Description

Draw and play music with your hands, add your own sounds with a simple tap

SoundBow is a drawing based music instrument with a clean and simple visual interface. You can create music by drawing curves over the screen with lines and gestural movements. Apart from drawing, you can rescale your instrument by moving graphical elements around. Record your own sounds through the microphone and start creating melodies, soundscapes with your own voice. If you wish, you can also export your composition as an audio file.

"Touch-based mobile devices allowed interactive, gesture-based music production to hit the masses. So far, this type of musical creation hasn't exactly taken the world by storm. But SoundBow, a drawing-based musical instrument app, should shake things up a little bit with its clean, minimal visual interface and mesmerizing potential for complex, loop-based music production." - The Creators Project

"Binaura bring their beautiful SoundBow app to iOS at last. It is a gorgeous instrument with huge possibilities for expression and creativity. I think that in many ways these are the kinds of apps that iOS was made for." - Palm Sounds

SoundBow is made with free and open source tools. The interface is built with OpenFrameworks. The sound engine is made with SodaLib, a free Data Sonification Library built on top of libPd (Pure Data).

Easy interestingness

That's what this app excels at. If you want a beat machine, look elsewhere. If you want a tool to help generate melodies and rhythms you might not play on your own, you're in luck!

Getting used to it

Has potential, but it would be nice to save arrangements of the strings. I use long draws in between the strings with sound #3. That sound is great, but the percussion is really chafing. Looking forward to working with Audiocopy. All you have to do is name and save it with Audiocopy, though it will show a download/upload option with that app and a lot of others. Will re-review in a month and try it with a few more apps. One redeeming quality is the list of suggested apps to work with, as I have not known of several.

Amazing. Please try to add more lines to make it possible to sound like Steve reich and little more dynamic feedback would be nice
