GLIMR: Strum Any Sound
Make any sound strummable
$4.99
Make any sound strummable.
Hold SAMPLE and make a sound: your voice, a wine glass, a car horn, your cat. GLIMR turns it into an instrument you play like a harp. Pick a chord, sweep your finger across the strings, and your sound rings out in tune and in harmony.
SAMPLE ANYTHING
- Hold to sample from the mic. GLIMR waits for your sound, so there's no dead air at the start.
- GLIMR finds the pitch for you, or you can set the root yourself.
- Trim, fade, reverse and normalize your samples, or import your own audio files.
PLAY CHORDS WITH ONE FINGER
- Eight chord types in every key: major, minor, 7th, major 7th, minor 7th, diminished, augmented and sus4.
- Strum the strings, or tap them one at a time. Strum faster to play louder.
- Shape the sound with LOFI, DRIVE and CHORUS, plus delay and reverb. The delay locks to your tempo.
BUILT-IN RHYTHM BOX
- Eight grooves: rock, pop, disco, samba, waltz, bossa, lo-fi and ballad.
- Edit any pattern: tap to add a hit, drag up or down to set how hard it hits.
- Set the tempo with tap tempo, or type it in.
RECORD AND TAKE IT ANYWHERE
- Tap REC to capture what you play.
- Share the strings and drums as separate 24-bit WAV files, ready to mix.
- Export your strings as MIDI and rebuild the part in your DAW.
- Send takes to Files, AirDrop or any app.
PLAY YOUR DAW FROM THE STRINGS
- Turn on MIDI out in Settings and GLIMR becomes a MIDI controller.
- Strums, chords and drums play any synth or DAW over USB or Wi-Fi.
Works on iPhone and iPad. No account, no subscription, no ads. Your sounds stay on your device.
Ratings & Reviews
GLIMR now speaks MIDI. Play any synth or DAW from GLIMR's strings and chords, over USB or Wi-Fi. Turn it on in Settings > MIDI.
The sample editor now docks beside the strings, so you can keep strumming while you edit.
Fixed edge swipes that could interrupt playing.
