ToneWright is a music workshop in your pocket: warm wooden rooms, one instrument in each, and everything plays the moment you touch it. NINE REAL INSTRUMENTS Every one is built from recordings of the real thing, and laid out the way the real thing is played. Resize the keys, retune the strings, make it fit your hands. β€’ Piano, with pedal, scales and arpeggios β€’ Drums, a full kit with hi-hat pedal and cymbal choke β€’ Guitar, strum or pick, bend the strings and let them ring β€’ Kalimba, 17 or 21 clear singing tines β€’ Handpan, hammered steel tuned to gentle scales β€’ Violin, four bowed strings β€’ Xylophone, with rolls and glissandos β€’ Guzheng, 21 strings you can press and bend β€’ Accordion, three reed voices and breathing bellows LEAD A BAND The Percussion Band puts a small animated rhythm section on stage. Samba, salsa, folk and toybox kits, and the players really strike what you hear. Draw a groove on the grid, press play, watch them work. CONDUCT AN ORCHESTRA Raise the baton and lead winds, brass, strings and timpani through real conducting patterns. Your hand keeps the time. The orchestra follows it, faster or slower, louder or softer. LEARN A SONG A hundred folk tunes and classics, taught note by falling note: the song streams toward you and you play what arrives. Short parts, a gentle pace, and it remembers where you stopped. MAKE A SONG Draw a melody over a beat in the Song Maker. Keep it on the shelf, hand it to any instrument, or export it as audio. KEEP EVERY TAKE Whatever you play can be saved, replayed on the turntable, and exported as MP3 or WAV. Love one take? Make it your ringtone. TAKE IT ANYWHERE β€’ Works offline, on phones and tablets β€’ A few optional extra sound banks download once, if you ask for them β€’ Available in 21 languages Bring an instrument wherever you go.
