Been saving up for that Hang, but don't have quite enough yet? You can get busy on our version of the infamous steel instrument. Start it up, bang away, even record your own loop to play along with. So authentic, your friends will think yours has already arrived. Fill them in on the secret, and they too can download and record their own creations. Do I hear a "Hang out"??? Features include: * Audiobus 2 support including state saving * 45 tunings including microtonal tunings * Sounds sampled from actual instrument * Loop recording and playback Little bit of information about the Hang ... The Hang is a steel percussion instrument that is typically played using the hands and fingers while it rests in the musician's lap. It was developed in Switzerland in 2000 by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer. There are currently 5 generation models. Ours is a first generation Hang that defaults to the Aeolian tuning with a D3 central note and a A3 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 A4 tone loop. The eight notes are arranged in a 'Tone Circle' that zig-zag from low to high and are harmonically tuned around the low 'Ding' note in the center. Select from 45 tunings including microtonal tunings. These various tunings can be mixed into loops that are being constructed. Many thanks and kudos to Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer for creating such a unique, elegant, and fun instrument. For more information about the origin of the Hang, to hear some sound samples, or just to see someone kickin' it, visit one of the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_(instrument) http://www.hangdrum.info The loop recording in all of the OddTunes apps is roughly modelled after the Gibson / Oberheim Echoplex Digital Pro. While there are only a few buttons, there is much more functionality there than meets the eye.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Tuner T1 at Free against OddTunes's $0.99. Tuner T1 also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 39). OddTunes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.0). On review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Tuner T1 is free to download; OddTunes costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tuner T1 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tuner T1 has 11K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of OddTunes's written reviews are positive against 62% of Tuner T1's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OddTunes ships an update every 4 months, Tuner T1 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
