NodeBeat
Drag to shift Generators and Notes, creating music visually
How Does It Work?

NodeBeat is an experimental node-based audio sequencer and generative music application. By combining music and playful exploration, NodeBeat allows anyone to create an exciting variety of rhythmic sequences and ambient melodies in a fun and intuitive fashion. Enjoy easy navigation, including drag-and-drop to add or remove nodes, double-tap to start or stop octave generators, and a quick shake to clear the screen.

Generators and Notes make up the two types of nodes. Generators pulse and play Notes within proximity. A Note is played in sequence, based on the distance it is from its connected Generator. Pause nodes to create your own beats or let them roam free to have them generate their own.

Create your own music in a matter of minutes or listen to NodeBeat generate its own. Easily share your creations with others or save them for later to show your friends. From the professional to the novice, NodeBeat lets anyone explore creative music.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'd be surprised April 16, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a music teacher, play multiple instruments, and have produced music, so I'm usually skeptical and disappointed with audio and "music" apps. However, this is app far exceeded my expectations, with excellent features (many scales, keys, bpm, attack/delay/echo) to keep the musically inclined intrigued. And it's definitely high on the fun scale. Those who are percussion- and rythmically-oriented may particularly enjoy this one. And it's free today, so grab it!

4.0 out of 5 stars great app. some buggs. April 16, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
some menu action sequences cause a force close. and for the people that didn't see it. this is for higher end devices. that eliminates anything sub 1 ghz at least.The in application graphics are awesome, and the touch response works like a charm. I could only get my brain to use 3 fingers on the screen, and the application registered all 3 touches doing different actions!

4.0 out of 5 stars Battery hog, but good April 16, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I just downloaded this and tried it out. Worked well and got a nice beat and groove going. I let it go for a bit (about 10 minutes at most) while browsing the web on my desktop. All of a sudden, my phone alerts me to a low battery. It went from probably about 80% to 15-20% in that 10 minute period.

I like the ease of use; it was simple enough to figure out how to get it going without a tutorial or walkthrough. I like the patterns produced, the fact that the groove updates as you're dragging things around, allowing for dynamic changing of the pattern, etc.

Just make sure you're plugged in if you're using it for more than a couple minutes.
