GenreMelt

GenreMelt is a musical sketchbook: you play chords and the app builds the backing — drums, bass, arpeggio and pad — in the genre you choose. When you like an idea, save it to a slot and build your song. Play your way • With the on-screen keyboard, or a MIDI keyboard over USB or Bluetooth. • Recognizes full chords in any inversion, and records the inversion. • Find chords by ear on the piano, or build them by root and type. • Keys in major, minor, the Greek modes and scales like harmonic minor or Phrygian dominant, with their diatonic chords. • Record your progression as you play: each chord's length is measured for you. Genres with their own character • Ballad, EDM, Reggae, Cumbia, Blues, Reggaeton, Funk, Salsa, Bossa nova, R&B, Pop, Metal, Synthwave, Lo-fi and DnB, each with its own patterns. • Melt: blend patterns and sounds from several genres with a roll of the dice. That's where the ideas you'd never have thought of show up. • Every layer has genes you can change: pattern, rhythm, feel (anticipation, laid-back, fills, swing, humanize…). Edit every note • Per-layer note editor, with 1, 2 or 4-bar patterns and lockable variations. • Pattern dice: random ideas with musical logic, with triplets and polyrhythms, using only the percussion you pick. Connect your synths • Send each layer to the phone, to your MIDI hardware or both, each on its own channel and octave. • Free keyboard: play your keyboard on its own channel while the app backs you up. • Split keyboard: chords on the left, free play on the right, split wherever you like. • MIDI bridge: pass your keyboard through to your hardware, channel by channel, with MIDI clock. • Bluetooth announce: send MIDI to another phone or tablet (for example, to GarageBand). • MIDI mapping: control the app from your controller's pads and knobs. • Metronome and count-in. Take your ideas further • Export MIDI for your DAW, one track per layer. • Save your own genres and share them as a file.
