The Fourth is with us!

Post by synthalabim »

Hello! 🎶
Thank you for another awesome update! Especially enjoying the fourth layout. Would it be feasible to get an octave layout somewhere in the future? With the same number of pads, but the interval between the rows being an octave instead of a fourth, it‘d be possible to cover all 88 piano notes within a single screen.
Thank you and have a nice day!

Oh - I just realised that with an octave apart, one more pad per row would make sense as otherwise one note would be missing. My bad!

Mwah, the B note is overrated anyway, isn't it? :mrgreen:

There are a few more cells on the 12.9 iPad BTW.

The nice thing about fourths is that you can play chords on adjacent rows. With octaves the distances are too long for that. That doesn't mean there's no use for such a layout of course.

B movies are called B movies for a reason. :D

Yup definitely an incredible update.
Best daw on iOS.
For me an invaluable learning tool.
One thing I wish for is midi feedback on
The chosen layout, especially on the fourths.
Seeing a melody or chords on that layout
Makes learning on a Launchpad/Push/Linnstrument
Really stick. What do you think?
Thanks for a great app! Regardless

I just posted this on another thread here but I thought this might be the more appropriate place to post it though:

I love the fourths layout but I was wondering: Would you consider adding an all perfect fifths layout as an onscreen MIDI keyboard too?

My understanding from the Linnstrument forum is that perfect fifths is the second most popular layout after perfect fourths among Linnstrument players. I like it quite a bit.

And of course it would just be a kind of larger extension of the violin/cello layout that you already have in MTS.

It wasn't planned, but who knows.

Glad you like the fourths :D

There are so many cool and unique features in MTS. The onscreen keyboard layouts, including the new fourths layout, are really great.
