About

Wavebender turns your iPhone into an instrument you play in the air — like a real theremin, but in your pocket. Hold your phone in landscape. Your right hand sweeps pitch left and right. Your left hand controls volume — raise it for more sound. No screen touches while you play. BUILT FOR MUSICIANS • Continuous pitch with scale snap — from pure theremin to locked pentatonics • Minor pentatonic, blues, harmonic minor, and more • Pinch the stage to zoom your pitch range; pan to shift the starting note • Play-space calibration maps the ruler to your reach • Pitch-hand height adds expressive vibrato • Triangle, sine, saw, and FM voices with hall reverb • Motion prediction and smoothing tuned for playable latency STUDIO OUTPUT • Sends MPE MIDI to your DAW or hardware — over USB to a Mac, a network MIDI session, or a MIDI interface • Continuous pitch bend and expressive control — no extra purchase required HONEST ENGINEERING • Front-camera hand tracking runs on device — video never leaves your phone • TrueDepth distance readouts on supported iPhones • Bluetooth audio warning when latency would ruin the feel • Landscape play designed for iPhone A serious pocket instrument — not a touch toy. Requires a front-facing camera and good lighting on your hands.

Play in the dark • Stage lamp: in a dim room, Wavebender can light up the stage and turn your screen to full brightness so it lights your hands. Turn it on from the low-light prompt or in Controls. • Better low-light tracking: dark camera frames are brightened before your hands are detected. • Depth play: on Face ID iPhones, the depth camera can find your hands and play a note even when the room is too dark for the camera to see them. It's coarser than normal tracking. • New light/dark theme key on the stage, next to Record.
