## What is Envau?

Envau turns location and gestures into sound. Place notes, songs, or audio samples anywhere on a map, then activate them by moving through space or swiping across the screen. Create ambient soundscapes that respond to your movement, compose spatial melodies, or use it as a MIDI controller for compatible music apps and hardware.

Perfect for musical walking meditations, soundwalks, location-responsive compositions, or recording journeys as finished tracks.

Built-In Synthesis & Effects
Use the app's internal synthesizers, import or record audio samples, or use both simultaneously. Shape your sound with built-in effects including phaser, chorus, delay, and reverb.

Touch Mode
Switch to touch mode and play your composition by swiping across the screen. Transform the map into a dynamic instrument where gesture and sound unite.

MIDI Controller
Connect Envau to external synthesizers, drum machines, and music apps, all while using internal sounds and samples simultaneously. Your spatial compositions become MIDI data, opening up endless creative possibilities with your existing setup.

Create & Share
Toggle, combine, and share your work in real-time. All active samples and presets are automatically bundled, ensuring your projects load exactly as intended with no broken links or missing assets.
