Description:

Monoleap is a new musical instrument for the iPAD, capable of playing monophonic sounds with rich expression.

Monoleap lets you play anywhere on the screen using custom fingering patterns, while controlling the instrument expression using vertical and horizontal hand movements. It comes with a built in sound, but is designed to be used as a MIDI controller for playing your favorite software or hardware instruments.

  • Oooh, this is for me ! ☺️

  • Worth a play at that price. Looks like it was initially released some time ago and freshly rebooted.

  • Marvelous looking design. Anyone have experience with this as a MIDI controller?

  • Not yet, maybe I will buy it during the weekend.
    I still don’t understand how you get the right pitch.

    I had a look and realised it may take a while to get familiar with the fingerings. Maybe they are similar to some other fingered instrument.

  • Tried it. Needs work. Standalone only, can’t use it as an input device in AudioBus or AUM, and, on my iPad anyway, the triggering is very hit and miss. I won’t refund, as a) it was cheap, and b) maybe it’ll get better if the dev is encouraged.

  • Does it have vibrato or portamento? I’m not seeing any immediate advantage over GeoShred or Velocity KB, which do have pitch control.

  • I somehow had already downloaded and deleted it from the old version. Redownloaded. Sweet.

    Did you go to the developer page? It’s not Au or IAA but it says You can use the AUM virtual destination, like core midi.

    Good question. I also want to know.

    Oh thanks. Ok, it reminds me a bit of the recorder fingerings.

    Hey there,
    Sorry for being away, got locked out of my account and password reset is broken so had to create a new one..

    Thanks for trying out the app. As for the fingering scheme, it's not really similar to a recorder or a wind instrument, but one that I found works nicely when playing most scales on the device.
    However, I'm currently working with a wind instrument player on an alternative fingering scheme he suggested that is more in the direction of the recorder fingering scheme. This will be available as an update (configurable of course) soon. The main advantage in that scheme is that you can play the C major scale more easily.

    Other features coming are playing sensitivity selection and transpose.

    As for AUM support, you can set the AUM channel to "Virtual" and it will receive any MIDI messages running in the background, including from Monoleap. I'm currently looking into adding support for Monoleap as an AUv3 MIDI plugin, but this will probably take some time to implement.

    If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask

    My pleasure. That’s what I’m here for. :)

  • Thanks, that was very helpful.
    Unless I missed it, I am surprised that there is no way to bend the pitch. Pitch bend is part of an expressive playing. Maybe the thumb could play a role…

    It looks kinky... you mount the iPad from behind. I'm game for a new MIDI controller where the audience gets to see something visual. Dancing could break out on stage. If the spirit moves you.

    I was going to say it's like TC-Data but that's different in quite a few ways. TC-Data is $20, by the way. TC-11 with internal sounds is $25.

    $2 is a cool price.

    No problem, I’m here to help. With regards to pitch bend, as you can map X/Y movement of right or left hand to whatever parameter… I’m just typing what I’m thinking out loud here, they could be mapped to pitch bend…. Haven’t tried it but must have a look at that. I don’t think it would be comfortable in that playing position to use the thumb, plus, you’d drop the iPad. 🙂

    I can dig that, but where does one attach a strap to the iPad? Not trying to pile on extra innuendo here. 😳

    Ha ha, good point indeed !
    Also I think assigning X/Y to pitch bend may not work properly unless you can reset pitch bend to zero each time you play a new note.

  • Pitch bend is primitive; one requires portamento to have complete control over pitch. GeoShred and Velocity kb and Animoog deliver on this already.
