Octal: Pocket Synth

Octal turns your phone into an instrument. Eight buttons play chords and notes that always go together, so whatever you press sounds like music, and the bead under your other thumb changes their mood as you play. Record a few bars and they loop. Pick drums, a bass or a lead from the wheel and play over the top, then chain your loops into a song. Every edit is kept, so you can always wind back. Making music is free, with four saved loops and one song. One purchase, with no subscription, adds MIDI and stems for your DAW, MIDI out, sounds of your own from the bead lab, and as many loops and songs as you like. Octal collects no data.
