Snorkel Synth
Dive into new ideas
$8.99
iPad
Snorkel is different.
It generates musical ideas that surprise you, and gives you full control to make them yours. Playful, inspiring, and fully tweakable.
Most music apps give you a blank piano roll. Snorkel takes a different approach. Instead of one generic editor for everything, you get four dedicated tools. Basslines, hooks, pads and drums each have their own interface built around how that part actually works. The result: you sketch full song ideas in minutes, not hours. You stay in the flow, you have fun!
FOUR TOOLS, FOUR JOBS
Patterns — Basslines and Melodies
A grid-based step sequencer for sketching basslines, melodies and rhythmic ideas fast. No note-by-note editing — just tap steps and hear results immediately.
Arpeggiator — Hooks and Movement
A reimagined arpeggiator with 16 play modes and a programmable gate grid. Feed it a chord and it turns simple input into complex, evolving hooks.
Chords — Pads and Harmony
A chord generator with a built-in gater effect. Pick a chord type, shape the rhythm, and get lush pads or choppy stabs without touching a keyboard.
Drums — Beats and Grooves
A dedicated drum sequencer with its own step grid. Build beats quickly and layer them with everything else.
DEEP RANDOMIZATION
Every tool has a randomize button that generates musically meaningful results. Hit it, hear something unexpected, keep what you like, tweak the rest. It's the fastest way to break out of your habits and find ideas you'd never write yourself.
THE SEQUENCER
Combine your bassline, pad, hook, and beat into a full arrangement using the built-in Sequencer. Hear how your parts work together, swap scenes in and out, and shape a complete song idea — all on your iPad.
BUILT-IN SYNTH
Each tool has its own independent synth engine with three oscillators, dual filters, four LFOs, four envelopes, and effects.
