Description

Create your own MIDI plugins: MIDI filters, generative music tools, basic sequencers, MIDI control panels, chaos experiments... Let your imagination take you places. Mozaic runs inside your favorite AU MIDI host, and gives you practical building blocks such as LFOs, pre-fab GUI layouts, musical scales, AUv3 support (with AU Parameters, transport events, tempo syncing, etc.), random generators and a super-simple yet powerful script language. Mozaic even offers quick access to your device’s Tilt Sensors for expressive interaction concepts! The Mozaic Script language is designed from the ground up to be the easiest and most flexible MIDI language on iOS. A language by creatives, for creatives. You’ll only need to write a few lines of script to achieve impressive things - or to create that uber-specific thing that was missing from your MIDI setup. Check out the Programming Manual on Ruismaker.com to learn about the script language and to get inspiration for awesome scripts of your own. Mozaic comes with a sizable collection of tutorials and pre-made scripts which you can use out of the box, or which can be a starting point for your own plugin adventures. Features in a nutshell: - Easy to learn Mozaic Script language: easy to learn, easy to read - Sample-accurate-everything: the tightest MIDI timing possible - Built-in script editor with code-completion, syntax hints, etc. - 5 immediately usable GUI layouts, with knobs, sliders, pads, etc. - In-depth, helpful programming manual available on Ruismaker.com - Easy access to LFOs, scales, MIDI I/O, AU parameters, timers - Supports Sysex, with built-in checksum calculations - AUv3; so you'll get multi-instance, state-saving, tempo sync and resource efficiency out of the box Mozaic opens up the world of creative MIDI plugins to anyone willing to put in a few hours and a hot beverage or two. Practical notes: - Mozaic requires a plugin host with support for AUv3 MIDI plugins (AUM, ApeMatrix, Cubasis, Auria, Audiobus 3, etc.) - The standalone mode of Mozaic lets you edit, test and export projects, but for MIDI connections you need to run it inside an AUv3 MIDI host - MIDI is not sound; Mozaic on its own does not make noise... so bring your own synths, drum machines and other instruments! - AUv3 MIDI requires iOS11 or higher

    Need custom midi control? This lets you code your own midi plugins, 🎉WITH UI🎉 or download from others on patchstorage. No mac, no deployment, no developer’s license required. Absolutely incredible.

    Dev, When copy pasting from Microsoft Word, it doesn’t recognize the new line characters. It displays them perfectly, but it won’t run the script.

  • Excellent AUM midi tool, THANKS!

    You don’t need to be a script writer or programmer to get some great midi tools/apps built with this application. A lot of great midi plugins have already been created by the gear heads. I needed a midi clock for external midi gear in AUM and found one made with Mozaic. I suggest you go to ruismaker.com for info and patchstorage.com to checkout the Mosaic tools/patches/applications currently available. If you are a gear head enthusiast. You can make your own tools or modify someone else’s code. I’ve used many script languages in my computer career and the developer has done an excellent job with this app. I added two simple program patch selectors for the ARTURIA MicroFreak and KORG Minilogue XD. I’m a bit rusty in writing code, but it didn’t take long to make something useful. My only complaint is that the description makes it appear that this is purely a developer tool. Mozaic Plugin Work Shop - Roll Your Own Midi Plugins Just a suggestion, how about something like this. Mozaic Midi Tools - Write Your Own or Use Shared Code I think many AUM users missed this app and its usefulness, I know I did. I skipped over it but came back after my search for a AUM midi clock solution. It’s a gateway to many useful tools/apps, with more to come. Thanks Bram Bos for this and all of your other iOS apps.

    I didn’t know what to do with this app when I first bought it- I’m generally not the kind of guy that writes his own scripts. But once I realized that there are loads of smart people writing and sharing Mozaic scripts on places like patchstorage.com...I began to realize how useful and fun this app can be. I now count this among my very favorite apps! This app + a good synth + AUM = infinite musical possibilities.

  • Highly useful tool

    This app made things possible on my iPad that were only possible on my laptop before. That’s a big step forward in the iOS music world.

  • Outstanding! And useful for non-programmers too!

    This is truly the gift that keeps on giving!! Even if you can’t write a lick of code, there are dozens of amazing scripts available on patchstorage . com that you can just download and run. More scripts appear all the time. It’s like getting an endless stream of free midi apps. If you are comfortable with any level of programming and understand how MIDI is used, then there is a world of possibilities open to you. The manual is outstanding. I’ve seen advanced programmers get frustrated. Mozaic intentionally strikes a balance between simplicity, leanness, and power. You may not like those limitations. Personally, I get it, and don’t try to make of it what it’s not. This is by far one of the best music apps on iOS, by one of the best developers ever.

    I’m an idiot and a jerk for NOT leaving this high tier developer a review sooner. I’ve been into iOS music production for the last year or so. After playing only guitar and piano for half my life, I am now having the most fun I’ve ever had making music on iOS. I had a question on Twitter about how to use the multi outs in Ruismaker (BUY IT) and Bram got back to me in minutes. It was a case of total user oversight. But the developer replied so quickly and so nicely. If you’re on the fence and have some money. Please just purchase. We are spoiled rotten on iOS. Support this developer. The apps get updated ALL of the time. Each one is so different and unique from the other. Each purchase is worth it. Thank you for everything and thank you in advance for your continued work. THANK YOU

  • Game Changer!!!

    If you work with MIDI, you absolutely need this. I don’t usually write reviews for apps but I really felt compelled to do so here. The scripting language is not very difficult to learn and the documentation is remarkably easy to follow. There is a rather active user community and already tons of people have submitted plethora of work which is freely available for download. Don’t even think about it... seriously this has to be the biggest bang for the buck on any app I’ve ever purchased in the App Store. Just get it, you cannot go wrong.

  • Amazing

    Check out Mozaic plugin engine on Audiobus’ Wiki, you’re in for surprise how much has been developed in scripts. 👍
