Touchscaper - for those who want to play piano but can’t
I thought I’d post this for anyone who wants piano parts in their music but can’t play. Touchscaper can do a zillion things and this example only scratches the surface of what this wonderful app can do.
I opened Ravenscroft in Cubasis and routed the midi out of Touchscaper. I entered a chord progression that I like and changed chords in the left-hand column when needed and I just tapped the screen. Sometimes with three fingers, two fingers or just one.
Possibilities are endless. Load up a bunch of iSymphonic channels and route Touchscaper out and you have an instant orchestral monster.
I’ve gotten to know this app quite well and would recommend it to anyone. If anyone has any questions and is thinking of buying then I’d be happy to help.
@moodscaper thank you for making this 👍

So can this generate a chord set based on a range of modes? Or is it more choose your own chords?
@Ailerom you can have Touchscaper generate chords from a chosen key, choose your own chords and also have chords suggested if you’re not sure what to add next. I hope the photos attached show these options.
You can also set it to move to the next chord when you release your fingers from the screen or set it so that you choose when the next chord is selected by manually tapping in the vertical chord strip on the left side.
You can even press the ‘hold’ button so that the notes you’ve played will stay selected. This is handy when you program a chord progression in the ‘conductor’ option. Once you press play it will cycle through your progression and play by itself. You can program various chord progressions and then tell it how many times to repeat before moving to the next progression and this way you can construct and entire piece of music.
Also, the smart arpeggiator (in the sequencer section) is brilliant as it will arpeggiate the selected chords. There is a random dice that will dictate the probability of when a note will play.
I’ll stop now… I could go on…
Love “check this out” posts like these.
Hmmmmmmmm. Cool!!
@gothamoddisee I’ve learnt so much from this forum I want to try and give something back. At first I thought Touchscaper was a mellow, EDM type of thing but the more I dig the more I find. I’ve started trying to play piano more now because of the ideas I have when noodling with it.
I reckon it should be in every school.
@rud Thanks for the explanation. Does it only generate chords based on maj and min. If not probably no big deal. I should learn arrangements in any mode.
Thought I would double post this (also in Digitalism 2000 thread) as it is relevant. TouchScaper is a great app, Rob Jackson is a great developer (he does MoodUnits as well). TS is very versatile, far more than first appearances may suggest…
Hello @Ailerom the standard chord generation populates with your typical major and minor but next to that is the option to insert chords one at a time. Here you can pick suspended, 6th, 7th and diminished etc.
@GeoTony thats a really cool example of using the features and the midi controllers. Totally different to how I use it so I’ll learn from that.
Sorry I'm late to this - just wanted to say a massive thanks to @rud and the other guys on this thread for sharing!
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to play a live chord progression using the chord strip bar together with the sequencer pattern feature, as opposed to entering a chord progression first in the Conductor? Does anyone know if this is possible?
@Musicfan - If I'm understanding you correctly, I'm afraid that's not possible. Or at least, I don't think so...
Edit: I think you mentioned Doug demo'd this, so we just need to dig out the video and where he does it...
