Play music in thin air. Air Piano Pro uses your camera to track your hands in real time and turn gestures into sound. No touch required. Just hold up your hands and play. YOUR HANDS ARE THE INSTRUMENT The camera detects your fingers and maps them to a customizable note grid. Left hand glows green, right hand glows cyan. Every movement becomes music instantly with ultra-low latency. Works on iPhone and iPad with no extra hardware needed. 128 HD INSTRUMENTS Full General MIDI library powered by a professional SoundFont engine. Grand Piano, Electric Piano, Violin, Cello, Trumpet, Saxophone, Flute, Synth Pads, Organs, Guitars, Bass, and over 100 more. Assign different instruments to each hand. Play bass with your left while your right carries melody on flute. 5 FINGER MODES All Fingers mode lets every finger trigger notes. 10 Piano mode maps each finger to a scale note like a real keyboard. 2 Touch and 4 Touch modes use your thumb to activate notes for precise control. 1 Pinch mode lets you pinch to play and also activates drum pads when the Drums instrument is selected. 6 MUSICAL SCALES Major, Minor, Pentatonic, Blues, Dorian, and Chromatic. Every note on the grid belongs to your chosen scale so it is impossible to hit a wrong note. Perfect for improvisation and beginners. CUSTOMIZABLE GRID Choose from 1 to 15 key columns and 1 to 12 pitch rows. iPad defaults to a 12x12 layout while iPhone uses 8x8. The grid spans from C-2 to the highest octaves with every cell labeled by note name and octave. Switch between Grid and Radial modes for completely different spatial layouts. 8 STUDIO EFFECTS Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Sustain, Distortion, Tremolo, Space, and Echo. Tap any pedal to toggle it on or off then adjust intensity with sliders. Stack multiple effects to create lush atmospheric soundscapes or keep it clean and direct. 4-TRACK LOOPER Record loops with BPM control across 4 independent tracks. Tap to record, tap again to stop and loop. Long press for overdub. Layer bass, chords, melody, and percussion to build complete arrangements. FULL SEQUENCER Timeline view with drag to edit notes.

LogSynth
Read full descriptionHide full description
LogSynth is a polyphonic virtual-analog synthesizer built for people who care what's actually happening in the signal path, not just what the preset browser looks like. Every voice runs five anti-aliased oscillators (sine, triangle, saw, pulse with PWM, and a band-limited impulse train) plus a dedicated sub-oscillator and noise source, mixed per-voice with independent amp envelopes. Chunky oscillators, crisp effects and a zero-delay-feedback state-variable filter — switchable low/high/bandpass. The drive effect is powered by a physically modeled diode circuit, numerically integrated rather than a lookup-table approximation, so pushing it into saturation behaves the way an actual analog drive would. FEATURES - 8-voice polyphony, 5 oscillators + sub + noise per voice - Zero-delay-feedback state-variable filter with resonant feedback and diode drive saturation - 5 independent oscillator envelopes plus a dedicated filter envelope - 2 assignable LFOs and an 8-slot modulation matrix - Built-in chorus, delay, FDN reverb, and 4-mode distortion - 41 factory presets across Bass, Lead, Pluck, and Effects - One-tap patch randomizer with adjustable intensity - Real-time oscilloscope, on-screen keyboard, and CoreMIDI input - Runs standalone or as an AUv3 instrument inside AU hosts Whether you're sound designing from scratch or dropping it into a DAW as a plugin, Logsynth gives you the same engine everywhere — no watered-down mobile version, no feature gating between standalone and plugin modes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: AirPianoPro at $4.99 against LogSynth's $14.99. AirPianoPro also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). LogSynth's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
