Retro Synth vs Visual Metronome

Play a real pocket stylophone — then plug it straight into GarageBand. Retro Synth · Syntophone turns your device into a vintage touch-keyboard synthesizer, and now works as an AUv3 instrument inside GarageBand, Logic Pro, and AUM. Slide your finger across the keys and a warm, authentic square-wave synth comes to life. Learn built-in songs with light-up "follow the key" tutorials, record your ideas, and drop the instrument into your favorite music app — all from one tiny synth. Like the original, it plays one note at a time: one stylus, one note. Curious about Pro? Tap any locked sound and hear it free for 30 seconds. FREE FEATURES (Included at no cost): • Authentic Vintage Sound: faithfully recreates that iconic square-wave tone with modern precision. • Song Mode: learn songs with light-up "follow the key" tutorials, hold-to-repeat for repeated notes, and a star rating when you finish (2 songs free). • My Recordings: a full library to play back, rename, share, and delete your takes. • Metronome: a sample-accurate click with adjustable BPM and an accented downbeat to keep you in time. • AUv3 Instrument: use Syntophone as a plug-in inside GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM and other AUv3 hosts. • Sound Controls: shape your tone from thin and bright to thick and warm, and add expression with vibrato. • Real-time Response: instant, zero-latency audio as you play. • Clean, minimalist design inspired by vintage hardware. SYNTOPHONE PRO (subscription): Upgrade to unlock the full studio: • Premium Waveforms: Sine, Sawtooth, and Triangle. • Studio Effects: high-quality Reverb and Delay. • Pro Sound Panel: a second detuned oscillator for a fatter analog tone, hands-on delay time & feedback controls, and live MIDI output — play GarageBand and other synth apps as a virtual MIDI keyboard. • 12 more built-in songs to learn. • MIDI Export: save and share your recordings as .mid files. WHY SYNTOPHONE? No setup, no menus to fight — open the app and make music immediately. Then, when you're ready, it becomes a plug-in in your studio.

See the beat while you practice. Visual Metronome pairs a clear tempo control with 19 animated rhythm scenes, from a classic pendulum to ripples, rings and a pulse orb. PRACTICE AT YOUR PACE Set a tempo from 30 to 300 BPM using the tempo ruler, plus and minus controls, direct number entry, or tap tempo. Choose 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 or 6/8, with quarter notes, eighths, triplets or sixteenths. MAKE THE BEAT YOURS Choose a click sound, adjust volume, and set individual beats to normal, accented or silent. Build a rhythm in the multi-track pattern editor. Mute the click while keeping the visual beat, or enable a haptic pulse on supported devices. BUILD A PRACTICE ROUTINE Use the tempo trainer to move toward a target BPM and the gap trainer to alternate audible and silent bars. Save tempo, meter, accents and sound as presets for your next session. FOCUS ON THE RHYTHM Open a visualizer fullscreen and keep the display awake during playback. Adjust audio delay compensation for your listening setup. No account is required. Settings and presets are stored on your device.
