Pond - Ripple Sequencer

Pond is a MIDI sequencer built on one simple idea: drop a stone in the

water and let the wave play the notes.

Every cell of the pond is a note. Tap anywhere and a ripple expands from

your finger; as its wave front crosses each cell, that note sounds. Where

you tap, what notes you've planted, and how the waves overlap becomes the

music. Tap with several fingers for several waves. Hold a finger still and

you plant an emitter: a spring that keeps dripping ripples in time, on its

own.

It plays better than it has any right to. Generate a fresh pond in any

of nine scales and a key of your choosing, set an octave range, paint

notes by hand with the floating paint bar, and let it run. Turn on wave

interference and the ripples behave like real water: overlapping crests

play louder, a crest meeting a trough plays softer or cancels to silence,

so the dynamics emerge from the physics, and you can see them bloom in the

water.

Pond has a built-in 16-voice synth, so it makes sound the moment you

open it, no setup. It also speaks MIDI to everything else: pick your

USB, Bluetooth, or network synths from a dropdown and Pond plays them

directly, send notes to other apps, or load it as an AUv3 MIDI plugin in

AUM, Logic, and Cubasis where it follows the host tempo and saves with

your session.
