Riffer Madness

Brainstorm music: capture your instrument or voice as ideas come and explore how they fit together with an efficient beat first approach to audio clipping, arranging, and low latency mixing. This is not a DAW. Instead, Riffer Madness inspires the creative workflow before it is time to record the final master.

Explore:
• The Library: manage and preview all your creations in one spot
• Recorder: trigger the microphone to capture audio of your instrument or voice
• Riff Editor: assign a BPM and clip audio to exact beats
• Composition Canvas: arrange Riffs and Compositions over beat lines

Concepts:
• Riff: Clipped audio with a configurable BPM
• Composition: Musical slots arranged on a 10 minute canvas of beat lines (Compositions can be nested within other Compositions)
• Slot: either a Riff or a Composition

Features:
• Playback with integrated metronome - preview as you work
• Tools for metadata management - use tags to stay organized
