About this app

Etherpad — an expressive multi-touch synth that turns your screen into an instrument.

Touch anywhere to make sound. Each finger is an independent voice, driven by a professional Csound synthesis engine. Slide, hold, lift — the music follows your gesture in real time.

Designed for musicians, sound designers, and anyone who wants to make music without theory, MIDI, or setup. Just open and play.

Features
• 14 hand-crafted sound modes — from lush pads to gritty leads
• Full multi-touch — every finger gets its own voice
• 12 musical scales — Major, Minor, Pentatonic, Blues, Whole-Tone, Bohlen-Pierce, Overtone Series, and more

• Low-latency audio engine optimized for live performance

Whether you're sketching melodies, performing live, or simply playing for the joy of it, Etherpad gives you a tactile, immediate connection to sound.

Ratings and reviews

Thank you for resurrecting this. I still have the original and it's great that you retained the original UI and functionality as well as adding new sounds. There's something very relaxing about this little virtual synth.

this is my favorite music app. simple but sounds amazing. used a while back but it stopped being available for latest Android, looks like it is back.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant. I had this app when you first made it 10 years ago. So so happy to see you upgrade it and add features. This is high quality stuff! Keep it up. God bless you!
