Tapestra turns your phone into a pocket band. ONE-FINGER ACCOMPANIMENT Pick a style — pop, funk, ballad, bossa nova, swing, waltz, slow rock, disco — hold a chord and the band plays: intro, two main grooves, fills, break and ending, switched live like a real arranger keyboard. PADS & KITS 16 velocity-sensitive pads with acoustic, electronic and percussion kits. Edit any pad: sound, pitch, pan, choke groups. PIANO & DRAWBAR ORGAN A 128-voice General MIDI piano/synth with 100+ presets, and a tonewheel organ with nine drawbars, percussion and a rotary speaker you can speed up mid-phrase. STEP SEQUENCER 16-step drum sequencer with swing, per-step velocity and pattern chaining — build a beat while you play on top. STUDIO EFFECTS 5-band EQ, compressor, pitch shifter, flanger, ping-pong delay, reverb and bass boost on the master bus, each with hands-on knobs. RECORD & SHARE Record the mix to WAV with the built-in metronome and share it anywhere. Open the demo song to see what a two-minute performance looks like. BUILT FOR PLAYING One native audio engine on iPhone and iPad, 48 kHz / 5 ms latency, works fully offline, no account needed. Tapestra Pro is optional. Weekly (3-day free trial) and monthly plans are auto-renewing subscriptions billed to your Apple ID; they renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period and can be managed in your App Store account settings. The lifetime unlock is a one-time purchase. Privacy Policy: https://www.ngmob.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.ngmob.com/terms
