TvanD has released version 1.1 of Changeling Sequencer – the diatonic chord sequencer for the iPad. The update includes tracks. You now have 16 tracks (one for each MIDI channel), quantization, MIDI File export, support for custom SoundFonts, and more!

Tracks Overview:

• 16 – one for each midi channel
• All parameters for each track in a sequence are saved & recalled
• Lock scales and root notes per track, independently (longpress gesture)
• Cycle through tracks by swiping up and down the pattern area

 
This scale locking in combination with tracks makes for a pretty unique & radical feature. It basically enables you to improvise a solo over a chord progression like a jazz pianist. For example; you can play and modulate a naturalMinor solo over a fixed-root harmonicMinor progression.

Also it’s really awesome to connect Changeling via the 16 MIDI channels to your DAW, and use that as a sound module. Here use scale and root locking to fix drum sounds or bass lines.

Other new features:

• Copy/paste & clear patterns, works between sequences (longpress gesture)
• Multiple undo / redo, state is saved each time you switch from record to playback
• Quantization while recording patterns
• MIDI export via email (records all parameter changes & MIDI channel info)
• Support for custom soundfonts; Open them in changeling via Dropbox or Email for example. The internal sampler is still monophonic though
• Fast sequence switching (by swiping left and right in the pattern area)
• Memory – Soundfonts are unloaded in MIDI mode
• Bugfixes – One relating to a MIA scale

 

Meet Changeling; the super easy, flexible, diatonic chord sequencer from the future. This sequencer has its foundation in musical improvisation theory. All recorded musical notes remain relative, and can be changed in various ways during playback.

It’s a simple tool for people that like to create music, but don’t have the discipline or time for studying music theory, or years of piano improvisation practice. Changeling does not generate compositions, you remain in full creative control over the music that you come up with.
