Update: Seline Ultimate v2.0 is Released

Seline 2.0 Ultimate is based upon the award-winning concept of the original Seline HD, but is so much better in every way. The application has evolved from the “concept” to the “real workhorse” level and is now a very powerful musical tool, for instant production of tons of first-class musical ideas. The melodies can now be recorded to .WAV/.M4A and MIDI simultaneously. Hardware, virtual, wireless MIDI in/out, as well as Audio Copy/Paste are fully supported. There are 30 built-in instruments, 6 drones, 8 drumloops, and more downloadable content is available through in-app purchase.
Seline is a great live performance and improvisation music instrument that will keep you playing for hours, even if you haven’t touched any music instrument before. The sound is altered on the fly with a dozen of subtle AI algorhythms that add unbelievable expression, character and life to your music. Drones (chorded synth pads) are generated on-the-fly based on the complex analysis of your melody line and provide an excellent background layer for your melody.
Seline features a completely new, ergonomically designed playing surface called ioGrid, suitable for players with all hand sizes. The melodies are played with two hands, while keeping the iPad on the knees or on the table. Fully adjustable 16-note scale is divided into 2 parts (odd and even), which are then mapped on the left and right grids. Such way of note mapping is beneficial to the existing linear scale mapping solutions as it allows many more improvisation possibilities. And, of course, the player is never out of tune.
The completely redesigned, realistic-looking interface called ioGrid 2.0 brings many improvements to the original ioGrid. The white keys now represent the opposite part of the scale, thus all the scale is available for performance using only one hand. The variable-length note-to-note pitch slides are performed just by sliding between the yellow and the white keys with different speed. Resting your palm on the “pads” at the bottom of the screen allows to pitch-bend each note as on a regular controller.
Symbiosis of research, technology, and passion… Seline is the latest, most innovative and best-sounding music instrument for the iPad, aimed at easy creation of complicated, soulful, intricate melodies, backed with lush soundscapes. Record them all, and you’ll never run out of musical ideas!

After buying Seline and a few other Amidio apps, i’ll never buy anything from then anymore, they are arrogant, never responded to my messages and do not trust them anymore. Pity, as Seline had potential if developed correctly …
Yeah. I actually liked the last version more. This interface is a step back, and the free update seems more like a ploy for making you buy new sounds. Definitely disappointed. They tout it as a serious tool for musicians, but name all the scales with cryptic titles that mean little. The pitch bend is a step backwards, too. Not nearly as responsive as before. Bummed…. Maybe it will grow on me as time goes by. The drone feature is still nice. Still a more intuitive interface than your traditional ipad keyboard.
really horrible way to update the app. take away the original sounds (and charge you to get them back) then say on twitter that those are obsolete sounds and the original instrument was just a proof of concept. And, besides the new interface is worse than the last. Yeah, I’m right pissed about this. Save your money. The developer is arrogant.
Agreed. One to avoid, Amidio have a history of abandoning their customers and leaving them with over-priced poorly developed apps.
Make that three! Nothing has changed. Amidio has always been arrogant to his existing customer base. This has happened so many times in the past, you think he would have learnt by now! My advice is to avoid the Amidio apps!
