## What is VoKey Lite?

Create your own instruments from sounds you record. Make your own Grand Piano, Cat Piano, Dog Piano, Bird Piano or Majestic Bug Piano, or get creative and create something with your own voice. There are no limits.
Record any sound, and play it back on the keyboard as an instrument or using WIFI MIDI and Core MIDI! Record anything and turn it into something musical and creative. For example, record one note from a guitar, and instantly can play any note from that guitar.

VoKey is a powerful, easy to use sampler. Import and export from your computer, manipulate the waveform with the touch screen, timeshift to sync all of the notes when playing chords... Record your performances, and play them back with the most dynamic and versatile piano on the iPad or iPhone.

J'ai souvant des amis à la maison mais seulement un piano électrique . Avec vokey , on a la chance de jouer ensemble sur deux ou autant de piano qu'on veux . Étant compositeur , cela me donne beaucoup d'inspiration . 5 étoiles pour  cette merveille.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

This is a really great application. I like how it lets me alter and play around with recordings right from my phone. I also just upgraded to the non-lite version and would highly recommend it!
