Play chords, melodies, rhythms and effects with an intuitive touch layout. Create, sample, shape and perform—all in one expressive instrument, right in your pocket C.ARP is a totally different keyboard. Inspired by old keyboards, omnichords and tape effects, it lets you play chords and melodies as well. Its design makes everything easier for a musician who just wants to play on mobile. Just hold on a button and then swipe or tap on the right section. But if you prefer, you can access chords and notes directly on the notes grid. Pitch them, harmonize, use mod wheel and apply real-time audio effects too. Rhythm section follows you every chord you choose: pick up the style you prefer, adjust BPMs, mute other instrument, change different midi settings, change drums and play them with drum pads. Do arpeggios with different sounds and rhythmic fractions, create different sound environments with delay, reverb and rotation. The design has also been updated for iPads, so you can enjoy the buttons and sections rearranged for the screen size. Record your voice or everything else as a sample, adjust its length, reverse or loop it, make chords and melodies with it and explore other cool features on this 4th version. There's also a tutorial inside! And finally: we added bluetooth out. It means you can connect your iPhone to your Mac and send midi notes right in your preferred DAW. Just follow the guide inside. Thanks to everyone who helped me: Giacomo, Virginia, Mattia, Andrea, Giulia, Cristiano, and the others. Thanks to the masters Suriani, Frankie and Calcutta. For every question or suggestion don't hesitate to write to me

Amazing Design!!

This is such a darling little synthesizer, I am in love with all the dreamy little sounds it makes. I thought the controls were confusing at first but after reading the tutorial and using them for a few minutes I was able to really quickly get the hang of it and it feels super intuitive now and easy to access as Im playing. The only thing I could want from this is a way to switch from seeing the standard plectrum to one where I can visually distinguish each individual “button” so I could play them individually a bit easier if I wanted, but its amazing either way :)!

A blast to just make chill jams with.

When I heard a Suzuki Omnichord in a few songs I went nearly mad trying to find ways to recreate the sound in GarageBand. This app hits that vibe right out the box and even does (in my opinion) a better guitar than in GarageBand.Honestly, the one feature I would love to see is support in GarageBand so I could easily slot this perfect instrument into my workflow. For now I have to use an app called Polychord, which while nice, doesn’t scratch that omnichord itch like this app.

Best app Ever!! - Only one thing I dislike

Ever since ive heard the sound of an omnichord i loved it and knew i wanted one to get those amazing sounds and tomes, I was dissapointed to find how expensive they were. This app is so much fun and only 5$ especially for musicians. This is a really underrated tool for musicians to use it can really inspire you to make make cool music and add a whole new dimension to your music. 5 stars AMAZING !!!!Feedback to developers:The only thing i dislike is that when you turn on auto-chord and hold on, the E chord is an extremely low octave and sounds muddled, and on the official app trailer it shows a large E on the notes grid but on the app it apears much smaller. I would love to have the E chord an octave up or so, at least an option to do so. I thank any developers who take the time to read or fix this. Thank you!!I love ur app!!

I have never in my life written a review for an app, but I felt the need to make an exception for this. I had just put a name to this instrument and wanted to try it for myself; the sound of an omnichord reminds me of my favorite childhood show Adventure Time, as it was used (I think!) in many of their iconic songs. I am very happy with this app for its accessibility, easy navigation and great sounds!! ❤️ Much love and many thanks!

!! HUUUGE UPDATES in this version !! - BLUETOOTH MIDI OUT. YES you heard that right. (for now it has been tested on iPhones not iPads - we're working on that too) - iPad has now ITS OWN layout, finally - you can now arpeggiate your own note sequences, using single note arpeggios. - pitch bend fixes - now you can trim sampled audio from both sides - change chords order (as someone asked for :) ) - other general bug fixes.
