## What is Lynote?

Draw anything. Hear it as music.

Lynote turns your finger (or Apple Pencil) into an instrument. Sketch a wave, a doodle, a squiggle: left to right is time, higher is a higher note. Every line is snapped to a musical scale, so it always sounds good. No music theory. No wrong notes.

MUSIC THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SONG
Your drawing is the melody. Lynote adds a bass line, chords and a drum groove that match the genre you pick, so a doodle becomes a mini song with a real vibe.

22 GENRES, ONE CANVAS
• 6 genres are free: Lofi / Chill, Ambient, Classical, Disco, Folk and Reggaeton.
• 16 more, including Jazz, Hip-Hop, Pop, Rock, EDM, Trap, Funk, Blues, Country, Reggae, R&B, Afrobeats, Bossa Nova, Synthwave, Metal and Kids / Playtime, are $1.99 each. Buy only the ones you love. One purchase, yours forever. No subscriptions.
• Tap play on any genre to hear it before you buy.

BUILD A WHOLE BAND
Up to 6 tracks, each with its own instrument and color. Mute, solo, rename, turn down or duplicate any track. Piano, vibraphone, kalimba, violin, flute, music box, xylophone, saxophone and more: real sampled instruments, not beeps.

FAMOUS TUNES, DRAWN FOR YOU
Open a sample song such as Ode to Joy, Canon in D or Symphony No. 5, watch it get drawn, then hear it play. Every sample becomes your own copy to edit. All sample songs are in the public domain.

YOUR KEY, YOUR MOOD
Pick any of 12 keys and a scale to change the feeling: bright, dreamy, bluesy or moody. Adjust the tempo and the swing. It still sounds good.

MADE FOR FOCUS AND CHILL
Loop your drawing as a background beat. Music keeps playing with the screen locked, with lock-screen controls and a sleep timer.

RECORD AND SHARE
Record your drawing and its music as a video with a moving wallpaper, save it to Photos and share it in one tap. Or export your creation as a MIDI file or a WAV audio file.

MAKE IT COZY
Animated wallpapers such as a rainy night, starry sky, neon drive, aurora and golden hour, or use a photo of your own.

WORKS WHERE YOU DRAW

• Apple Pencil support and iPad keyboard shortcuts
• Optional iCloud sync for your drawings
