Sugar Bytes Dialekt groovebox app: now out on iPad and iPhone as well as desktop

Bietfriek

I’ve liked Dialekt enough to purchase the app for iPad as well as iPhone. Although I purchased Dialekt “as is”, I do hope we get some more color when it comes to filtertypes and saturation. A balance/panning control would be welcome as well.

Amazing idea generator! ….. but ….. @SugarBytesRico what does the chord progression actually do to notes in a pattern.

• Does the chord progression simply influence the randomizer with selected notes?
• The CRD track takes a step pitch and chord type allowing me to put pretty much any chord on any step. So how does this correspond to the chord progression?
• In the CRD how would I trigger the current chord in the progression?
• Are notes in the SYN, MLT and BASS tracks influenced by the chord progression or just scale locked?
• Is it possible to export the chord progression as midi? I want to “start casual and finish professional” so would be good to have the chord prog for any other parts I might add elsewhere.

29 Euro upgrade?

That would be the bundle upgrade I suppose. The upgrade comes at different prices depending how many and which products you already own.

Dialekt 1.0.2 is crossing the finish line atm by the way.

You find the pan control on the synth page. It resides there because it can be set per step.

Not sure what you mean. The chord progression will be written into the chord track, and it will decide which notes all other tracks play.

• The CRD track takes a step pitch and chord type allowing me to put pretty much any chord on any step. So how does this correspond to the chord progression?

The chord progression will do the same, once you hit the happy randomize button.

• In the CRD how would I trigger the current chord in the progression?

To make it more clear, the chord progression is a randomizer feature.

• Are notes in the SYN, MLT and BASS tracks influenced by the chord progression or just scale locked?

While the randomizer is writing, it takes the current chord and uses it to decide what pitches to write into the other tracks.

• Is it possible to export the chord progression as midi? I want to “start casual and finish professional” so would be good to have the chord prog for any other parts I might add elsewhere.

Since the chord progression is written by the randomizer, it will then be sent out by midi.
You can use the randomizer to write exactly what you need. Set it to Manual, dial in your chord progression, hit randomize.

@soundtemple In the mellow style you tend to get sustained chords, that follow the progression. So if you generate a part with nothing but mellow chords, and export or record the midi, you've got something to work with.

@tyslothrop1 Thanks

@SugarBytesRico ok ... thanks. I guess the key being set the chord progression, then randomise. I was looking at it from the other direction ie making manual changes in the CRD track and wondering how I connected changes with the chord progression.

Ace, thank you!

The bigger keyboard is a great improvement on the phone.
