## What is yawp?

yawp is an instrument made of loops.

Draw a hill over a voice's line and the machine sows the notes. Every voice is a loop with its own length, so the loops drift apart and come back — minimal techno and ambient fall out of that drift on their own. There is no wrong way to draw a hill.

TWENTY-TWO VOICES, ALL SYNTHESIZED
A felt kick, a brushed clap, delicate hats, a walking electric bass, a felt piano, soft minor chords, vocal chops cut from an imagined take, a tine piano whose long tails stack into chords nobody wrote, an octave organ, a tape-hungry wash, a pluck that scatters light, and more. No samples anywhere — the whole app is synthesized live, loads instantly, and works offline.

THE DICE
Every launch opens on a fresh throw: the die deals the band one piece of music with a section in mind — an open groove, a thinned intro, a break, or the strict sixteenth hand. Keep what you like, redraw the rest.

SCENES
Watch the song as moving line art: a beacon on a plain, a sea behind glass, breathing tissue, a vessel of light. Swipe to the next one. Watching only — the music does the moving.

PLAY IT FROM HARDWARE
Plug in a MIDI controller: knobs ride the macros and the tempo, pads mute voices and launch your kept sets on the next bar, keys set the song's key or play notes into a loop. yawp sends every note and its clock out over MIDI, too.

HAND IT ON
Keep sets with their band, mix and key. Share a set as the stereo mix, a stem for every voice and one MIDI file — 32 bars from the same downbeat, ready to drop into any DAW.

AND
· tap a step to pin or silence it
· drag a loop's end to change its length — odd meters are the same gesture
· record up to ten seconds of anything — the mic, a headset or an audio interface — and chop it into an instrument
· retune the whole song like a tuner (yawp · key A)
· mix with hairline faders, mute and solo
· record up to ten minutes of the mix and keep the take

Most voices and scenes are free. Packs of two voices are one-time purchases, never a subscription. yawp complete unlocks everything — and every pack to come.
