Developer Benoit Fracheboud has introduced Arix 303 – a free matrix synth for iPad.
Featuring:
If you’re interested in a deeper matrix synth, two options to consider are Yamaha’s iPad Tenori On, TNR-i, and 4Pockets’ Aurora matrix synthesizer.
Free Music Software: WOK has introduced Blip1000, a free matrix step sequencer instrument for Windows.
Blip1000 is inspired by matrix synths for the iPad and hardware like the Bliptronic 5000, which were derived from software like ToneMatrix, which was inspired by devices like the monome and the Tenori On….
Here’s what the developer has to say about Blip1000:
Got a windows touchscreen computer and miss these cool apps like on the iPad?
Now you can generate MIDI sequences with a touch of your finger. Also great for controllers like Novations launchpad (together with Automap).
Blip1000 is a MIDI sequencer VST plugin. It plays mono- or polyphonic sequences depending on the selected notes and the enabled trigger buttons. Host sync with different speeds, swing, several play direction modes and MIDI controller learn ? try it for free and start making music now!
