Sampleson has introduced Twinkle, a virtual instrument for Mac & Windows that turns gestures into short, orchestrated musical phrases.
Twinkle is designed to create cinematic musical passages by just dragging your mouse. It generates short, fast, and decorative phrases — arpeggios, trills, runs, and sparkling bursts of notes.
Twinkle features 32 modes, each with its own unique set of ornaments. You can choose from a wide range of scales and root notes to craft the emotional tone of your gestures.
Features:
- Generate expressive musical ornaments with a single gesture.
- Interactive canvas for intuitive phrase creation.
- Two independently assignable scales and root notes.
- Full MIDI Out to control external instruments.
- Includes mockup instruments.
- Retina- and 4K-ready user interface.
- No musical knowledge required.
Pricing and Availability:
Twinkle is available now for $29 (normally $49).
It’s a pretty clever idea. Kind of expands on the whole MIDI strummer-strip, but with more complexity– and more randomness.
I think it will be interesting for less-experienced players to have a feeling of “agency” as they rub those strange notes and phrases out of nothingness.
Amaaaazing!!! ???
