 More DJ effects and OSC banks forthcoming—watch for updates! Customer Review A superb collection of streaming stations! The only thing I would like to see added is some ambient/dark-ambient/soundscape channels, and the ability to use the app in landscape mode. Even without these features, it's a great app! If you are a fan of DubSiren DX this will not disappoint. by zounds23 Electro sounds to modulate =) Nice features with the scope of changing the parameters of all the osc as u play =) Great radio with tons of stations, buy for the waves, Thanks again for another sure-fire mixer #one #fantasykrew by MultiplayerAgency Amazing! These guys are the same guys that did the Dub Siren which is a total classic! Electro Siren is just as fun, it is like mashing up your own personal party! Hands down for these guys are changing how I listen to music! by Ian SF - Version 1.0 - Nov 28, 2013 Awesome app from the makers of Dub Siren! Love this app! Have been waiting for them to make an app utilizing electronic music. The interface is easy and has some great features! A must buy for any club DJ to use in their set. Although, I'm enjoying it from the pleasure of my home. A+ Sawa Digital! by meljunew

You don’t need music theory to finish a song. InkyTune is a digital music sketchbook you can actually play. Draw a line with your finger or Apple Pencil, and your stroke becomes a rhythm- and scale-aware melody. InkyTune then builds matching chords, bass, drums, and atmosphere around it. Finish drawing, tap Play, and hear your idea become a complete arrangement. DRAW YOUR MELODY • Horizontal movement controls time • Vertical movement controls pitch • Even a short tap can create a note • Timing and pitch are shaped into a musical result • The rise, fall, and movement of your original line are preserved • Draw with your finger or Apple Pencil FIND YOUR VIBE Choose from Lo-Fi, Pop, House, Chiptune, Ambient, Jazz, and Synthwave. These are more than visual themes. Every style has its own tempo, groove, drum pattern, chord language, bass movement, sound character, and energy curve. SHAPE THE MUSIC, NOT THE THEORY • Energy: calm to intense • Mood: dark to bright • Complexity: simple to rich These three approachable controls make audible changes to tempo, dynamics, harmony, rhythm density, and arrangement detail—without exposing a complicated mixer or piano roll. KEEP WHAT YOU LOVE Mute, lock, or regenerate individual chord, bass, drum, and atmosphere layers. Lock the parts you like, then try another random seed to explore a new variation. Your drawn melody remains yours. PLAY, SAVE, AND SHARE • Play, pause, stop, and loop • Automatically save and restore your latest project • Create and manage multiple musical sketches • Export real WAV, AIFF, or M4A audio files • Share your finished track with the system share sheet • Designed for both iPhone and iPad Core creation and music generation run directly on your device. No account, cloud service, or internet connection is required. Want to go further? InkyTune includes Doodle Synth and Doodle FX extensions for compatible AUv3 music apps. Save a song’s style, controls, and random seed to the AUv3 Shared Library, then recall its matching sound preset inside either extension. One purchase. No subscription. No in-app purchases. Draw a melody. Make a song.
