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
• 5 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
• Adjustable key, octave, and grid size
• Optional visual effects — ripples, finger trails, intensity rings, pitch-column glow
• 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.

What’s new

What's new
• Shadows

Record what you play as gestures — then watch it play back on the pad and jam over the top.

• Loads the sound, scale, key and effects it was played with, and
plays back exactly as it was performed
• Share, load and replay — with friends or your own takes
• See how others played a piece, finger by finger, and learn it

Enjoy!
