Description
Rozeta is a suite of MIDI sequencers and controllers that lets you explore a new, freeform approach to sequencing and controlling mobile music apps.
The app contains 10 MIDI Audio Units (a totally new feature in iOS11) in a single package, which can be loaded in compatible MIDI AU hosts (AUM, Cubasis 2, ApeMatrix, Sequencism).
1) Rozeta Bassline: a monosequencer based on the popular Troublemaker sequencer. Obviously comes with all the randomization and mutation features. Up to 8 patterns per sequence, with Follow Actions. Transpose using MIDI.
2) Rozeta Rhythm: a euclidean drum sequencer with mutations per instrument and polyrhythms. Comes with configurable key mappings for many popular drum apps.
3) Rozeta X0X: classic TR-styles step sequencer for drum machines. Supports triplets, polyrhythms and mutations per channel. Optionally emulates the exact timing jitter pattern of the legendary TR-808
4) Rozeta LFO: a triple MIDI LFO generator lets you modulate CC parameters of your MIDI instruments. Apply amplitude modulation to each wave for more organic behavior. Optionally syncs to tempo.
5) Rozeta XY: a double XY Controller Pad for generating 4 simultaneous configurable CC controller streams per instance. Also features MOD wheel and PitchBend sliders.
6) Rozeta Arpeggio: adds a MIDI arpeggiator to any of your synths. Offers latch mode, shuffle and automatic tempo synchronization. Turn any incoming MIDI stream into an arpeggio on the fly.
7) Rozeta Particles: MIDI particle generator - generates a cloud of MIDI notes that create pseudo-random patterns when bounding off the walls.
8) Rozeta Cells: Polyphonic Step Recorder - record and play back polyphonic phrases and patterns.
9) Rozeta Collider: MIDI Hadron Collider - explore semi-repeating generative patterns and melodies.
10) Rozeta Scaler (NEW): MIDI Scale Quantizer and Transposer - tune incoming MIDI to a different scale, never play out of tune again.
Notes:
- these plugins do not run as a standalone app and require a compatible host to work
- MIDI is not sound. To make sound you'll have to feed the MIDI into a synthesizer or instrument app. Bring your own synths!
What’s New
Version 1.3.16
Added MIDI FX versions of all plugins for compatibility with Logic Pro on iPad.
These should now be the preferred plugin versions in all hosts.
(The older versions are marked "old" and may in time become deprecated, but no hurry)
Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant and innovative
This app suite is brilliant. It’s also a little bit disruptive, in the way that the best innovations can be. For example, I was initially using Navichord to send midi sequences to Rozeta Arpeggio, but this was a bit CPU intensive and was causing problems on iPad Pro 9.7; however, along now comes Rozeta Cells, which elegantly solves this problem (the developer is way ahead here!). I was initially a bit miffed that I needed to buy AUM to get this suite to work, as midi audio unit plugins are not widely supported yet. However, very glad I took the plunge. I think the app suite would benefit from a clearer “how to” guide, but this is not a big issue (easily outweighed by the usefulness of the suite for experimenting, improvising etc).
Very creative plugins
I bought this to use with Cubasis and it integrates really nicely with it. You can record the generated midi to the track but I prefer just to keep the plugins running as you can do realtime transpose, pattern switching and on some of them you can set random mutation percentages so they keep generating small variations. They are cleverly thought out and are quick to produce interesting results. Highly recommended.
What apps does this work with?
I thought that this was supposed to work in AUM but it doesn’t seem to. I can route midi out to another app but it does bugger all. I’m using an iPad Air 2 so is this only for use with an iPad Pro or something? I must say that I’m a bit annoyed as other midi apps are working.
Just an update (and slightly improved rating) as I’ve had more time to try this out. It’s still a bit confusing getting it to work in AUM, but I seem to be getting there eventually. I just wish it was a little more straightforward as I’ve been using midi controllers and software for some years now. This hasn’t put me off your other software by the way.
Developer Response ,
Hello, sorry you're experiencing problems. The app works flawlessly with AUM. Did you press the Play-button in AUM to actually start the sequencers? If you email me I can help you, which is usually more productive than just giving a 1-star review.
