New Electronic Instrument For iPad

Olympia Noise Co. has announced Ondes, which they describe as a new electronic instrument for iPad.  They tell us that, inspired by the early electronic instruments of the 20th century like the Ondes Martenot and Theremin, Ondes emulates the classic electronic sounds of that era while adding some decidedly contemporary updates.  They say that Ondes is an expressive and extraordinarily fun instrument capable of playing everything from gliding melodies to dense polyphonic sci-fi soundscapes.

App designer Ben Kamen says "I've always been inspired by the sound and expressive potential of those early electronic instruments, and wanted to develop a way to access that sound in a new instrument.  The touch screen turns out to be a very natural fit for emulating the precise but fluid style Ondes Martenot is known for.  I'm really excited about this app and can't wait to hear the music that people make with it."

Pricing and Availability:
Ondes is coming soon to the AppStore.
