Physicles by Rodrigo Roman received its latest update on January 3, 2019. Originally released on July 18, 2018.
Physicles uses a physics engine to produce MIDI from bouncing balls in a polygon (Bouncy) or spawning generators colliding with segments (Gravity), ideal for generative patterns in iPad music production. It supports two-finger panning/zooming, parameter adjustments on generators, and “frozen playgrounds” for capturing sequences with quantization.
The app runs as AUv3 MIDI plugin in hosts like AUM or Cubasis, lacking standalone sound generation but focusing on MIDI output. For how to make music on iPad, it’s a fun tool for experimental rhythms, though the physics simulation may require experimentation to master.
Physicles is a unique free utility for MIDI enthusiasts, adding physical chaos to sequences in the best iOS music apps.
