EtherpadNo keys. No rules. Just touch.
Etherpad abandons the piano keyboard for a fluid, scale-based canvas. Swipe across it to glide through scales; drift up and down to shape the tone itself.
A voice per touch
Every touch sings on its own. Chords bloom under your hand.
Gesture is music
Slide for pitch. Drift for tone. Lift, and it fades like breath.
Always in key
Twelve scales, every key. You can't play a wrong note.
Everywhere
iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android. Even inside Logic and AUM.
Bring your own studio.
AUv3 plug-in
Runs as an instrument inside GarageBand, AUM, and Cubasis.
MIDI in & out
Play it from a keyboard, or route it to other tracks in your host.
Split-screen mode
Two independent synths, side by side, on one iPad. Play a duet with yourself.
Record & share
Capture your performance as you play it, then share it with the world.
A real synthesizer. Not samples.
Every note is synthesized live by Csound — the legendary audio engine trusted by composers for four decades. Different voices, born the moment you touch.

Pitch snaps to the scale you choose — Major, Blues, even microtonal worlds like Bohlen-Pierce and the raw overtone series. The notes between the notes, always in tune.
Open engine, open heart: see how the engine sings.

Thank you so much for updating this fantastic musical instrument that I loved and was still using on stage via the old APK! The new features are great! We finally have visual feedback when selecting settings, and the new Monks sound, in particular, is very inspiring! It's wonderful that you stayed true to the philosophy of the original version.
Wonderful intuitive ethereal instrument. So glad this came back to the app store. Excellent for background ambience as well as haunting melodic bits. Choose your key and jump in.
The Best of sound for music brain 🎉 And new Digital Monk is awesome 😇
Just like the old days. … Thanks for making this!
Cool synths. Quite good for jamming. Would love an option to load custom samples.
It is so easy to interact with this app and I have not had so much fun in a very long time. I really appreciate you and your work. Thank you.
