## What is Monovista?

Monovista is a creative experience for your eyes and ears. Part music-making, part visual reverie. 

For your ears: Play four different instruments: 3 synthesizers and 1 drum machine. Loop each of them, add to the loops over time, and erase a loop when it's time for a change. Each instrument has its own idiosyncrasies, which you'll discover as you play with them.

For your eyes: Monovista produces a wide variety of colorful, entrancing, and surprising animations, which you control and interact with at the same time as you're making music.

I highly recommend hooking it up to some headphones, or loud speakers!

### 1/5 — I hate this app

*2025-12-07, version 1.1*

So first of all my mom saw me playing it and started disowning me and then i aborted my baby! This app ruins your life

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2023-06-23, version 1.1*

Really cool app

### 5/5 — liquid goo

*2023-01-24, version 1.1*

if you like making goo then then this the app for yoe.

### 5/5 — 🤯🤯🤯🤯😳😳🫠👽

*2022-08-12, version 1.1*

Mind blown! I’m just pushing and dragging buttons around the screen! Talk about Experimental Art & Music!! I’ve only played with it for less than an hour, and posted some vids! This app is Crazy! I’ve taken a ton of psychedelics in my youth, but No Drugs Needed here!

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2022-04-02, version 1.1*

This app is genius. It’s simple and intuitive enough to learn by doing, and will have you creating some seriously glitchy dirty loops and visuals in no time. Check it out!

### 5/5 — Synth Plus Conway's Game of Life = trippy fun!

*2021-09-10, version 1.1*

Took me a bit to recognized that the visuals are essentially Conway's Game of Life with a color component, but once I did it became even more awesome! Really awesome seeing all the different patterns you can make, some will go forever (we assume but can't be mathematically proven) and some just stop dead. Have spent hours playing with the game of life on its own in a boring grid with no music so this just elevates it even further, and the beats sync perfectly with it. Very fun! Will definitely come back to this.

### 5/5 — trippiest app on the internet

*2021-08-13, version 1.1*

!!!!

### 5/5 — So much Fun

*2021-07-29, version 1.1*

But I posted one of my performances to Facebook and it immediately got blocked by someone named Telugu Filmnagar because 10 seconds of it sounded like something he created. Seriously. Just wanted to warn people…don’t dare share your creativity in this app to the world because Telugu Filmnagar thinks he owns the music.

### 5/5 — Completely stunned

*2021-05-06, version 1.1*

This is by far the most amazing free music app you can get which pairs itself also with video synthesis. SUPER WOW! I had fun on this for too long this morning and got a good understanding of it. 

My recommendations would be first off, I’ve had a few crashes and I’m on iPhone 12 max pro. Second, you should make a video synthesis app solo with more controls. This is a powerful function of the app and if I had to guess you are well within your capabilities to expand on that function. Could maybe add modulations and input sources, idk. You did an amazing job. Third, would be different tones or patches we could use. It would be really awesome if I could run music I’ve already created through a video synth you’ve made where maybe the different spectrums cause modulations in the video. 

Aside from all that you should pat yourself on the back. Really. This. Is. Extraordinary!

All of the first reviews have all been 5 stars 🌟

### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant

*2021-02-24, version 1.1*

The only thing that could improve about this would be a better sound for the “lead” MIDI. Those beeps and boops sometimes leave a lot to be desired. Mind you other times they’re perfect for the overall composition one may have playing. 
Aside from that I really derive a lot of joy and wonderment from this application. I think it has a lot of potential yet to even be tapped either by myself or the creators of the application. 
Really great stuff.
