location as another one, they change directions. You can remove cells by touching them or by hitting the cell removing button.
The app comes with the 2 different sounds, which can be controlled in realtime for very expressive effects.
Also the app can generate MIDI output, so you can hook up a midi capable instrument for endless possibilities.
On the newest version, it is possible to choose the scale that the app will use, the tempo and the key. This allows the app to be able to become a performance tool, where it can play along different musical settings.
This is a universal app and on the iPad, it will use the full available resolution for a rich visual experience.
This app is inspired by the web app Otomata at http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata, which also has a iOS version in the works, so make sure to keep an eye for it.

This is a demo of the new Midi Clock sync feature that I’ll be adding to it soon. In this video, the Drum Machine (Korg ER-1) is sending the clock signal to Sound Cells. In turn, Sound Cell, is sending midi note data to the DSI Tetr4 synth to make sound.
The app can be found in here:

16 improvisations using the Buchla Thunder MIDI-Controller on two Vermona PerFourMers. In the sixth piece (from 7:01) the Thunder plays seven internal sequences (“riffs”) I had recorded beforehand. They can be scaled in real time, which I didn’t do here though.

The Little MIDI Machine gets upgraded
Synthetic Bits has announced a major update to its free MIDI step sequencer for iOS, Little MIDI Machine.
Little MIDI Machine v2 was just submitted to the App Store and is not yet available. Here’s an overview of Little MIDI Machine v2 Features:
- Now a universal app, supports iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch
- CoreMIDI support, including network MIDI
- MIDI clock sync for both Line 6 and CoreMIDI, send and receive
- New random sequence mode
- Updated graphics/UI
- Still free
If you’re not familiar with Little MIDI Machine, it’s one of the more wicked freebies available for iOS musicians. It lets you create two independent sequences in classic step sequencing style:
- Sequences can be any length
- Sequences can run forwards or backwards, and can be ‘played’ in realtime
- Sequences can by synced to clock at three different rates
- Note length can be controlled for the entire sequence
- Sequences can control pitch and velocity
- Sequences can be directed to different MIDI channels
The new features should open up a lot of potential for the app, especially the ability to sync to other hardware or apps via CoreMIDI.
