Who needs presets or AI? An idea can start from anything – even extracted from the pixel values of some images you have stored on your phone. Pixel Music tries a different take on sequencing.
Pixel Music is based on a simple idea, but elegantly implemented. And it’s an ideal fit for your iOS modular, as seen here with Moog Music’s very lovely Model D. (Model D is running in the AUM mixer, which in turn pairs well with the AUBE plug-in librarian I covered this week, even if I’m now guaranteed to et both their names confused / wrong.)
Andrei Antonescu has created this little gem, and added a lot of details:
• Image pixels turn into pitch, velocity, and note duration
• Play multiple images at the same time, in sync
• Choose what parts of the image will be played and at what timing
• Tap on the image and record yourself playing alongside the sequencer
Plus, it runs as both AUv3 and standalone, and includes Ableton Link support.

Oddly, this makes me want to code something up in Processing.js, as it has that feeling, but – having it as a polished app is also useful.
