Pianoscaper is a generative music app and virtual instrument that’s easy on the ears and fun to play. Launch the app, and with a single tap of the auto-play button, pianoscaper will create evolving and ambient soundscapes that are unique every time. While all of the pianoscaper sounds originated from acoustic pianos, many have been extensively processed to create an “impossible piano” that can morph between orchestral-type swells and ethereal choir-like sounds. Think of it as piano DNA taken to the next level! Pianoscaper in auto-play mode is the perfect companion for relaxing, studying or providing non-intrusive headphone music at work or on your commute. You can even set a timer so you can fall asleep to its gentle and soothing tones. You can also play pianoscaper as a virtual instrument using the dedicated keypads and performance loop recorders, and tailor the sounds with built-in reverb, delay and “character” effects parameters. And while you’re playing, pianoscaper can lend a hand by adding auto-accompaniment parts and even provides hints for notes it thinks might sound good depending on which notes you play! As a sample-based instrument, pianoscaper currently supports two “moods” - a happy mood, based on the G major pentatonic scale, and a sad mood, based on the Dm pentatonic scale. Please note that pianoscaper is not a chromatic or MIDI-compatible instrument, and it is unlikely to become one, although additional moods and scales may be added as free updates. You can also record and process the audio output of pianoscaper using any Inter-App Audio host that supports IAA Generators. You are free to use pianoscaper in your own recordings or live events and installations on a royalty-free basis. All I would ask for is a simple credit that includes the name of the app - “pianoscaper”. I hope you will agree the pianoscaper interface, while minimalist and a perhaps a little cryptic initially, will eventually become very easy to use. Please do take the time to read the quick-start guide which can be found on the website. This is also the best place to ask questions, get technical support or report any issues. Happy pianoscaping! *** Please note that this app is now in maintenance / bug fixes only mode as it relies on "deprecated" (by Apple) technology such as IAA. ***

Version History Fix (more of a workaround really...) for device orientation messing up layout due to changed APIs (sorry, this has been broken for ages) User sample import no longer supported - (sorry, it's complicated, but I didn't break it...) Updated support URL - so you can let me know about broken things ;-) 1.0.5 01/30/2025 IAA stability improvements. 1.0.4 11/15/2018 Random stuff! Added more playback randomisation - this should be noticeable on longer evolving chord and effect sounds. You may even hear some things you haven’t heard before! Hope you like this little tweak. 1.0.3 11/28/2017 Added random automation to dynamics, piano and sympathetic controls during auto-play for some extra subtle variation. 1.0.2 05/28/2017 Timer bug fix: When the timer expires, pianoscaper will stop all loops and reset auto-accompaniment voice settings to "off". Previously, only auto-play would stop when the timer expired - sorry about that! -Rob 1.0.1 01/19/2017 1.0.0 12/05/2016
