Read full description

ToneWright is a music workshop in your pocket: warm wooden rooms, one instrument in each, and everything plays the moment you touch it. NINE REAL INSTRUMENTS Every one is built from recordings of the real thing, and laid out the way the real thing is played. Resize the keys, retune the strings, make it fit your hands. • Piano, with pedal, scales and arpeggios • Drums, a full kit with hi-hat pedal and cymbal choke • Guitar, strum or pick, bend the strings and let them ring • Kalimba, 17 or 21 clear singing tines • Handpan, hammered steel tuned to gentle scales • Violin, four bowed strings • Xylophone, with rolls and glissandos • Guzheng, 21 strings you can press and bend • Accordion, three reed voices and breathing bellows LEAD A BAND The Percussion Band puts a small animated rhythm section on stage. Samba, salsa, folk and toybox kits, and the players really strike what you hear. Draw a groove on the grid, press play, watch them work. CONDUCT AN ORCHESTRA Raise the baton and lead winds, brass, strings and timpani through real conducting patterns. Your hand keeps the time. The orchestra follows it, faster or slower, louder or softer. LEARN A SONG A hundred folk tunes and classics, taught note by falling note: the song streams toward you and you play what arrives. Short parts, a gentle pace, and it remembers where you stopped. MAKE A SONG Draw a melody over a beat in the Song Maker. Keep it on the shelf, hand it to any instrument, or export it as audio. KEEP EVERY TAKE Whatever you play can be saved, replayed on the turntable, and exported as MP3 or WAV. Love one take? Make it your ringtone. TAKE IT ANYWHERE • Works offline, on phones and tablets • A few optional extra sound banks download once, if you ask for them • Available in 21 languages Bring an instrument wherever you go.

Wave Slicer cuts a sound down to the piece you actually want. Load a track, record something, or send a file to it from anywhere on your phone — then zoom in until you can see the individual samples and cut exactly there. WHAT IT DOES A waveform that stays smooth on a ten-minute file and keeps going down to sample level. Drag the edges of a selection, slide the whole selection along, or draw a new one. Every edge snaps to a zero crossing, so a cut never clicks. A full effect chain that you hear while you turn it. Transpose by semitones, high-pass and low-pass with resonance, tanh saturation, bitcrush and sample rate reduction, echo with feedback, and a reverb that can ring out for eight seconds past the end of the slice. An amplitude envelope you draw by hand. Tap to add a point, drag to move it, bend the curve between two points. The same envelope drawing as the pitch curve in Drum Rack. Fades on both ends, and a loop crossfade that folds the tail over the head so a loop comes round without a seam. Export as a 16 or 24-bit WAV, with TPDF dither on 16-bit. The file lands where you choose to save it, named so you can find it again in a DAW browser. Record straight from the microphone when you want to sample something in the room. Echo cancellation and noise suppression stay off, because those are built for speech and ruin anything worth sampling. Twelve sounds are built in to start with, including two drum loops on the grid, so there is something to cut the moment you open it. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account. No sign-in. No advertising. No analytics. No tracking. Audio you load, record or export never leaves your device. The app asks the internet for exactly one thing: a small text file holding the current links shown on the last screen. FROM THE LAB Wave Slicer is part of Lumlux Art Lab, a set of free browser tools for people who make music. The same slicer runs on the website, so you can try it before installing anything. Made in Antwerp by FDR-Sound.
