Create unique rhythms and harmonies with New Path, a 2D Music Sequencer that lets you use colored shapes on a two-dimensional grid. This app is a fun and creative way to make music. You start by picking an instrument for each shape, like squares or triangles, and then you can let them move around. By rotating arrows, you can change their paths, and you can choose from exotic arrow types to add even more variety.

What makes New Path stand out is that shapes can think for themselves. With crossroads and teleports, they will pick their own directions. This means you will get surprising results every time you use the app. You still have control, though, because you can adjust the bias of each crossroad or teleport.

You can dive right in by using the factory sets available. These sets let you play around and have instant fun. Alternatively, you can create your own sets using the various features provided.

Each arrow in New Path has adjustable pitch values, note duration control, and volume settings. Shapes can interpret these values differently. For instance, a shape can add an octave to the pitch it encounters, playing notes one octave higher. This flexibility allows for creative experimentation.

To make your music even richer, you can add delay and reverb effects. New Path has advanced preset systems to help you save and modify your grid. It also uses action triggering rules to determine what happens when shapes meet, adding an extra layer of interaction.

New Path allows for communication with other hardware and software. The MIDI out feature lets you control hardware synthesizers. You can use Ableton Link synchronization to connect and play with Link-enabled devices, making it great for jamming with friends. Additionally, with audiobus integration, you can route both audio and MIDI to other apps on your device, enhancing your music creation.

The app’s interface is designed for both quick editing and live performance editing. You will find surprising results with exotic arrow types like crossroads and teleports. New Path offers you over 70 instruments, including drums, bass, plucked sounds, synths, acoustic tones, and effects.

There's also a MIDI editor that includes a scales system, helping you craft your musical ideas. Useful shape settings like attack, release, and note value multipliers enable you to explore non-western rhythms. A preset system allows you to instantly save and recall grid and shape settings, making your workflow smoother.

New Path features a grid generator that allows for creative modulation. The app includes a mixing interface with options for delay and reverb effects. Each arrow cell is a 5x5 grid containing data like velocity settings, note duration, note value, repeat chance, and crossroad chance. You also have access to nine advanced tutorial resources and example sets to guide you as you get started.

The app supports iCloud device sync, which allows for easy iCloud export/import functionality. You can also make in-app purchases for Arrow Skins or an instrument expansion pack, giving you more options for your musical creations.
