Poly 2

Rediscovered, again. And, again, I grow and Poly 2 grows with me! Every time I think I’ve come to a limitation of Poly 2, it turns out that it was really mine. lol Right now I’m listening to one of the moody’ish ambient music loops I’e ever heard. ‘Swollen Pads’. I’ve made 6 variations of their original. So much fun on an iPhone 12 on iOS 17.6 and not a single problem and the ‘smartest’ iPhone music app ever! It’s as if I had given them both a features list as well as the perfect iPhone user interface, documentation, and sound quality. Right here in the ‘palm’ of my hand, watching the World translating it into sound.

Love this app! There’s a track on my most recent EP I made entirely in the first version, and this update is even better! Really fun and easy way to get all sorts of interesting patterns and textures flowing and changing. The sequencing and sampling features in this version make it way more robust and fully-fledged for a whole song-making machine in one app. Would really love if the sampler allowed you to select a snippet from an audio file longer than 30secs so you didn’t have to prepare audio in another app, but ce la vie. Definitely worth the upgrade to pro mode regardless.

I am totally fascinated with the rhythms you can create with this great app. It makes creating complex polyrhythms super easy. You don’t even need to know what a polyrhythm is. You can just jump right in and create amazing stuff. And you are creating these rhythms, the app just helps tremendously, but it is not a genearative type of app. Many great features have been added already since Poly 2 launched a little while ago. It has really great Midi support and interesting, original built-in samples. I really love the mysterious, yet intuitive UI. Developer support is top notch, too.
