Sonari

Sonari turns your Mac's camera into a musical instrument. You play it simply by moving. It's for anyone who wants to create expressive music without needing to hold or learn a traditional instrument. Your hands, face, and body become the way you perform.

The connection is direct. Lift your hand and the pitch rises with it. Spread your fingers and the sound widens and brightens. It's intuitive. The instrument responds to your natural movements, letting you shape every note as it plays.

Sonari offers many different ways to interact with sound, letting you choose the one that fits your idea.

• Seventeen playing styles: The app includes distinct modes that change how you play. Control a Theremin with pure hand position, play an airborne Drum Pad, or use the Face style to sound notes by opening your mouth.
• Vast sound library: It comes with over 10,000 built-in sounds, from grand pianos and string sections to complex synth patches. No extra downloads or purchases are required.
• Custom synthesis: You can open up any included sound to see how it's made and modify it, or build entirely new instruments by sampling your own audio.
• DAW integration: It functions as a MIDI controller, so you can use your movements to play virtual instruments inside Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and other music software.

A free companion app, Sonari Remote, connects your iPhone. This adds more control surfaces, using the phone's motion sensors, screen, and microphone. You can play notes by tilting the phone or humming into it.

The design is inclusive. Several playing styles don't require hands at all, using head movements or breath instead. Sonari also generates visuals that respond to your music, creating a light show you can project during a performance. Since it's always listening, you can capture a great take even after you've played it.
