Pixelboop: Make Music Visually

Happy launch week! Pixelboop is now public, we can't wait for you to try it & let us know what you think. Follow @pixelboopapp for glimpses of new features coming!

Make music as visual as it is audible. Pixelboop transforms your iPhone into a visual sequencer where every note you create becomes a colorful pixel on screen. No music theory required—just tap, draw, and see the sounds.

DRAW YOUR MUSIC Create beats by painting on a colorful grid. Each row is a different note, each column is a moment in time. Tap to place notes, drag to draw melodies or chords, and watch your music come alive as vibrant patterns scroll across the screen. It's music production that feels like a game.

4 TRACKS, INFINITE POSSIBILITIES Layer your compositions with four independent tracks: • Melody - Expressive lead lines and hooks • Bass - Deep, driving low end • Chords - Rich harmonic backing • Rhythm - Punchy drums and percussion

Each track has its own color palette, making it easy to see your arrangement at a glance. Switch between tracks instantly and build complex compositions one layer at a time.

ALWAYS SOUNDS GOOD Pixelboop keeps you in key automatically. Choose from major and minor scales, and every note you place will sound musical. Experiment freely without worrying about wrong notes—the grid is your playground.

Interval modes let you explore different note relationships: • Pentatonic - Classic 5-note scales that always work • Thirds/Fourths/Fifths - Stack notes in musical intervals • And more to discover

GESTURES THAT FEEL NATURAL • Tap to toggle notes on and off • Drag horizontally to draw sustained notes • Drag horizontally and vertically to create arpeggios • Double-tap or two finger drag to erase

The interface responds to your touch with satisfying visual feedback. Watch colors pulse with the beat and see your creation take shape in real time.

TEMPO AND TIMING Adjust BPM from slow ambient textures to driving dance beats. The visual playhead shows exactly where you are in the loop, making it easy to place notes with precision. Variable grid lengths and 8 banks of 8 grid sections let you create anything from quick 4-bar loops to extended compositions.

MIDI I/O Connect to your hardware synths and drum machines via MIDI over USB or Bluetooth—Pixelboop sends (& receives) note data to and from external gear, turning your iPhone into a portable sequencer for your studio setup.

DESIGNED FOR ACCESSIBILITY Pixelboop was created by a deaf musician who believes music should be visual first. The interface relies on color, position, and visual feedback rather than requiring you to hear every nuance. Whether you're deaf, hard of hearing, or simply prefer a visual approach to music, Pixelboop meets you where you are.
