## What is PocketTone?

PocketTone is a hand-drawn, retro pocket synthesizer you can play anywhere.

Tap the keys and a tiny lo-fi synth comes to life — complete with a green LCD, slide switches and chunky buttons, all lovingly hand-drawn.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Play five retro voices — Piano, Flute, Violin, Fantasy and Guitar.
• Jam over ten built-in rhythms — March, Rock, Bossa, Samba and more.
• Shape the sound with octave, volume and a melody/rhythm balance.
• Add tape-style Delay and lo-fi Crush effects.
• Record what you play and share the audio with anyone.
• Use the melody memory — Auto-Play, One-Key play and a built-in demo tune.
• Flip to calculator mode… then play the keypad as a melody. The classic pocket-toy party trick, faithfully recreated.

POCKETTONE PRO
A single one-time purchase unlocks everything: all voices, all rhythms, recording & sharing, the melody memory, and the effects. No subscription — yours forever.

Made as a love letter to the pocket musical toys of the 80s. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
