BounceBud is a unique physics-based MIDI sequencer that allows you to create music in an exciting and interactive way. Each side of the app features a customizable keyboard that sends a MIDI note when a ball collides with its key. This makes making music fun and hands-on.

On the main screen, you can easily manage ball count control, ball speed adjustment, and ball size. These settings give you the power to shape how your music sounds. If you dive into the settings menu, you will find options for keyboard velocity range, MIDI channel settings, and key scale customization. You can even specify notes individually for each keyboard, which adds a personal touch to your music. Plus, all keyboards share the same key/scale, which can be adjusted easily with the integration of BrainBud.

Each keyboard in BounceBud has its own MIDI output, allowing you to connect and play different audio apps at the same time. If you don’t want to use all sides of the keyboard, you can simply disable the ones you don’t need, making it easier to focus on your creative music sequencing.

BounceBud also supports MIDI input. This means you can connect a MIDI keyboard or another MIDI sequencer app to 'shoot walls' from the keyboards. The balls can then interact with these walls, introducing randomness in sequences that keeps your music fresh and interesting. You can control the behavior of each keyboard by assigning different MIDI input channels in the settings menu. This opens up possibilities for multi-keyboard usage and helps you explore new sounds.

You can toggle the collision behavior in BounceBud’s settings. This lets you decide whether balls can collide with each other. Each choice creates new and exciting music sequences every time you play. You can also adjust ball size variety and ball speed randomization in the ball settings section, which further enriches your musical experience. Additionally, the app allows for color theme customization, letting you pick a visual style that suits your creativity.

It’s important to note that BounceBud is a MIDI app and does not produce any sound on its own. To hear your creations, you need to route BounceBud's MIDI outputs to your audio app's MIDI input. BounceBud also comes with AUv3 plugin compatibility, so you can use it with various AUv3 host apps, such as AUM, Loopy Pro, Logic Pro, Cubasis, Nanostudio, and apeMatrix.

In summary, BounceBud stands out as a generative music app, combining easy-to-use features with engaging mechanics. Whether you’re a seasoned musician or just starting, BounceBud offers a playful approach to music creation that inspires creativity and exploration.
