Musicians and producers looking for a fast and easy way to generate music ideas will be thrilled with AIR Music Technology Ignite, an all-in-one music creation software well suited for multi-instrumentalists at any experience level, from novice to expert.
The software allows you to record audio and MIDI performances in a fast and intuitive way and arrange your ideas into complete songs. Export the audio and MIDI or import it into your favorite DAW to finish your tracks. Ignite includes over 275 instruments developed by AIR Music Technology, including keyboards, drums, percussion, basses, guitars, synths, strings, brass, and woodwinds.
Ignite supports two tracks of simultaneous audio recording, such as guitar and voice, a stereo workstation, bass and guitar, etc. Effects can be added to any audio track, and time stretching is provided by Radius from iZotope, allowing you to change the tempo of your ideas without issue. The software also includes Smart MIDI technology to help you generate ideas and enhance your music making skills. The Chord Player generates a chord pattern from a single key, while the Phrase Player can provide a single-voice line to add to your composition. An advanced arpeggiator plays held notes individually, either as a musical flourish or in a rhythmic pattern.
Ignite provides seamless integration with any supported keyboard or controller. Once detected, all controls are automatically mapped. Swap between different controllers, and all controls are automatically updated and remapped. Ignite is Mac and Windows compatible and works as standalone software or within most major DAWs as a AAX, AU, or VST plug-in.
- MIDI Learn Mode maps Ignite 1.4.1 to your favorite keyboard controller
- Numerous optimizations
- Capture your ideas quickly and make music without getting bogged down with technical jargon and complicated steps.
- Record vocals, guitar, or any audio input source. Ignite supports stereo audio recording and playback using ASIO, Core Audio and WASAPI audio interfaces.
- Individual musical ideas are captured as phrases and are placed in the Arranger. The Arranger is an organic stage where you can organize your music ideas and phrases in whatever way make sense to you.
- Clips can be any length, and don't have to be aligned into a pre-determined structure (such as tracks and lanes). Multiple Clips can be played back together, or even grouped to create more complex phrases and song sections.
- Clips and Multi-Clips can be quickly duplicated in the Arranger using a few simple commands, making it easier to experiment and audition new ideas.
- Ignite will instantly recognize any Ignite-supported keyboard controller from Alesis, AKAI Professional, or M-Audio once it is connected to your computer.
- Key parameters will be automatically assigned or mapped to the front panel controllers. The on-screen image labels the controllers with their current parameters, providing visual reminders.
- Included with Ignite are over 275 remarkable instrument sounds developed by AIR Music Technology. This international team also created the acclaimed Hybrid, Strike, Transfer, Structure, and Velvet instruments for Pro Tools—the industry-standard professional music and audio workstation.

- Smart MIDI technology provides both Chord and Phrase players.
- The Chord player plays a chord pattern using either simple or advanced voicings.
- The Phrase player can be used to deliver a single-voice melodic phrase or even a drum pattern depending on the instrument selected.
