Ink Audio – Ink Steel

🎸 Ink Steel: Elevate Your Sound with Modern Pedal Steel Vibes 🎶

Inspired by legendary pedal steel players like Daniel Lanois, Russ Pahl, and BJ Cole, Ink Steel brings a fresh, unique twist to your sound palette. Perfect for singer/songwriters, Americana, ambient music, or what Brian Eno dubs ‘zero-gravity country music,’ Ink Steel is designed to ignite your creativity with ease and fun! 🎧

🔧 How It Works
Ink Steel features 8 distinct chord sets and 4 single-note sets, which can be selected directly via the on-screen interface or key-switched from your MIDI keyboard. With each chord set, the pitch bend responds in a natural, smooth manner—just like a pedal steel! 🌟

In the chord sets, the white keys represent diatonic chords, while the black keys offer other common chords, including variations like 1 variation, 2, 4 minor, #5 diminished, and b7. 🎶

For the single-note sets, the white keys map to the major scale, while the black keys are duplicate notes from the scale that remain unaffected by pitch bend, perfect for adding movement and tension to your compositions. Combine pitch-bending and non-bending keys to create unique and evolving soundscapes. 🌌

Need to tweak your tones? Transpose your chord sets and single-note options effortlessly using the intuitive arrows in the user interface. 🔄
