A complete neon music studio AND a private AI that works 100% offline — no setup, no account, no internet, ever. Make beats on an 8-pad sequencer, play a polyphonic synth, then chat with an on-device AI that ships ready to go the instant you open the app. While other private-AI apps make you download a model first, Neon Synthetics already has one built in. Press play. That's it. — THE MUSIC STUDIO — • 8-Pad Beat Sequencer: tap out drums fast on a classic step grid with genre presets. • Polyphonic Synth: play lead, bass, pluck, pad, organ and bells with rich, warm 80s tone. • Key + Scale Snap-Lock: lock to any key and scale so every note you play stays in tune. • BPM, Tap Tempo & Metronome: nail your timing every time. • Ask the AI for a Beat: tell the on-device AI a vibe and it builds you a starting pattern.
