FEATURES
PolyHarp's main features are:
- PolyHarp runs on iPad only. It's too big for an iPhone, even a big iPhone!
- Plays synthesized audio, as well as MIDI. The synthesized chords can be made of any musical intervals, not just those in a 12EDO scale. MIDI uses only tones from 12EDO (rounding whatever the actual pitch may be).
- "Strings" on the PolyHarp correspond to the strings of the chords.
- Any chord setup as whole can be transposed.
- You can make up PolyHarps with a great number of Chords. The intervals used in these chords can be chosen in many ways, and also taken from the huge number of scales in the Scala collection.
- A Chord Bar is a collection of intervals which themselves are transposed by a relative interval, which is resolved relative to a Base Key.
- You can layout the Chord Buttons (which control the Chord Bars) all over the screen.
- Strings are resolved within an adjustable frequency range.
- You can have several discontinuous ranges of string areas.
- A chord can treat strings like a fretted instrument, assigning several pitches to the same string.
- Stringed instruments with more than one string per course can also be built, with up to 7 strings per course, with random or non-random variations on the intended pitch.
- You can assign MIDI note-ons and controls to the chord buttons and use an external controller to "push" them
- Uses Audiobus 3.0 and IAA!
- Works with Audiobus Remote to put many chord buttons onteh Remote panel.
