TONAUT

• Folded, one octave on the outer screen. Half folded, the screens above the keys. Open, the whole instrument. Folding never stops the music

SOUNDS

• Nine synth engines: virtual analog, six-operator FM, wavetable, pulse, modeled string, a seven-oscillator swarm, grains, a classic analog poly and a sampler

• Every engine has a 3D screen that turns slowly and moves with your playing. Tap it for the classic view

• Over 500 sounds, from warm pads to glassy bells and growling bass, including 147 sampled instruments

• Edit every sound in depth, save your own, and star your favorites

• Load DX7-style SysEx banks into the FM engine

• Four effects on every sound from sixteen types, from tempo-synced tape echo and minute-long reverb to distortion, auto-filter, pump, phaser and lo-fi

• A master effect, a master EQ and an EQ on every lane

DRUMS

• 43 kits on three drum engines: kits made from real recorded drums, synthesized kits where every pad is its own drum, and slice kits

• Knock and Cinder kits drawn in 3D: every hit rings a plate or makes a drum or cymbal hop

• A groove player: hold any pad and the whole kit plays one of sixteen grooves

• Make kits from your own recordings or from audio files, one per pad

KEYS AND CHORDS

• Pick a key and scale and the keys in it light up. LOCK keeps every note in key. Each lane can have its own key

• CHORDS plays a whole chord from one key, and works with the arpeggiator and the sequencer

• Chord pad: seven chord keys from your key and scale, and a stick that turns each chord into a 7th, 9th, sus, dim and more

• Under SHIFT: switch chord modes, strum each chord and add a bass note

• Play the chord pad from a MIDI keyboard: the white keys pick the chord, the pitch bender and mod wheel move the stick

SEQUENCER

• Eight lanes, each with its own sound and sixteen patterns of up to 64 steps

• Write step by step or record live, with chords, slides, ratchets and chance

• STEP REC: each note or chord you play fills a step and moves on, with rest and tie, also from a MIDI keyboard

• Pattern Play: queue the next pattern and every lane moves on together

• Copy and swap patterns, for one lane or all of them, copy a pattern to another lane, and reorder lanes

• Move a pattern up or down an octave

• An arpeggiator on every synth lane

PLAY IT LIVE

• A Perform page with TONE and SPACE for every lane, which glide back when you stop

• An X/Y pad that bends pitch and moves the sound under one finger

• One-tap mutes, tap tempo, click and count-in

TAPE

• Eight tracks of 20 minutes each, or six tracks of 30 minutes, chosen per project

• Record every lane to its own track, or several onto one

• Loop, reverse, stutter, brake and catch the last 30 seconds you played

• A separate tape mixer, and pinch to zoom from a few bars to the whole song

SAMPLING

• Sample with the microphone, a USB interface, or Tonaut itself

MIDI

• Play Tonaut from USB or Bluetooth MIDI keyboards and controllers, on the selected lane or with each lane on its own channel

• Send any lane to your own synths and drum machines, with clock and start/stop

SHARE AND EXPORT

• Share a loop from the tape as a vertical video or as audio, ready to post

• Send a whole song, samples and all, as one file to a friend, who opens it in Tonaut as a project of their own

• Export a stereo mix, separate stems as WAV files, or MIDI files of every lane

• Optional iCloud sync between your iPhone and iPad

One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, each with its own layout, in five looks: Light, Dark, TN-1, TN-1 Dark and TN-XY. No subscription, no account, and Tonaut collects no data. Your music stays yours.
