Pluckbow
Read full descriptionHide full description
A single string can become an entire sound world. Pluckbow is an expressive touch instrument built around one responsive string. Pluck, press, push, slide, mute, tremolo and find harmonics while the string animation follows the sound you actually hear. CHOOSE A SOUND Play carefully prepared recordings of harp, piano, kalimba, marimba, vibraphone, đàn tranh and more. Authentic cat meows, dog barks, frog calls and cricket chirps—plus playful percussion—can become instruments too. Preview every sound directly on its card, see its source note, and tune the open string without losing the recording’s natural reference pitch. LEARN AND PERFORM Explore complete built-in songs and focused exercises in one library. Adjust tempo, loop a passage, and decide independently whether Pluckbow plays the anchor movement, the pluck, both or neither. Show or hide anchor points, pluck points, note paths and animation to create the practice style that feels right. RECORD YOUR OWN WORKS Capture a performance, rename it, replay it with another timbre, practise along with the same visual guidance, and share or import it as a file or QR code. MAKE THE STAGE YOURS Fine-tune notation, string orientation, reference ruler, visual effects, master volume, balance and equalizer. Stage controls use a lightweight glass finish by default; switch to high-contrast solid controls in Settings whenever you prefer. The optional one-time Creator Pack unlocks custom stage backgrounds and recording, importing, trimming and playing your own sounds. No account, ads or cross-app tracking. Your recordings, images and performance data are processed on your device unless you choose to share them.
