Since the existence of computers, developers have been working on ways to make music that is compatible with technology. Combining the digital world with the musical world has opened up many new opportunities. One of them being the ability to create beautiful music without needing to know how to play a single note on an instrument.
NodeBeat HD is one such app that allows users the ability to control and manipulate objects on the screen that will pulse rhythmically and change pitch as you move them around. No music theory necessary.
The nodes are made up of various notes and beat generators. Place a node on the screen and the notes will automatically appear, attached to the node. Stretch the note out to alter its pitch. Move it around to create different sounds or let the notes float around and create sound automatically. Add more notes and attach them to the node to create new rhythms.
Each note you place on the screen can be adjusted with different waveforms, keys, and octaves. You can also change the echo, attack, decay, and release. There are 12 musical key signatures with 20 scales and seven octave ranges. For the nodes, adjust the tempo and beat style for a variety of sound options.
You can record and save your music, create ringtones, upload to SoundCloud, and play it live to other compatible apps via Audiobus.
NodeBeat HD is available on the iPad for $2.99. Download it in the App Store today.
