Very interesting app.

Got this because I'm into interesting musical instruments that don't follow the norm. With a bit of practice you can make some good backgrounds that when recorded, can be put through some filters to produce usable content.

Remember, this is an experimental instrument that only gives interesting output, if you are prepared to put in the time.

Crazy Awesome!

This is so much easier to use than it used to be, even for a musical novice! What a marvelous way both to learn about and to play music.

Patented! Wow!

The tech for this app was patented ... In 1995. And guess what! The patent expired today, the release day for the app. It is not even a very good implementation of the tech. Pitch is vaguely related to luminosity. Color seems to be related to instrument somehow, but everything is crammed into preset tempos and scales, which are not related to image at all, throwing out any discernible connection between the sound and the image. There are many many iOS windows MacOs linux apps that do this better, many for free. Save your buck! Try virtualANS for a decent version of what this says on the tin.

Entertaining!!

Very fun and entertaining I love the creative possibilities!! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

All the advertised cool options are in-app purchases

Need to know: All the advertised cool options are in-app purchases

Response from developer

Only MIDI and video is is in-app, all the rest are now included.

Over-rated.

I got excited when I saw all of the 5 star reviews, but I'm starting to think they are all paid/fake reviews. Not impressed. Uninstalling within first 10 minutes of use.

Not worth it

The free version is hopeless. Don't bother. It only has one pic and you can't change anything until you unlock stuff with in app purchases.

Response from developer

There is no longer a free demo version...everything except midi and video comes with the purchase.

No sound.

Doesn't seem to work at all unfortunately. Shame, I was looking forward to playing with it!

Pixound

AMAZING!!

This is such a wonderful app! How fun,, so much that I just gifted it and probably will do so again ! I feel like a musician. :-)

so much fun!

i actually spent hours playing with this app.. its great for relaxation and study breaks

Hours of Fun

This app is very creative and fun. Great for anyone who want to make music. Worth every 99 pennies.

Epic aural app awesomeness

I was amazed the first time I played Pixound on an Amiga and now I'm loving the app. Can't wait to play it on the iPad - I know it will look great in 2x screen mode. My 9 year old is also digging it big time!

Very functional original instrument

This app is very much in the aggregate like an instrument from the future. Like something an alien in the Mos Eisley Cantina would actually play. The reason it is not just another mere sound app is the deepness and complexity of the options. The fact that you can't just jump right in and make meaningful music is a good thing- no real instrument allows you to do that!
Also, the synesthesia element of mixing color with sound also seems futuristic to me, as we slowing creep into a world where our senses meld with digital interfaces and the lines between traditional sensory boundaries begin to blur. Bravo to the developer! I look forward to learning this remarkable device.

Awesome application

I am not a musician but I really enjoy music (and art). I was luck enough to have a chance to use the beta version of this app and found myself enthralled with it. I could create incredible music that was MY music, and could feel the thrill and addiction of being in a jam session. This is an entirely unique application that you need to try to understand.
