Phoremin - Tilt Theremin

Phoremin turns your phone into a theremin — the classic instrument famously played without ever touching it, controlled instead by motion in the air.

Touch the screen to sound a note, then move your phone to shape it in real time:

• Tilt left and right to sweep the filter cutoff
• Tilt forward and back to bend the pitch
• Shake the phone to add vibrato
• Lift your finger to release the note

Under the hood, Phoremin runs the same native, low-latency synthesis engine as Q Pad, our touch-controlled synth pad — a polyphonic subtractive synth with oscillators, amp and filter envelopes, distortion, delay, a formant filter, and reverb. Switch between 15 built-in presets, from warm analog basses to eerie sci-fi leads, and hear the same sound quality, now played with a wave of your hand instead of your fingertip.

No microphone, camera, or network access is used. Everything happens locally, in real time, on your device.

If you've ever wanted to play a theremin without owning one, or just wanted to feel what it's like to conduct a synthesizer with the phone itself, give Phoremin a try.
