Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. iPhone downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

About Particle Chimes: Ambient Synth
Particle Chimes is an instrument for your iPhone and iPad that is designed for touch, with sounds ranging from gentle strings to glass bells to cathedral organs. Press Auto and start an evolving melody in the key of your choice. Select visualizations like ink swirls, starfields, koi ponds, or stark black and white patterns to match your mood. Play notes or strum the performance ribbon to create a wide range of tones. It's easy to capture your performances with high resolution audio and video exports to share with friends. Set the sleep timer to relax and drift off to your own personal lullaby, or keep it playing in the background for focus time. Connect the app to your TV or projector and create your own personal interactive art installation.
Under the hood, Particle Chimes has a deep generative synthesizer engine. The sound is the real Rings physical-modeling resonator and Clouds granular engine, the same open-source Mutable Instruments algorithms inside two of the most-loved Eurorack modules ever built. Play with the built-in performance ribbon or with external keyboards and sequencers within your favorite AUv3 host such as GarageBand or AUM.
SOUNDS TO START FROM
Thirty-nine sounds, from plucked strings and glass bells to choirs, organs, and slow, stretched washes. The sound browser is a doorway to a wide range of presets.
THE RIBBON
Particle Chimes has three distinct performance ribbons: note mode, texture board, and, in Studio, a theremin-like free mode. Drag across the textured ribbon and notes ring out in whatever scale and tuning you've set: 23 scales from pentatonic to Hungarian minor, tunings from standard 12-tone to Just, Pythagorean, and Bohlen-Pierce, or your own imported .scl file.
PARTICLES
Everything you play is saved in the recording buffer, and the particle engine plays it back in three different ways. GRAINS scatters it into a granular cloud. LOOP repeats a slice of it and can sync to the clock. STRETCH plays it as a slow, pitched loop, with speed and pitch set separately. Up to three playheads read the buffer at once, each at its own pitch.
AUTO
Turn on AUTO and Particle Chimes will begin playing a unique evolving melody. Use one of the three modes to fit your goals: a Turing-machine sequencer, an arpeggiator, and a slow drift generator all help to create soundscapes that don't become repetitive.
MANY WAYS TO SEE THE SOUND
Every visualizer skin responds to what's actually playing, 46 in all. Five are free to start, including Signal Flow, a living schematic that shows you how the instrument works underneath. The rest, including a new set of eight black and white looks, open up with Studio.
USE IT IN YOUR HOST
Particle Chimes loads as an instrument plugin (AUv3) in AUM, Loopy Pro, and Logic for iPad. Play it from a MIDI keyboard or a host piano roll, with parameters exposed for automation and MIDI learn, locked to your host's tempo. AUTO can also start and stop with your host's transport.

Latest updates
1.1.1
Two new exciters. Morph and Sample & Hold (S&H) are now in the exciter picker on iPhone and iPad, next to Classic, Mallet, Pluck, Particles, Flow and Noise. Morph is an oscillator: WAVE sweeps its waveform and WIDTH sets the pulse width. S&H is a noise source that steps from one random level to the next: RATE sets how fast it steps and SMOOTH glides between the steps. Both keep exciting the resonator for as long as a note is held.
New in 1.1:
PARTICLES gets two new playback modes. Alongside GRAINS, the particle engine can now be set to LOOP or STRETCH. LOOP repeats a slice of the buffer and can be sync'd to musical rhythms. STRETCH is a pitched loop player allowing for pitch and time to be adjusted independently. All three heads play at once, each at its own pitch, locked to one speed by default; turn LOCK off to let them drift apart.
Eight new black and white looks have been added to the visual picker.
New presets highlighting the range of sounds possible with the core resonator and the new particles modes. The library has grown to 39 presets, with four new groups: Slow Time, Choirs & Ensembles, Loops & Echoes and Grain Gardens.
A much improved one-page Studio for iPad. The refined Studio layout puts the whole patching surface on one screen, with its own transport and FX dock.
Resonator motor. Capture the classic sound of a vibraphone by turning the motor on, adding a slow vibrato to all resonator sounds. Off by default; turn it on with MOTOR.
AUTO can follow your host. Switch it on and AUTO starts and stops with the transport.
Also in 1.1:
• The delay now crossfades when you change the time, instead of abrupt chirps.
• Mirror External Display now switches a connected display right away. No reconnecting needed.
