Gestrument and ScaleGen let you go far deeper into any genre you choose, or even further out to create your own new styles. With full and deep music theoretical control you can then intuitively improvise within the framework of the “musical DNA” you have created.
Gestrument – the revolutionary gesture instrument is an award winning app that lets you delve into practically any musical style with just the swipe of your finger.
ScaleGen redefines musical scales by letting you generate and edit scale in almost limitless ways.
With the combination of both apps you can delve deeper into any kind of “musical DNA” and even use any MIDI file as a base for a new composition. Explore music in completely new ways with Gestrument and ScaleGen.

Improvise or compose within the scales and rhythms you choose. Use parameters like pulse density, scale morphing, rhythm randomness or pitch fluctuation to find new paths for your musical expression and creativity. Use the tutorials or define your own settings to fit the musical style you want to play and compose in. Play on up to eight instruments at once – all with different individual settings.
Gestrument works equally well for rhythmic music or sweeping soundscapes, for solo melodies or chord blocks, for long lines or short staccatos. It can help you make music in whichever genre you can imagine.
Gestrument works directly with its built in sounds and is therefore perfect for the amateur or beginner who wants to make music in an intuitive way. But it is first and foremost built for professional musicians and composers who can work with the settings to build advanced theoretical frameworks that they can later improvise or compose within.
