DrawTune: Draw to Make Music

DrawTune turns your drawings into music.

Draw anything with your finger. A playhead sweeps across the canvas and plays every line it crosses: higher lines play higher notes, horizontal lines hold long notes and vertical lines become chords. Keep drawing while it plays and every change is heard instantly.

HUM IT INSTEAD OF DRAWING IT
Hum, whistle or sing a melody and it appears on the canvas as a line you can keep drawing on.

ANY PHOTO BECOMES A SONG
Add a photo and tap the wand: the app follows the shapes in the picture and plays them.

YOUR OWN SOUND
Record a note, a clap or your cat and draw with it as an instrument, or open a music file and let DrawTune draw its melody.

SONGS, MIDI AND iPAD
Chain up to four scenes into a longer song, export MIDI to GarageBand or Logic, and draw on iPad with Apple Pencil pressure.

47 INSTRUMENTS
Piano, organ, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, synths, strings, violin, cello, saxophone, trumpet, harmonica, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, flute and harp.
