Meteaure Studios has recently announced that its minimalist music-making app is now available both Android and iOS.
Built to bring the directness of hardware to the mobile format, Polaris is designed for immediacy, featuring a 16-step grid which allows you to go from a blank slate to a finished sequence in seconds, eliminating the menu-diving and complexity of a traditional DAW.
Polaris is an intuitive musical sketch pad tailored for phones and tablets so you can capture your ideas on the go. The design philosophy is simple: provide the essentials in an accessible, but powerful format to get ideas down whenever and wherever inspiration strikes. The end result is a music production app that allows you to skip the complicated learning curve of traditional Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) so you can get to the fun part sooner.
Polaris features
- Sequencing logic: 4×4 grid architecture with polymetric capabilities (independent per-track rates) and trig conditions (1:2, 1:4).
- Step modulation: per-step parameter locking for pitch, cutoff, volume, and decay.
- Evolving patterns: seamless pattern chaining up to 128 steps per track.
- Hybrid engine: features a dual-oscillator synth and a sampler with user import and 75 factory sounds.
- Signal path: dedicated multimode filter and distortion per track, plus global stereo reverb/delay sends.
- Loop factory: built-in real-time recorder for exporting perfectly-cut, ready-to-use audio loops.
Polaris is now available for Android and iOS/AUv3, priced $4.99 USD / €5.99 EUR.
