artcode DAW

artcode DAW is a complete music production environment on one screen.
Instruments, effects, recording, arrangement and export are all built in,
so an empty project can become a finished track without installing
anything else.

There is nothing else to download. Everything works the moment you buy it.

■ A melody is enough

Write the tune you can hear in your head. artcode DAW works out the
chords, adds bass and drums, and builds it into a song. Draw it in the
piano roll, or connect a keyboard and play it.

You do not need to know any music theory. You need a melody.

This runs the opposite way to most "AI songwriting": your melody leads,
and artcode DAW fills in around it. It chooses chords by how they lead into
one another, not bar by bar, and it can work out the key from your notes.
Choose 21 styles, from pop to jazz, bossa nova and flamenco.

What comes out is ordinary MIDI, so any chord you dislike can be changed.

■ Two views, one project

Session is your sketchbook: a grid of short clips you trigger as ideas
arrive, until the shape of the song appears. Arrangement is the timeline,
where the same clips become a finished track. Move between them freely.
Time signature and tempo can change partway through a song.

■ Everything you need to make sound

Nine instruments - a subtractive synth, an FM synth, a wavetable synth, a
dedicated bass, a drum machine, a singing-voice synth (Japanese and
English), a sampler, a 16-pad drum sampler and a SoundFont (.sf2) player.
Load a SoundFont from the Files app and play free acoustic pianos, strings
and more.

More than twenty effects: EQ (three-band and parametric), compressor, bus
compressor, multiband, transient shaper, reverb, delay, granular delay,
chorus, flanger, auto-pan, distortion, saturation, bitcrusher, ring
modulator, beat repeat, vocoder, pitch snap (transparent correction through
to hard robotic tuning), sidechain ducking, a maximizer and a spectrum
analyzer.

On SYNTH, FM and BASS you can breed presets into new sounds.

■ Audio that behaves

Imported audio is analysed for tempo as it loads. Warp it to the project
tempo, trim, retune, fade and crossfade it, or turn it into MIDI.

■ AI that runs on the device

Bundled and offline. They write a melody that follows your chords,
continue a drum pattern, or humanise a rigid beat. No network access.

■ Built for fingers

Long-press for menus, pinch to zoom. The controls are sized to be hit
with a fingertip.

■ Break chords apart

Long-press a clip that holds chords and choose Arpeggio / Strum. The
chords are replaced with a broken-up figure.

Draw your own step sequence or strumming pattern, or start from 19
presets. The result is ordinary notes you can edit.

■ Finishing, done for you

Auto mastering measures the song, places EQ, compression and a maximizer,
and sets the loudness to a target such as streaming's -14 LUFS. Choose your
low end, top end and attack. What it places are ordinary effects, so you can
adjust them afterwards.
