Nimbus Synth vs DM Theremin

Nimbus Synth is an ambient instrument you play by moving. No keys, no piano roll, no menus to learn. Tilt your phone, drag a finger across the screen, and slow, evolving drones grow out of the motion. Every gesture shapes the sound in real time. SIX VOICES Layer up to six ambient timbres: Sub Drone, Warm Pad, Glass, Air, Metallic, Cello Dark, each with its own character, sculpted through tilt and touch. ALWAYS IN KEY Seven scale modes and note-exclusion keep whatever you play in tune with itself. No wrong notes. LOOP AND LAYER Record a phrase, loop it, and keep playing on top. Quantize to tempo, add a metronome with time signatures and subdivisions, and build a piece one layer at a time. SAVE YOUR IDEAS Keep a library of recordings and slot presets to return to later. NIMBUS SYNTH PRO A one-time unlock, no subscription: • Unlimited saved ideas and presets • Export recordings as WAV and MIDI (free tier exports MP3) • MIDI Out: send what you play live to a DAW or hardware synth over Network MIDI Made for headphones, a quiet room, and a phone in your hand.

Wave your hands and play. DM Theremin turns the LiDAR scanner on your iPhone into a theremin: your right hand's distance from the phone sets the pitch and your left hand's sets the volume, just like the two antennas of the real instrument. MADE FOR KIDS AND CURIOUS GROWN-UPS Snap to a scale and every note you land on is in tune. Pentatonic is the place to start: children can make a tune in the first ten seconds. Major, minor and chromatic are one tap away, in any key. A REAL THEREMIN IN FREE MODE Turn snapping off for the classic gliding theremin sound. The big note name and cents meter show exactly how sharp or flat you are, so it doubles as intonation practice. FIND THE NOTE A game names a note and plays it. Find it in the air and hold it steady to score. Points for accuracy and speed, and a streak multiplier for getting several in a row. SEE WHERE THE NOTES ARE A ribbon shows every note of the scale and where your hand is. Switch it to centimetres to see exactly how far from the phone each note sits. SOUNDS Sine, triangle and a warm vox voice, with reverb. MIDI OUT Play synths and music apps with your hands. Send notes with pitch bend and expression to apps on your iPhone, to Bluetooth MIDI instruments, or to a Mac over your network. Left-handed mode, adjustable range and sensitivity. No account, no ads, no tracking. The camera is used only to find your hands; nothing is recorded or sent anywhere. Stand the phone up sideways with the back camera facing you, step back about half a metre, and raise your hands. Requires an iPhone with a LiDAR scanner: iPhone 12 Pro or any later Pro model.
