Algonaut by Axart Labs OU (Released)
https://apps.apple.com/app/id6772998688
Play one note. Hear a world.
Algonaut is a MIDI chord performance engine built around the harmonic language of ambient artist Algonaut - aka Achillefs Sourlas - the same voicings that shaped Sonic Dreams Vol. 1 & 2, now playable live from your iPad.
Tap a pad, and a full chord fires. Route it through your DAW, layer doublings, twist rhythms, and capture everything as MIDI. This is the performance tool your setup has been missing.
VOICINGS FROM SONIC DREAMS
• A curated library of chord pads: lush, carefully voiced harmonies ready to play
• Transpose the entire set to any key in one tap
• The chords are there; just perform
SEQUENCE. PERFORM. EVOLVE.
• Pads fire full chord voicings
• Run in sync with your DAW or trigger freely by hand
• Gate and Latch modes hold a chord as long as you need it
• Transition rules: in order or random, keeping progressions alive and unpredictable
• Strum mode adds natural movement to chord attacks
HARMONIES THAT MOVE WITH YOU
• Two independent Part Doublers add bass and top-voice doublings in real time
• Each doubler has its own MIDI output channel, so you can route them to separate instruments if you want
LET IT SURPRISE YOU
• Mutation mode applies inversions and harmonic variations autonomously over time
MIDI-ONLY, HOST-FRIENDLY
• Runs as an AUv3 MIDI effect inside Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, and more - or standalone
• No audio processing, no latency, no noise - everything stays in the MIDI domain
Algonaut requires an AUv3-compatible host for full plugin functionality.
Details:
Universal: No
Minimum OS version: 12.0

Disappointing to be made to wade through yet another overwritten, boilerplate, AI-generated AppStore description...devs really should learn to write their own blurbs again.
Amen to that. It’s all just so lifeless innit?
It really is, every time I read a blurb like this (and sadly they're the norm now), I feel like it's sucking the soul from my body. I think it's important to call it out, and I think that it's good for the scene and for devs in the long run, to do so. Because even if people don't mention it, they do feel it. Many people are tired of this stuff, devs need to stop this for their own good.
Don’t see any mention in the description that you can create your own chords. Are you really stuck with the ones that are here? That would be a very strange choice imo
Agreed, I’m definitely not interested in a “somebody else’s music generator”
I saw the video last night and sadly no. It is just to play the chords from the songs of the albums he made. There is a choice of chords but all come from those albums. Not interested
Mystifying choice. How hard would it be to add the ability to set your own chords...
I always wonder why apps like this aren’t available on iPhone. Apps like Continua I can mostly understand because of the UI, but the video in the App Store shows the UI being pretty compact and fitting in a small AUM window.
Algonot.🙂
It would be kind of be a cool marketing ploy where buying an album unlocked chord packs or something. A free pad app with a BandCamp download code for chords from an album could be fun.
I think it’s more a companion app to an album than a creative tool. Kinda like those apps that Brian Eno put out a while ago. More for playing around with the tracks, maybe “remixing?”, than creating your own. I’ve never heard of this artist so it doesn’t interest me (or many others it seems). But if the next King Gizzard album had an app like this release with it, id prolly snag it. Or this new BoC album for instance…
That's the thing... That approach only makes sense for well established artists, yeah if this was a tie in with the new Boards of Canada album, people would be all over it! Hopefully the dev will decide to add ability to edit chords, otherwise it's hard to imagine this release doing well.
the chords sound beautiful to be honest
A promo for an unknown project with a $5 price tag?
I don’t think I’d mind if they used AI to get the main description down - then used that as a draft to edit and rephrase in their own words. I know many devs absolutely hate the app description part of the launch process, so I get the appeal. But yeah, the AI prose is often pretty cringy
Oh yeah for sure. I don't much object to them using AI for that, but I agree, it needs to then be carefully edited by hand after.
As much as I absolutely abhor what these AI bros are doing to the economy and ecology... not to mention the way it was created as absolute intellectual property theft on a global scale... I've tried to "know the enemy" by using it some.
I tried using it for a few travel blog posts. I DID introduce the posts saying that I was experimenting with AI and that I did not write it. Most of the time I thought the writing was decent, but didn't sound like me at all. So, I'd rewrite them so that some of my less than perfect grammar and more conversational style would be present.
Eventually, I decided that although it was easier... even to let AI write it first, then edit to my own voice... I found that I missed writing it myself. That I enjoyed the writing more than I thought I did, although it was sometimes a struggle.
I still use it for some things. Like when I'm sending a stern letter to the neighborhood MUD board, I'll have AI rewrite it for me by asking "please rewrite this letter to sound less abrasive, aggressive and confrontational... and make it read more direct and professional.
I've found doing this before I shoot off the stern letter, actually gets me better results than my usual attack dog mode. lol
I’ve seen the rule of thumb where “don’t use AI to write anything revolving around the word ‘I’”. The idea being, any time you’re expressing your own thoughts and perspectives write it out in your voice. That leaves stuff like email briefs and quick technical reports for AI and your personal thoughts your own. It’s not perfect, and I butchered that description, but I like this gist.
