Four things to do

Edit. Test. Publish. Perform.

  1. 1

    Edit your instrument.

    Choose how it looks, then add playable areas, sounds, or a built-in instrument.

  2. 2

    Try Test Draft.

    Play what you are building without changing the design.

  3. 3

    Publish when it is ready.

    Prepare a stable version for full-screen play.

  4. 4

    Open Performance.

    Play the prepared version full screen and make music.

Things to try

Start with one idea. See where it goes.

A picture instrument

Pick a picture. Choose the parts that should play. Give each part a sound.

A custom drum layout

Arrange big percussion controls where your hands want them.

A colorful pitch instrument

Use a built-in instrument or make a bright grid of pads.

A themed sound board

Mix words, pictures, artwork, and sounds around one idea.

One useful thing to remember

A picture is not automatically a sound.

You tell VMuse what should play by adding a Touching Region or using a control that already belongs to an instrument.

Made on this iPad
