So take some of the function of the Roland product and turn it into software? That's a legitimate idea. Many features found in hardware can often be reproduced in software-only form.
I would love a developer to be inspired by a combination “Chord Generator based on a Sam Chilean (Intervalic) Keyboard”.
I hacked out a Mozaic MIDI solution:
And the license for the code is “Do what the fuck you want with it”.
https://patchstorage.com/intervalic-chord-pad-pages/
I also added extra Pages for chromatic and scalar intervals.
The main reason I want someone to code something similar is to get a standalone version in addition to the Mozaic AUv3 product.
Have you thought of a version of this which would also include a "strum" function so it could be used with guitar patches? I'd been hoping the company which makes Strum GS-2 (Applied Acoustics) would bring it to iPadOS, but that hasn't happened yet and I find the guitar strumming system Apple uses in GarageBand too limiting.

And I already have 4Pockets' guitar simulator (StrummerFX) but I don't care for the strumming implementation they have either.
Sure. Strum is a pretty trivial implementation detail on the output chords. I could easily add it to this script if there’s anyone that would promise to download and use it. I’d probably make a variant that replaces the “Voices” knob with a Strum value in millisecond from 0 to maybe 100(?) A developer has more control of the User Interface design than the options provided by @brambos in Mozaic.
Yes. One should be able to widely vary the rate of strumming. Sometimes you want to be able to play a slow paced song with style.
@wim made an excellent Strumming Mozaic Script and I suspect there are some Strumming apps too. The devil lies in the expectations of the user. Plumbing my script into @wims script probably covers the use case for someone to use for inspiration in C++, objective C or even Swift.
ChordKit for developers!

I'm fine with that (would not have posted otherwise).
I'd love to see an equivalent to FL Studio Desktop's text/HTML notebook. It's just a stack of pages that you can populate and that you can turn the pages of via plugin parameters. Should be easy enough, but tbh I tried and failed to learn enough to do it on my own. 😂
This simple utility could be used for lyrics, project notes, etc.
Bonus, for some if it can also display PDF files, though I wouldn't use it for that.

I want a 5-lane audio editor (AuV3), where you drop/record on the first 4 lanes, slice it, and drop the slices on the 5th lane.
The 5th lane is able to insert effects and stretch/flip. This lane could be variable long, like a lane in a DAW, so you could Jig-Saw for an amount of time.
Then it must be possible to bounce the 5th lane to one of the other 4 lanes for further work.
The idea behind it, is to create glitch/D&B/breakcore.
What would you call such an app? SampleSaw? LaneSplitter?
JigSawSampler
I wish there was an app that would allow me to convert transients to MIDI. Or something like drumagog as auv3 (to use it in cubasis). That would make my workflow incredibly easier.
There’s one thing we’ve been screaming out for for years, that has yet to be implemented. The biggest hole in the array of quality apps we have available for iOS is the equivalent of EZ Drummer, BFD, Native Instruments Studio Drummer or Abbey Road or Cubases Groove Agent. I want a choice of real acoustic drum samples, microphone choices and placement, room sounds etc.. we’re up to our eyeballs in synths and drum machines, but where are the real drums?
There is. FAC Envolver.
Drambo can do this with a simple patch as well.
Sounds interesting. Thanks for the tip! Do you know an example video that shows me how to get a MIDI track from a snare track, for example?
+1
This one
You can get pretty close to a natural sounding drum kit (and drummer) with GarageBand, but still no IK Multimedia MODO Drums for iOS/iPadOS yet.
You could show me one hundred AUM videos and I’ll never get it. Something about that UI which defies understanding for me and I’m not sure why. I just don’t do my work the same way as that app wants me to.
One concept that I’ve thought about … can there be analogies between digital imaging and digital sound (because it’s all bits and bytes)?
So I’ve wondered whether it is possible to have some kind of adjustment filters for sounds that would be like the blending modes in Photoshop.
some examples:
If you have two layers or tracks of sounds, one over the other, it’s like the ’Normal’ blending mode in Ps.
Silence is like transparency letting other sounds pass through.
But could there be an equivalent to other modes like ‘Multiply’, ‘Screen’, ‘Add’, Subtract’, ‘Difference’, etc.? In Ps the modes filter by luminance and color.
What would ‘sound color’ be? Tonality? Scales?
Could there be a monochrome or gray scale sound?
Could a sound be flipped to a negative of itself?
Okay; just a thought experiment. I guess if it was possible it would have been done by now, right?
I don't have this new app, but it may be able to do what you're looking for.

@Stochastically
Your idea reminds me of this:
https://unitedplugins.com/Transmutator/
And this:
https://library.vcvrack.com/AudibleInstruments/Warps
The second one is part of miRack, too, if I'm not mistaken, although I 'm not sure if you can route two audiotracks into miRack.
Maybe interesting...
Photoshop for sound design? I like that idea.
@ZankFrappa
Thanks for the tip! I will have a closer look at this app. At first glance it doesn't seem to be auv3....
@Gavinski
Thanks for the tip! I will take a look at the video and hopefully be able to adopt what I find in it.
A Midi app version of Expressive E Touché
Practically, a more complex Pen2Bow (not for the pen side)
That’s pretty cool. Would like to see other manufacturers explore new interfaces like this.
I think the drums are amazing in GarageBand to say that it’s a free app, but I wouldn’t use them in a track. I’m going to sound immensely pompous here but, they’re not good enough for my tracks. For acoustic drums on my iPad I send a rough mix so far to my desktop, make drums there and send them back to the iPad. But I bet we see 1000 more incredible synths before we get some awesome drums
The way I create drum tracks I use whatever best fits the piece. I'll usually use the Drummer (automated) track first as a metronome, then I'll discover where I need more accent and impact in the song. When I have that, I'll manually enter beats which more closely fit what I'm trying to do. I might keep or eliminate parts or all of the original Drummer track. I see shaping a song as a process in which I add and remove elements until I have the right balance. I almost never simply lay down a Drummer track "as is" and leave it that way unless the drums are completely secondary to everything else. Having a background playing drums (among other things), I haven't seen anyone else create songs exactly the same way I do and because I've been doing it this way so long I'm pretty efficient doing it this way. I like having a maximum amount of flexibility and options available to me at all times.
I've been waiting for it all my life: an app that when I speak, it transforms my voice into that of Morgan Freeman in real time, when I sing it brings out the voice of Billie Holyday, when I shout, I hear a scream by James Brown. We can probably get there With the use of AI, unfortunately what I've already heard about it is quite disappointing (eg. Uberduck) and still no real time
