## What is Nimbus Synth?

Nimbus Synth is an ambient instrument you play by moving.

No keys, no piano roll, no menus to learn. Tilt your phone, drag a finger across the screen, and slow, evolving drones grow out of the motion. Every gesture shapes the sound in real time.

SIX VOICES
Layer up to six ambient timbres: Sub Drone, Warm Pad, Glass, Air, Metallic, Cello Dark, each with its own character, sculpted through tilt and touch.

ALWAYS IN KEY
Seven scale modes and note-exclusion keep whatever you play in tune with itself. No wrong notes.

LOOP AND LAYER
Record a phrase, loop it, and keep playing on top. Quantize to tempo, add a metronome with time signatures and subdivisions, and build a piece one layer at a time.

SAVE YOUR IDEAS
Keep a library of recordings and slot presets to return to later.

NIMBUS SYNTH PRO
A one-time unlock, no subscription:
• Unlimited saved ideas and presets
• Export recordings as WAV and MIDI (free tier exports MP3)

Made for headphones, a quiet room, and a phone in your hand.
