TranceXY - Theremin Synth
Play Trance With Your Fingers
Free · In‑App Purchases
Free download. Sweep the XY pad for stepless theremin pitch, chords and live FX. TranceXY Pro unlocks 773 presets and REC on iPhone, iPad and Mac in one purchase.
TranceXY is a trance synthesizer you play with your finger. Hold the pad, sweep across it, and the sound moves with you - the pitch glides without steps, the filter opens, the chords voice, the arpeggio accelerates. It is a theremin built for trance, on a touchscreen.
THEREMIN MODE, BY DEFAULT
The instrument opens in Theremin mode: one steady voice whose pitch you shape by hand across the pad's Y axis, quantised to the scale you choose or free to glide. Six more performance modes are a tap away - Note, Chord, Arp, Roll, Keys and Keys Chord - and the same finger movement plays leads, stacks chords, drives arpeggios or slides between notes.
A FULL TRANCE ENGINE
Under the pad: three oscillators with supersaw, a multimode filter, three LFOs, a noise source, sidechain ducking and a rhythmic trance gate, followed by nine effect pedals - distortion, chorus, flanger, phaser, delay, reverb, crush, OTT and gate. Eight performance knobs sit beside the pad for the moves you make while playing: cutoff, resonance, gate, pump, detune, delay, reverb and drive.
PLAYS ANYWHERE
Run it on its own, or load it as an AUv3 instrument inside GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis or any AUv3 host and record it straight into your track. REC captures your performance to WAV, AIFF or FLAC and shares it anywhere on your device.
ALSO A CONTROLLER FOR THE MAC
Switch it into controller mode and your iPhone or iPad becomes the XY surface for TranceXY on your Mac, over USB or Wi-Fi, with the pad, gain and all eight knobs mapped for you.
