Pentatone

Arithmophone

About this app

"Beautiful, fun and inspiringly expressive" - The Arithmophone Pentatone is a music app featuring an easy to play pentatonic keyboard and a built-in synthesizer. Instead of using piano keys or a grid-based interface, Pentatone takes a fresh approach, optimised for the ergonomics of touchscreen devices and inspired by instruments like the kora and mbira. The app also has a sophisticated scale selection system that includes all the common pentatonic scale types and unlocks some more unusual ones.

*****

Pentatone features:
- An easy-to-play keyboard, split for two handed playing
- An original pentatonic scale system with 9 selectable scales, in just intonation or standard tuning
- A custom Audiokit-based synth engine (binaural 2x2 op FM with stereo detune, resonant filter, delay and reverb)
- 25 preset sounds with macro sliders for tone and ambience
- Initial touch and aftertouch response, both polyphonic
