## What is SphereTones?

SphereTones is a visual instrument. In contrast to traditional composition methods this approach places intuition, randomness, playfulness in the focus of attention.

The body of the instrument is the interface itself. The graphic is minimalistic and 100% functional. Here every line has a meaning. What you can see you can hear and it is true for the other way around as well. The interface is the fusion of sound and image. The system organically changes as the user plays, it balances between order and chaos.

### 3/5 — Not worth the price

*2018-02-19, version 1.1*

This app is pretty good but it's not worth the price.

### 3/5 — This could easily be a favorite

*2017-11-21, version 1.0*

I first want to compliment the dev; as an instrument, thanks, I love it. It's simple, intuitive, fluid, organic and as deep as you want it to be. 

Where it lacks for this price though, is Audiobus/IAA/AUE/AbletonLink support. These are a must-have in order for me to use it in my regular workflow. Some bonus features that would make it worth a little more would be the ability to use your own samples and/or have midi out. If all that was implemented, I could see this easily becoming my go-to percussion choice.

### 5/5 — Fun, Generative, Controllable, did I say Fun?

*2017-03-22, version 1.0*

Title said mostly all. Well worth the price for a nice app. Sounds are a tad limited but using something like Melodyne to extract timing and pitch to MIDI opens up a lot of possibilities. 

Would dock a half star as the screen only fills half of my iPad but I'm sure that can be fixed by the creator of the app. Nice work. Looking forward to trying your other apps
