The update keeps the intelligent note generator that builds melodies, basslines, and layered textures around African rhythmic and harmonic principles while making every control easier to reach on the iPad screen. You now get improved clarity across the UI, four selectable color themes, and better accessibility options. The core engine stays untouched: Tonebank improvises inside real harmonic loops drawn from xylophone, harp, kalimba, and vocal traditions, then syncs multiple instances so every part in your project locks into the same groove.
What’s new in v2.0:
- Visual refresh with improved UI clarity and workflow
- Four selectable color themes
- Enhanced accessibility support
- Refined pitch sliders and custom harmony editor
You pick from 16 built-in scales or draw your own custom harmonies, then let the loop mode sculpt density, pitch variance, and velocity while melody mode adds spoken-like phrasing and natural rests. Custom clave and swing editors handle asymmetric meters and micro-timing, and alternative tunings with MPE support open doors to microtonal work. Add a second instance and the parts begin trading melodic phrases in sync without extra MIDI routing — the multi-instance synchronization handles the conversation. Record the output straight into your DAW or let it evolve in real time. It works as an AUv3 plugin inside Logic Pro for iPad and other compatible hosts.
