Music you can see, touch, and make your own

VMuse turns iPad into a canvas for building and performing custom multitouch musical instruments. Its core creative workflow works offline.
In development for iPadOS 18 and later.

Start with a short, action-first tour of the things you can make.ExploreCreate with more than notes
Your pictures. Your sounds. Your layout.
Combine imported images, bundled Elements, editable text, drawing, shapes, lines, 20 procedural backgrounds, and first-class instrument modules. Everything stays arranged on one normalized Canvas.
Explore the EditorPlayability with intention
A visual is not a sound. You decide what plays.
Draw rectangular, elliptical, or traced Touching Regions, then map them to built-in or imported Sounds. Regions anchored to an image stay aligned as the image moves, resizes, or rotates.
Learn about Touching RegionsA protected stage version
Keep experimenting. Keep the performance safe.
The draft keeps autosaving while a published revision stays immutable. Unfinished Editor work never silently replaces the last prepared version that is ready to perform.
Understand Publish and PerformanceNative and offline at its core
Creative work belongs on the iPad where it was made.
No login, profile, or backend for the core workflow.
No analytics or app-owned network transport.
No cloud sync, public sharing, or remote asset catalog.
Projects, imports, and app-audio recordings remain local.
Designed for iPad
Native. Landscape-first. Built for iPadOS 18 and later.
VMuse is in development. Public availability depends on completion of release testing and Apple review.
