Pagan: A Music Sequencer for Mobile Creativity

Overview

• Pagan is a compact yet powerful music sequencer specifically designed for mobile devices.

• It provides musicians, composers, and hobbyists with an accessible way to create, arrange, and experiment with musical ideas anytime and anywhere.

• The interface emphasizes clarity and efficiency, using a simple and visually economical notation system that conserves vertical space while remaining intuitive to understand and manipulate.

• Pagan offers a workflow focused on inspiration and immediacy rather than technical complexity, making it ideal for spontaneous composition and experimentation.

Purpose and Design Philosophy

• Pagan was developed with the philosophy of capturing musical ideas quickly before they fade.

• Rather than requiring users to set up instruments or launch a full digital audio workstation (DAW), it allows immediate access to note entry, sequencing, and playback.

• The app’s design encourages musicians to sketch melodies, harmony lines, and rhythmic ideas on the go, then return later to refine or expand upon them.

• This approach supports creative flexibility and reduces the barriers that often interrupt the flow of musical thought.

Key Features

1. Sound and File Compatibility

• Use your own SoundFont (.sf2) to customize instrument tones and textures.

• Import existing MIDI (.mid) files to edit, reorchestrate, or expand older compositions.

• Export your work as MIDI files for use in other production environments.

2. MIDI and Device Integration

• Connect Pagan to external MIDI devices for real-time playback and performance.

• Utilize MIDI output to control synthesizers or other hardware instruments directly.

3. Advanced Musical Capabilities

• Create complex rhythms easily, including polyrhythms and irregular time divisions.

• Explore microtonal intervals and alternative tuning systems for more expressive control.

4. Output and Sharing

• Render your projects into high-quality .wav files for easy sharing or production use.

• Maintain portability so that ideas captured on your device can be developed in any professional setup.

Pagan ultimately combines streamlined design, flexible sound options, and creative freedom, offering a complete, mobile-oriented environment for musical exploration.
