## What is Drawtone?

Draw a mountain. Hear a sound climb its slope, rest a moment at the top, then come slowly down.

You don't need to read music. In Drawtone, music starts with a line: drag a finger across the paper and it plays before the line is even finished. Whatever you draw is in tune; every line lands in the scale you chose.

A long line is one long sound. Not a stutter of beeps; a sound that lasts like a breath and bends wherever your line bends.

COLOUR IS THE SOUND
A warm colour strikes like a string. A cool colour stretches like a bow. Six voices, six colours; stack them up and they never drown each other, each stays in its own place.

OPEN A WATERFALL, THEN DRAW YOUR OWN
Fifty drawings from nature are waiting inside. The waterfall is a marimba pouring down. The fireflies are single touches lighting up in the dark. The crane is one long line in Nihavend. Open one, listen, leave your own line on it. Your own drawing is not lost: undo brings it back, key and tempo included.

DRAW HICAZ
Hicaz, Uşşak, Nihavend, Hüzzam, Saba: the Turkish makams sit in the same list as the Western scales, not hidden in a submenu. The same line is a morning in Lydian and an evening in Hüzzam.

THE PULSE
The dot in the header beats with what you hear. Tap it: tempo, rhythm, swing. If you like, a light drum kit holds the floor underneath. Off by default; the first thing you should hear is your own line.

SEND IT TO SOMEONE
Share what you drew as WAV, or take it as MIDI and grow it in any other music app.

No account, no ads, nothing to unlock. Every scale, every voice, every export is included. Works without internet. 19 languages.

Draw a line. The rest follows.

### 5/5 — beautiful but missing auv3

*2026-09-24*

Pls include Auv3 support in the future! this app is so much fun. 
also more scales and microtonality would be awesome. and a sequencer tomdraw more than one picture.

**Developer response:** Thank you, this made our week. You asked for exactly what 1.1.0 brings, and it's on its way to the App Store now:

• AUv3: Drawtone loads as an instrument in GarageBand, AUM and Logic and plays your drawings in time with the host.
• Microtonality: makams now use their real 53-comma intervals, with quarter-tone Arabic maqams and Japanese tunings alongside.
• More scales: 25 in all.
• Pages: a piece can be several pictures, played one after another.

Drawtone is made by a very small team, and reviews like yours are what keep it going. If you know one person who would enjoy drawing music, showing them the app is the best support we could ask for.

If anything in 1.1.0 doesn't feel right in your setup, write to loopiosoftware@gmail.com and we'll fix it.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-29

Drawtone 1.1 is the update you asked for.

Draw more than one picture. A piece can now be several pages, played one after another. Add a page below the paper, drag to reorder, and build a whole tune out of bars you can see.

Play it inside GarageBand, AUM or Logic. Drawtone is now an Audio Unit: your drawings load as an instrument and follow the host's tempo, so a line you drew on the sofa can sit in a session next to real instruments.

Hear the makams properly. Rast, Uşşak, Hüseynî, Hicaz, Nihavend, Hüzzam, Sabâ, Karcığar and Nikriz now play in their real 53-comma intervals, not piano approximations. Alongside them: Arabic maqams in quarter tones, Japanese koto tunings and a major scale in pure ratios. Twenty-five scales in all, and every one keeps whatever you draw in tune.

Never lose a drawing. Everything you draw is kept as you draw it, with no save button. Find it under Get inspired → Yours, name it by tapping the title, and come back to it any day.

Share it as a video. Export your drawing as it plays, with sound, straight to Photos, ready for a message or a story.

MIDI export now carries microtonal pitch as pitch bend, so your other apps hear exactly what you heard.

If Drawtone has earned a moment of yours, a rating helps a small team more than you'd think.
