SoundCanvas - Draw music

Drawings you can listen to

$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Draw a line, press play, watch it become music. 18 instruments, one gesture. No account, no subscription — just $1.99 once. Draw a line. Press play. It becomes music. SoundCanvas turns a drawing into an instrument. Height is pitch. Left to right is time. Colour is the instrument — eighteen of them, from warm keys and marimba to cello, glass, tabla and a soft pad. Whatever you draw lands in key and in time, so even a scribble sounds like something. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Draw with eighteen instruments, three brush sizes, and a full undo history — fifty steps • Save every drawing to a local gallery; nothing leaves your phone • Choose key, scale, octave and tempo; add bass, drums, arpeggio or a metronome • Export a vertical 1080x1920 video, ready to post — free, always • Export a still image or the audio on its own WHAT IT IS NOT • No account. No sign-up. No cloud. • No subscription. No ads. No in-app purchases. • No music theory required. One purchase, everything included. Made for people who think in shapes, not notation.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

New: Harmony — your lines are shaped into a melody with gentle accompaniment, on by default (turn it off in Sound). Every line you draw now keeps its notes: a drawn line plays up to twice as many notes as before. Dots light up along the ink as it plays. Also: a French App Store listing. Fixed: exported videos are no longer upside down.
