Response from developer

Thanks for checking out Handpan Sim! We're preparing a completely renewed version with 63 scales, two handpans, a looper and recording. Thank you for your patience 🎶

Needs Bluetooth MIDI

Needs Bluetooth MIDI

Response from developer

Thanks for the suggestion! Bluetooth MIDI support would be valuable for many players, and we’ve noted it for evaluation as we continue improving Handpan Sim.

Definitely the best sound

I also like the keyboard option. Perhaps though, the ability to have a full screen for each option rather than both sharing the screen. And an ability to change the scale. Maybe make that a special feature for the paid version. I’d certainly buy it if you could sort those issues out.

Otherwise, superb.

Response from developer

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We're glad you enjoy the sound. The renewed Handpan Sim we're preparing lets you choose from 63 scales and transpose the Ding. We've also noted your idea of separate full-screen views.

Notes

I wish there was a way to modify (change, add) the notes in the handpan.

Response from developer

Thank you for the suggestion! Handpan Sim 2.0 is now available with 63 scales, and you can move the Ding up or down to play any scale in the key you want.
