## Description
*Early access pricing — Dawcade is at an entry price while the app is still growing. As more features land, the price is expected to go up.
Dawcade is a complete music studio built for touch. Sketch a beat, jam with playful instruments, record, arrange and mix — everything runs on your device, no account, no subscription, no ads.
PLAY
15 touch surfaces, each one a different way to play: Melody, Grid, Chords, Tonnetz, Strum, Stringboard, Circle of Fifths, XY Pad, Bowed, Sketch, Bloom, Orbits, Bounce, Arc and Otomata. Every surface snaps to your chosen key and scale, so everything you play stays musical.
