Hexaphone – Performance Touchscreen Synthesizer for iOS

Hexaphone is a performance-oriented musical synthesizer for iPhone and iPod Touch, and it’s pretty great on the iPad, too!

Most iPhone instruments are hindered by the small screen size. The keys are too small, which means it’s easy to play a wrong note.

Hexaphone embraces the small screen size, solving the space problem by providing a simplified, six-note keyboard. The six notes are selected based on the type of music you want to play. The “wrong notes” are removed from the screen entirely, freeing up room for bigger keys across more octaves.

Choose a six-note scale based on the type of music you want to play (Blues, Dance, Trance, and many more), fire up a beat, and off you go!

Hexaphone allows you to change the sound of the keys and choose a variety of drum loops to play in the background. It also has record and playback capabilities — you can lay down a quick bassline, record it, and then play along with it as you add a melody, chords, etc.
