## What is tono?

tono is a pocket music studio inspired by classic portable synths. Play, sample, loop — all in one screen.

SYNTH
• 9 engines: digital, FM, pulse, string, cluster, phase, voltage, DNA and a sampler
• ADSR envelope, LFO (vibrato, tremolo, wah, pan) and 6 effects: delay, reverb, drive, bit crusher, chorus, telephone
• Presets plus your own saved sounds
• Arpeggiator with 4 modes and a 16-step sequencer

SAMPLER
• Record your voice or any instrument from the microphone — raw, without processing
• Resample everything that plays in tono
• Play the sample across the keyboard, trim start and end, loop it, tune and filter it
• Import WAV, MP3 and M4A files

DRUMS
• 13 synthesized drum pads you can shape by pitch, decay and tone
• Record your own sounds into any pad

LOOP TAPE
• 4 stereo tracks with overdub layers
• Loop length in bars with a count-in, or free length
• Varispeed and reverse, mute and pan per track, undo
• Import audio onto a track
• Export the mix as a WAV file

IPHONE DUO
• Fold it like a laptop: the screen and knobs above the fold, the keys below
• Unfolded flat, a full two-octave layout
• Hinge wah: the opening angle sweeps a filter as you play

tono is free. Everything stays on your device: no account, no ads, no tracking.
