PolyPhase - Generative Sequencer (iOS)

Some apps only have a simple “Clock In” toggle, like Ruismaker FM. This means it will listen to all clock ticks from all external Ports when enabled, or nothing at all when disabled. I prefer allowing the user to specify the exact Port it’s working with. Either way, if you get double ticks in any other apps, this might be the case!

This is a brilliant piece of software, my new favorite thing. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. Here’s a composition I made this morning:

I’ll have to check out the Aparillo synth, some good sounds there!

Hey Marcos, is there a way to sync the AUM transport controls to PolyPhase? So, PolyPhase starts when AUM starts? I feel like I am just missing something, thanks!

You need to use AUM as the clock.

  • Disable PolyPhase Clock generation, and make sure “PolyPhase” is still selected for Clock Receive
  • In AUM under Clock options, enable Send MIDI Clock and select PolyPhase

Now PolyPhase will receive Transport / Clock from AUM

Redacted…User error.

I’m not sure what the issue is, I don’t see that behavior.

Is this the first time updating since the open beta? At some point the file structure for Presets changed.

Under the main options menu do you have “Load Steps With Snaps” turned on?

Ah, loading steps with snaps did it (doh). Thanks for the help.

This looks like it could be an ideal partner with the Digitone for generative ideas.

Is it compatible with the iPad 2?

The minimum iOS requirements is iOS10. I don’t think that the iPad2 support that ;[

Hi, recently purchased Polyphase and found it pretty cool. I just wanted to ask what is the Midi In connection intended for?

For example : i was expected to be able to select the main note to be used for the current scale from my midi keyboard. Is it possible? or could it be a new added feature?

Thanks

To externally control any of the Track’s parameters, the Note Filter, etc (Click the upper left gear icon in the MIDI menu to see all of the mappable parameters and functions)…There is no concept of a main note, just a Key / Scale and transposition, which can all be controlled externally. You could even self-sequence these “external” parameters in the Track’s Advanced Options…in this case, the normal note sequence for each Track will also send out an internal CC which can be mapped to anything.

Hi!

Quick question - it seems like the master track percentage affects the chance of track 2 following the master. If I set master chance to 0 and track 2 to 100, no new notes are added to track 2. Is this right?
