What makes SoundPrism unique is that movement up and down or side to side causes the chords you play to move through different inversions or to change octaves, all while remaining harmonically relevant to the bass key you’re playing. You can set the app to play only the root you touch, the root and third above it, or the root, third and fifth, and you can play them in one, two, or three octaves at a time for up to nine notes at once from a single touch, plus the bass note. That makes for some walloping-big chords! You can scroll the entire screen up or down through the circle of fifths so as to be able to play in any major or minor key; the arrangement by thirds means that you actually have interleaved circles of major and minor keys that are harmonically related, laid out so transitions are easy and musically useful. SoundPrism lets you record and share your playing via email or AudioCopy/AudioPaste. It comes with four sounds and you can add four more for free once you get the app (they do this to show you how the in-app Store works); further soundpacks are available as in-app purchases for $1.99 each. The sounds tend to be big and dramatic with lots of reverb and echo, very inspiring to play. You’ll find yourself ripping through chord progressions in no time, aided by the exceptional web-based manual and tutorial videos offered by Audanika. If you like the SoundPrism interface and want to see how far you can take it, consider SoundPrism Pro. It adds keyboard transposition by half steps for each individual row to customize chords; accelerometer expression control so you can tilt your device to send MIDI messages; an extensive MIDI implementation to use SoundPrism to play your computer’s plug-ins as a controller over USB or Wi-Fi; and even control of other music apps playing in the
background. That last feature is slowly being added to other apps in cooperation with their makers, starting with NLog Synth Pro by Tempo Rubato, Sunrizer by BeepStreet, and SampleWiz by Jordan Rudess’s Wizdom Music; we hope to review some or all of these titles soon and check how this function works for ourselves. If you’ve never tried an iOS app that’s designed to offer new approaches to playing with a non-traditional interface, you owe it to yourself to give SoundPrism a try. It’s fun and it’s free, and it may get you thinking about chord structures and songwriting in a whole new way.
