Developer Cem Olcay let us know about their latest app, Textquencer, an iOS app that converts text into MIDI.

Just write or paste some text and Textquencer will convert the text to MIDI. Each letter will be a note in the scale you are using.

Like example, in C-major scale:

Letter A (index = 1) is Note C (first note in the scale)

Letter B (index = 2) is Note D (second note in the scale)

Letter C (index = 3) is Note E (third note in the scale)

Letter H (index = 8) is Note C but an octave higher, and so on.

In addition, you can also create custom character mapping for emojis, non-English letters, punctuation and symbols. A custom character can mapped to a specific MIDI note or a specific note in the scale, like the first note in the scale, the third note in the scale etc.

Unless a character is custom mapped, a letter in English alphabet or a number, it will be a rest in the sequencer.

And, you can also randomize the velocity and gate lengths in each step if you want. You can enable it on the settings menu and set a randomization min-max range.

*Note: Textquencer is a MIDI app and does not create any sound on its own. You need to route Textquencer’s MIDI output to your audio app’s MIDI input. The standalone app supports Ableton Link. For using the AUv3 plugin, you need an AUv3 host app such as AUM, Cubase, Nanostudio etc.

Textquencer is available now for $4.99.

Here is another extended audio demo, via Perfect Circuit, of the new Sequential Trigon-6 Synthesizer.  

“It’ll make a great choice for any keyboardist looking for a quality analog synth that covers a lot of ground, especially those who need an instrument that will hold up to the rigors of touring/performing life. For studios looking for a fresh take on a Moog-like sound, it’ll easily meet and exceed their needs,” they note in their review. “But best of all, it truly does open up its own unique avenues of exploration: sounds with deep modulation, drifting Vintage detuned textures, bone-rattling unison bass sounds, whistling overtones, and just absolutely solid leads and chord tones. Sequential has already proven that the analog polyphonic synthesizer as a concept has plenty of room for instrument-by-instrument variation; and now, the Trigon-6 pushes new boundaries in this otherwise familiar paradigm.

Trigon-6 is a new 6-voice analog synth that offers the company’s take on the classic Moog 3-VCO-plus-ladder-filter tone, in a modern polyphonic instrument design. It was the last design that the late company founder Dave Smith contributed to.
