The v1.1 update adds MIDI CC mapping to all parameters, enabling external control for live tweaks, and resolves small issues to enhance stability in AUv3 hosts.
Key changes in v1.1 include:
- Added MIDI CC mapping for all parameters
- Minor bug fixes for improved reliability
Parrot transforms incoming audio into evolving loops by capturing small slices and repeating them via a 16-step sequencer with controls for length, pitch, variation, dynamics, and filtering. It can maintain steady rhythms or dissolve into broken, ambient textures, syncing to DAW tempo or running freely for generative exploration. The result is a tool that injects unpredictability and flair into iPad music production, ideal for dance tracks or subtle mix enhancements.
The interface is straightforward yet powerful, with per-step adjustments that respond to minor tweaks, creating new pulses or harmonic shifts. Filtering and dynamic shaping add movement, while the humanizer introduces organic timing variations. As an AUv3 effect, it integrates seamlessly into hosts like AUM or GarageBand on iPad, though it lacks standalone mode and iPhone/MacOS support.
Key features include:
- Real-time audio sampling and sequenced loop playback (up to 16 steps)
- Controls for loop length, pitch, variation, dynamics, and evolving filter modes
- Humanizer for subtle timing variations and organic feel
- Sync to DAW tempo or free-run mode for generative patterns
- AUv3 effect plugin compatibility for iPad DAWs
App price: $8.99.
