About

Magnio

Read full description

Where magnetism meets melody. Magnio turns the iPhone already in your hand into a living instrument. Held sideways like a game controller, it answers to your hands: touch the screen to wake the sound, then tilt, swipe, and push to give the music its shape. PLAY WITH MOVEMENT • Tilt the phone up and down to move through notes. • Flick your playing thumb sideways to bend a note into its neighbour. • Push the phone away from its centre to open the sound. CATCH THE VIBE Tap Vibe and Magnio listens to the room. Within seconds it finds the key of whatever is playing — a record, a jam, a friend at the piano — and tunes itself to it. Your very first note already belongs. No theory, no menus, no guessing what key you are in. BUILD A PULSE Choose a scale and octave. Add bass, arp, kick, and offbeat hat. Shape two-bar patterns, tap the tempo, and let sidechain make the sound breathe. RECORD AND SHARE One round button records what Magnio itself is playing — never the microphone, never the room. Recordings are named by date, and you can rename, play, share, or delete them from the list. MAKE IT YOURS Choose right- or left-handed playing; the whole instrument turns with you, so you simply flip the phone. Calibrate each gesture, tune the response, and arrange your performance surface — place the controls where your thumb wants them. GO FURTHER WHEN YOU WANT Play Magnio's own voice, send MIDI to another app on your iPhone, connect to a Mac over USB, or use BLE MIDI with a compatible Mac or iPad app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Vibe listens on device; audio is never saved or uploaded. Your settings stay on your device. Magnio is free. Every sound, gesture, and MIDI route is available. There are no subscriptions and no in-app purchases. The instrument was already with you. Now play it.
