Finger Gong
Play a Living Gong
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Finger Gong is a real-time gong synthesizer that responds to your touch. Every sound is built from scratch — fourteen oscillators per voice, detuned and coupled so harmonics bloom, beat, and slowly fade.
Tap to strike. Hold and drag to rub with a friction mallet. The gong begins to sing, harmonics building and shifting as you move. Speed, direction, and pressure all shape the voice.
SEE THE SOUND
A 2D wave simulation ripples across the surface with every strike. Switch to Chladni mode and watch thousands of sand particles settle into real nodal patterns — the same physics Ernst Chladni revealed two centuries ago.
BLISS MODE
Curated sound environments for meditation, relaxation, and healing. Each preset tunes the gong to a specific shape, alloy, pitch, and sustain — voiced for calm.
5 gong shapes — Chau, Bao, Bell, Wind, and Bowl
5 alloys — Bronze, Brass, Nickel Silver, Blisserite, and Thankium
6 pitches — pentatonic scale for melodic exploration
4 sizes — from a 14-inch hand gong to a 50-inch concert gong
5 mallets — from bright wooden sticks to soft friction pads
FRICTION MALLETS
Hold and drag very slowly. The gong begins to sing as harmonics couple and build — lush, evolving textures that shift as you move. Each mallet has its own grip and character.
IMMERSION MODE
Long-press Zen to hide everything. Just you, the gong, and darkness.
Record your sessions. Three skins. Waveform, spectrogram, and harmonic visualizers.
