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.

What's New in Wavebender

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.
