MAKE MUSIC BY TOUCHING THE MACHINE Tonkro is a playful music workstation for iPad: part synthesizer, sampler, drum machine, sequencer, recorder, editor, mixer, and DJ performance space. SHAPE ORIGINAL INSTRUMENTS Explore distinctive synth and drum engines through four expressive controls. Each workshop is built to feel immediate: touch the illustrated machinery, hear the result, and let the characters react to your performance. SAMPLE THE WORLD Record through the microphone or import audio. Play one sound chromatically, divide it into untransposed slices, or map multiple samples across keys and pads. Trim, crop, loop, reverse, fade, change speed, transpose, and preserve the original recording with non-destructive editing. FIND RHYTHMS YOUR WAY Seven sequencer personalities turn taps, held notes, patterns, gestures, and playful systems into musical motion. Tempo, transport, MIDI, and recording stay connected, so a sketch can become an arrangement without breaking the flow. RECORD AND ARRANGE Build with eight stereo tracks. Record audio or notes, edit clips and piano-roll performances, overdub, punch, loop, lift, drop, mix, export stems, and save portable project bundles. PERFORM WITH MONSTER DECKS Load two tracks, set beat grids, sync, use key lock, cue points, hot cues, quantized loops, EQ, filters, pitch bend, and the crossfader. Record the performance or print it directly into the tape arrangement. MADE FOR PLAY Tonkro keeps its creative tools visible, touchable, and full of character. It works without an account, advertising, or third-party analytics. Your projects, recordings, and imported samples remain on your iPad unless you choose to export or share them.

Roll the dice to wind it, set its eight sigils, and Deep House plays an endless electronic set: kick, chords, bass and pads, every sound synthesized as the gears turn. Nothing is recorded and nothing is streamed, so it plays fully offline. And like any good mechanism it is exact: the same link plays the same track, anywhere. Its best sounds are in the Featured playlists. A music companion for work, reading or a late drive. No distracting vocals. No agenda. Just vibes. THE DIAL The ring is the machine's face, an old brass instrument for reading music the way sailors read the sky: the lanes of the track turning past the needle, the sections ahead, and eight sigils in orbit that set its springs: tempo, space, groove, harmony, texture and more. Roll the dice for a new track, or rearrange the sigils to cast your own. You rarely know how it will turn out: it's more often a journey than a destination. ONE LINK, ONE TRACK Every track has a link, and it plays the same anywhere, in the app or in any browser at deephouse.audio. THE WORKS Open the machine view to see the gears move: every voice, bus and meter of the track as it plays, like a studio desk. ON YOUR DEVICES • Plays in the background, with lock screen and Control Center controls • Pauses for calls and picks up after • AirPlay to your speakers and Apple TV • On the Mac: a floating mini player, menus and full screen Fully offline. No account. No ads. No tracking. No data collected.
