Pond - Ripple Sequencer

Pond is a MIDI sequencer built on one simple idea: drop a stone in the
water and let the wave play the notes.

Every cell of the pond is a note. Tap anywhere and a ripple expands from
your finger; as its wave front crosses each cell, that note sounds. Where
you tap, what notes you've planted, and how the waves overlap becomes the
music. Tap with several fingers for several waves. Hold a finger still and
you plant an emitter: a spring that keeps dripping ripples in time, on its
own.

It plays better than it has any right to. Generate a fresh pond in any
of nine scales and a key of your choosing, set an octave range, paint
notes by hand with the floating paint bar, and let it run. Turn on wave
interference and the ripples behave like real water: overlapping crests
play louder, a crest meeting a trough plays softer or cancels to silence,
so the dynamics emerge from the physics, and you can see them bloom in the
water.

Pond has a built-in 16-voice synth, so it makes sound the moment you
open it, no setup. It also speaks MIDI to everything else: pick your
USB, Bluetooth, or network synths from a dropdown and Pond plays them
directly, send notes to other apps, or load it as an AUv3 MIDI plugin in
AUM, Logic, and Cubasis where it follows the host tempo and saves with
your session.
