AudioTheory Grids
macOS / Musique
AudioTheory Grids combines intuitive music theory tools with the power of a grid-based sequencer. Customise your grid, program in a composition and then play it back on the piano and fretboard diagrams.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
Features, features, features. Lots of new things arrive in AudioTheory Grids 2.1.0:
Extra Instrument Grids – The main view now includes an extra instrument grid, so you can add in a bass part, or layer in whatever additional sounds you desire.
The instrument itself is now set independently from the main piano, meaning that each grid can have a different instrument and then the main piano can use something else too. E.g. you could play bass, keys and drums using the grid and then overlay a synth part in real-time using the main piano.
Export as MIDI – Anything you create in AudioTheory Grids can now be exported as a MIDI file that can be imported into your DAW. These options can be found under the new MIDI item in the toolbar and they work as follows:
Export current grid as MIDI – this generates a MIDI file for the current on-screen view (either notes or drums depending on what's currently in focus).
Export all notes as MIDI – this cycles through all grid configurations on the number pad and exports them into one continuous MIDI file. A second file is then created for the second set of note grids.
Export all drums as MIDI – as above, this combines all configurations on the number pad into a single MIDI file. However it exports the drums grids, rather than the two sets of note grids.
Auto Save and Load – The full notes grid now automatically saves and loads between sessions. All input across all grids across all number pads remains in place.
Under the 'Grid' option in the toolbar there are additional options to clear the view. It's possible to clear the current grid using the 'Clear Current' option, or to clear everything by selecting 'Clear All Grids'.
Undo recent changes from the 'Edit' item in the toolbar, or by pressing Cmd+Z.
Stopwatch Synchronised Grid– Grid playback is now controlled using a new stopwatch mechanism. This ensures greater precision in playback time and accurate tempo speeds.
Bug fixes:
–Input handling has been updated to better support keyboard input when used alongside the instrument grids
–Fixed a couple of issues with grids not muting correctly
–Muted grids no longer highlight across the keyboard. This made sense when there was only one note grid, but across two it became confusing to see what was going on.
–Grids-specific hotkeys no longer work when the file name input field is active.
