Tap a chord. It already sounds good. Matcha is a pocket lo-fi studio where every touch is musical — smooth chords, warm synths, lazy drums, and a share-ready video with ink-wash visuals that bloom to your music. No music theory required (but it doesn't hurt). PLAY BY FEEL • Big chord buttons with built-in voice leading — every change sounds smooth • Smart key harmony: whatever you tap fits the key • Drag the voicing slider to open up or tighten the chord • A keyboard that lights up to show what's playing — two octaves on iPad EIGHT PACKS, EIGHT MOODS Tokyo Rain, Study Session, Sunset Drive, Midnight Jazz, Rainy Cafe, Neon Sleep, Saturday Cartoon, Late Bus. Each pack is a complete kit — synth, bass, drums, swing, tempo, chord palette and colour. SHAPE YOUR SOUND • Warm synth voices (Rhodes, pads, bells, organ) and a sampler • Bass patterns: root, walking, fifths, arpeggio and more • Drums with swing, plus reverb and chorus to taste SHARE WHAT YOU MAKE • Export a share video with reactive ink-wash visuals that bloom with every chord • Save it to Photos or send it anywhere MATCHA STUDIO — ONE-TIME UNLOCK Try it before you buy: play the built-in demo song, and hear your own four bars arranged into a whole track as many times as you like. Studio is for keeping it. • Matcha Magic — four bars in, a finished arrangement out • Song Mode — build the whole track section by section • Chord Journey — never guess the next chord; pick a feeling instead • Four Signature Packs — Rainy Taipei, Dusty Cassette, Bedroom R&B, Night Train • Recording, plus Pro Export: MIDI, stems, and Matcha as an AUv3 plugin in your DAW One purchase, yours forever. No subscription, no account, nothing uploaded. CALM BY DESIGN A reactive Chinese-ink background that moves with your music, a quiet dark interface, and a Live Activity so your jam shows up on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Just you and the keys.
