TONO: Pocket Synth

Make songs on your phone like on a real synth: six sound engines, sequencers that play by themselves and a four-track tape. Free to start.

TONO is a pocket synthesizer for making songs from start to finish on your phone. No screens full of menus: colored knobs, a keyboard and a four-track tape, just like real hardware.

SIX SOUND ENGINES • Dimension: two oscillators and a filter, the classic analog sound. • FM: bells, electric pianos and basses with metallic shine. • Cluster: a wall of detuned saws. • String: plucked strings that sound like guitar, harp or koto. • Drums: twelve synthesized sounds, with tuning and punch. • Sampler: record anything with the microphone and play it on the keys.

SEQUENCERS THAT MAKE YOU PLAY • Drums: four 16-step patterns with swing. • Tombola: a spinning hexagon that plays when the balls bounce. • Sketch: draw your melody with a finger, always in key. • Endless: enter notes one by one and let them loop. • Arpeggiator with HOLD, plus scales so you never hit a wrong note.

FOUR-TRACK TAPE • Overdub, loop and record with a metronome. • Knob moves are recorded with the track. • Tilt your phone to shape the sound. • Mixer with level, pan and meters.

YOUR SONG, YOUR WAY • Takes: keep versions of a song and compare them without fear of breaking anything. • Four example songs to listen to and take apart. • Six device finishes and accent colors.

TONO PRO, ONE PAYMENT Unlocks all six engines including the Sampler, WAV export, unlimited songs and takes, all six finishes and cloud backup of your songs. No subscriptions.

No ads and no account required: your songs stay on your phone.
