Sound Writer vs MIDILODY

Sound Writer is a 3D virtual music box, which can be played with easy finger gestures. Simply rotate the sphere in the middle of the screen by dragging it with your finger. When the pins on the surface of the sphere hit the "tone comb", sound will be played. You can also change the sound color and the layout of the pins by two finger gestures.
