GLIMR: Strum Any Sound

GLIMR is now a plugin. Strum your sounds inside GarageBand and your favorite iOS DAWs, and shape them with the new 8-band EQ.

Make any sound strummable.

Hold SAMPLE and make a sound: your voice, a wine glass, a car horn, your cat. GLIMR turns it into an instrument you play like a harp. Pick a chord, sweep your finger across the strings, and your sound rings out in tune and in harmony.

SAMPLE ANYTHING

• Hold to sample from the mic. GLIMR waits for your sound, so there's no dead air at the start.
• GLIMR finds the pitch for you, or you can set the root yourself.
• Trim, fade, reverse and normalize your samples, or import your own audio files.

PLAY CHORDS WITH ONE FINGER

• Eight chord types in every key: major, minor, 7th, major 7th, minor 7th, diminished, augmented and sus4.
• Strum the strings, or tap them one at a time. Strum faster to play louder.
• Shape the sound with LOFI, DRIVE and CHORUS, plus delay and reverb. The delay locks to your tempo.

BUILT-IN RHYTHM BOX

• Eight grooves: rock, pop, disco, samba, waltz, bossa, lo-fi and ballad.
• Edit any pattern: tap to add a hit, drag up or down to set how hard it hits.
• Set the tempo with tap tempo, or type it in.

RECORD AND TAKE IT ANYWHERE

• Tap REC to capture what you play.
• Share the strings and drums as separate 24-bit WAV files, ready to mix.
• Export your strings as MIDI and rebuild the part in your DAW.
• Send takes to Files, AirDrop or any app.

PLAY YOUR DAW FROM THE STRINGS

• Turn on MIDI out in Settings and GLIMR becomes a MIDI controller.
• Strums, chords and drums play any synth or DAW over USB or Wi-Fi.

Works on iPhone and iPad. No account, no subscription, no ads. Your sounds stay on your device.

Now a plugin too. GLIMR is an Audio Unit (AUv3) instrument for GarageBand and other iOS DAWs, with your whole sound library inside. Play it from your DAW's keyboard or a MIDI controller, let its drums follow your song, and shape every sound and loop layer with an 8-band parametric EQ.
