GLIMR: Strum Any Sound

New: an optional guided tour that shows you around GLIMR, from strumming and chords to the rhythm box, sample editor, FX and file library. Skip it anytime, or replay it later in Settings → Take the tour.

Make any sound strummable. Hold SAMPLE and make a sound: your voice, a wine glass, a car horn, your cat. GLIMR turns it into an instrument you play like a harp. Pick a chord, sweep your finger across the strings, and your sound rings out in tune and in harmony. SAMPLE ANYTHING - Hold to sample from the mic. GLIMR waits for your sound, so there's no dead air at the start. - GLIMR finds the pitch for you, or you can set the root yourself. - Trim, fade, reverse and normalize your samples, or import your own audio files. PLAY CHORDS WITH ONE FINGER - Eight chord types in every key: major, minor, 7th, major 7th, minor 7th, diminished, augmented and sus4. - Strum the strings, or tap them one at a time. Strum faster to play louder. - Shape the sound with LOFI, DRIVE and CHORUS, plus delay and reverb. The delay locks to your tempo. BUILT-IN RHYTHM BOX - Eight grooves: rock, pop, disco, samba, waltz, bossa, lo-fi and ballad. - Edit any pattern: tap to add a hit, drag up or down to set how hard it hits. - Set the tempo with tap tempo, or type it in. RECORD AND TAKE IT ANYWHERE - Tap REC to capture what you play. - Share the strings and drums as separate 24-bit WAV files, ready to mix. - Export your strings as MIDI and rebuild the part in your DAW. - Send takes to Files, AirDrop or any app. PLAY YOUR DAW FROM THE STRINGS - Turn on MIDI out in Settings and GLIMR becomes a MIDI controller. - Strums, chords and drums play any synth or DAW over USB or Wi-Fi. Works on iPhone and iPad. No account, no subscription, no ads. Your sounds stay on your device.
