Create Your Rhythm Patterns

  • RhythmBud is a MIDI effect application that would transform incoming MIDI messages into the rhythmic pattern you will create on its editor.

  • Has a very easy-to-use user interface that would work on iPad Pro to iPhone SE size screens as well as resizeable AUv3 plugin windows.

  • In its timeline editor, you can create/edit your rhythm patterns while controlling its MIDI transformation settings from its toolbar on the bottom.

  • You have quick timeline editor options on the top-left action menu - clear pattern, quantize, undo and redo.

Toolbar and Modes

  • RhythmBud has a very rich mode bar. You can select a mode from the left menu and then control it from the toolbar at the bottom.

  • You can create rhythm patterns or edit the selected one.

  • You can assign different arpeggios to your rhythm patterns such as up, down, up-down, high first, low first, and random orders.

  • You can add a strumming effect with an offset and note-order to your rhythm patterns.

  • You can modify the velocity of your rhythm patterns or add ratchets up to 4 repeats.

  • You can transpose the incoming MIDI notes between -24 and +24 semitones.

  • And you can record a pattern by tapping the toolbar - Like creating a rhythm pattern by clapping your hands!

Take Snapshots

  • You can quickly save your current configuration with the snapshots!

  • You can switch between your snapshots insanly fast - even if your RhythmBud is running.
