Draw a mountain. Hear a sound climb its slope, rest a moment at the top, then come slowly down. You don't need to read music. In Drawtone, music starts with a line: drag a finger across the paper and it plays before the line is even finished. Whatever you draw is in tune; every line lands in the scale you chose. A long line is one long sound. Not a stutter of beeps; a sound that lasts like a breath and bends wherever your line bends. COLOUR IS THE SOUND A warm colour strikes like a string. A cool colour stretches like a bow. Six voices, six colours; stack them up and they never drown each other, each stays in its own place. OPEN A WATERFALL, THEN DRAW YOUR OWN Fifty drawings from nature are waiting inside. The waterfall is a marimba pouring down. The fireflies are single touches lighting up in the dark. The crane is one long line in Nihavend. Open one, listen, leave your own line on it. Your own drawing is not lost: undo brings it back, key and tempo included. DRAW HICAZ Hicaz, Uşşak, Nihavend, Hüzzam, Saba: the Turkish makams sit in the same list as the Western scales, not hidden in a submenu. The same line is a morning in Lydian and an evening in Hüzzam. THE PULSE The dot in the header beats with what you hear. Tap it: tempo, rhythm, swing. If you like, a light drum kit holds the floor underneath. Off by default; the first thing you should hear is your own line. SEND IT TO SOMEONE Share what you drew as WAV, or take it as MIDI and grow it in any other music app. No account, no ads, nothing to unlock. Every scale, every voice, every export is included. Works without internet. 19 languages. Draw a line. The rest follows.

The call

NoiseFace's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
