Mouse On Mars Intros Fluxpad (Sneak Preview)

fluxpad

Mouse on Mars has introduced Fluxpad – a sample based groovebox/workstation with a unique approach to sequencing.

It’s developed by Mouse on Mars’ Andi Toma & Jan St. Werner, with developer Jan T V Falkenstein.

In Fluxpad you “paint“ in your music with your finger, which leads to completely different results than a traditional sequencer with piano rolls or step buttons.

The y-axis of the canvas controls pitch, while the x-axis controls the decay of your notes. You can choose to quantize your notes and whether you want to limit notes to major or minor scales.

Here’s a sneak preview, by Andi Toma:

Features:

  • 6 melody sequencers where you paint your melodies based on a sample of your choice
  • 1 percussion/drum sequencer where paint/tap your groove made of 7 samples of your choice
  • each sound has it’s own sampler settings with unique envelope, loop and start settings
  • quantize / unquantize functions for each sequencer or the whole pattern
  • combine 6 pattern to a longer piece of music
  • ability to record your own samples with the build in microphone
  • huge sample library with high quality sounds/kits made by Mouse on Mars and others
  • lots of demo projects made by Mouse and Mars and others
  • ability to sync via midi to other apps, hardware

Fluxpad is expected to go into beta testing soon, with a release planned for early 2016. The first version will be for iPad only.

  1. One of the worst demos ever. Those samples sound like feces. These people really ought to pay someone a few bucks to do a decent demo.

  2. Nice workflow! Not bothered by the samples in the demo, they are just samples.. but.. can I opt out of the ‘huge sample library’? I want to make my own samples.. and space is limited on any iPad (eventually). I hope it will cater to rhythms outside of 4/4 !
