Nada: Pocket Music Studio
Simple DAW: Sing & Make Songs
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your voice is the instrument. Sing a melody and hear it as piano, synth or bass, then add beats, chords and vocals and mix a finished song, all on your phone.
Your voice is the instrument. Nada is a complete music studio in your pocket: a simple DAW where you sing an idea and play it back on any instrument, then build it into a finished song with beats, chords, vocals and a full mix.
No studio, no keyboard, no years of lessons. And no AI making the song for you: you play it, you write it, it's yours.
SING IT, PLAY IT
• Sing, hum or whistle, and hear your voice play piano, synth, bass, guitar, strings and more in real time
• Key and scale lock keeps every note in tune, even if you're not a trained singer
• MPE expression keeps the feel of your performance: slides, bends and dynamics
A COMPLETE STUDIO, MADE SIMPLE
• Multi-track timeline: layer melody, bass, chords, vocals and drums
• Beat maker with drum kits for pop, hip hop, lo-fi, EDM and more
• Chord suggestions that follow the key of your melody
• Record vocals, instruments and audio alongside your MIDI tracks

BUILT FOR THE MOMENT AN IDEA ARRIVES
Ideas show up anywhere: on the bus, in the shower, at 2am. With Nada always in your pocket, you capture the melody before it disappears and keep building it wherever you are. Our own low-latency audio engine makes singing and hearing feel like the same moment, and voice detection runs on your device, even offline.
