Description

Tap to create planets. Watch them orbit suns and play notes as they pass through zones.

Sounds weave in and out as planets speed up, slow down, collide, and interact. The music
shifts between chaos and calm, never repeating the same way twice.

Features:
• 17 instruments: piano, harp, kalimba, pads, bells, theremin, and more
• Beautiful visuals: nebula backgrounds, glowing planets with particle trails, dynamic lighting
• Multiple scales: Major, Minor, Pentatonic, Dorian, Blues, and more
• Grid and harp layouts: choose how zones are arranged
• Keys or strings triggering: change how planets trigger notes
• Autoharp mode: toggle or hold notes to control what's playable
• Paint mode: assign specific notes to each zone, including wildcards
• Per-planet control: assign different instruments, scales, and octave ranges to each
planet
• Built-in effects: filter, delay, and reverb with real-time control
• Saves: build a library of evolving compositions
• Background playback: keeps making music when you switch apps
• Configurable physics: toggle wall bounces, collisions, and collision sounds

MIDI Support (Premium):
• Multi-timbral output with 16 channels + X/Y position CC per planet
• MPE mode with per-note pitch bend, slide, and pressure
• Route to any MIDI-compatible app (AUM, GarageBand, DAWs, synths)
• Per-planet MIDI routing: assign MIDI channels and MPE controls independently

Perfect for:
• Ambient soundscapes that evolve on their own
• Live performance and improvisation
• Meditation, relaxation, and creative flow
• Generative music experiments
• Weird beats and drones

No subscription. No ads. Just you and the universe.
