About 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.
Calm, organic, and made for the iPad.
- Tap-to-ripple sequencing across a grid of notes
- Multi-touch and Apple Pencil
- Persistent emitters that drip in time
- 9 scales, key, octave range, quantize, wall reflections
- Wave interference: overlapping ripples add, cancel, and shape the dynamics
- Built-in 16-voice synth + 24 preset slots
- Plays your synths and hardware directly over USB, Bluetooth, or network MIDI
- CoreMIDI source and AUv3 MIDI plugin (host-tempo aware)
- Collects no data; nothing leaves your iPad

Latest updates
1.3.1
A fix for freezes when Pond is driving hardware synths over MIDI. Notes used to leave one at a time, which is more than a Bluetooth MIDI link can carry once the pond gets busy, and Pond could lock up waiting for them to go out. It now sends them in groups, and out of the way of the interface, so the app stays responsive however dense your pond gets. If a connection does fall behind, Pond eases off on new notes instead of stalling, and it always sends the note-offs, so nothing hangs on your gear.
Timing is tighter everywhere, too. Each note now goes out at the exact moment the wave reaches it, rather than whenever the app next got round to it, so busy ponds and fast divisions stay locked, and very fast settings no longer skip the odd note. In a plugin host, notes and emitter drips land on their exact spot in the timeline instead of the start of each audio buffer, and emitters you play from a DAW fire right where you put them.
A few smaller things: the built-in sound comes back on its own after a phone call or Siri, a still pond stops redrawing itself (easier on the battery, and on your DAW's CPU in a plugin), and the plugin now remembers its interference velocity range when you save a session.
