Introducing a revolutionary new way to create music: by simply moving your hands in the air!

AirVox is a unique and precise musical instrument controlled without touch -- only using hand gestures and motions. Interact with AirVox via the front facing camera. Our real-time computer vision technology "sees" your hands' movements and turns it into musical notes and tones. YOU are the instrument!

No previous musical experience is required to control Airvox. Its ease-of-use and many built-in features make music creation instant, and more importantly, fun! But AirVox is also a precision instrument. You can perform with the expression and phrasing usually heard in traditional instruments.

* Move right hand up and down to control musical note / pitch
* Move left hand back & forth to control any one of 9 tonal parameters like volume or vibrato (you can turn this feature on or off: it is turned off by us on the first-launch preset to make starting out easier)
* Use other hand motions or gestures for even finer control
* AirVox has 50 musical scales, each with settable root note and octave range.
* AirVox has a complete sound engine, made of dual oscillators, many waveforms, musical filters and audio FX, including vibrato, delay, and tremolo.
* AirVox has 48 built-in presets. Tweak knobs and save any number of your own.
* Record and share your music via email, wifi or SoundCloud (also Twitter & Facebook via SoundCloud)

For best results, use AirVox in a decently lit place (it does use a camera, after all), and set it on a nice flat surface so your hands can move freely. Make sure the front camera is on your left.

IMPORTANT: Note that AirVox uses the front camera. The devices that have a front camera are: iPhone 4, iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4th Gen. AirVox works with all of these. It will not work with older devices.

Garbage

App won’t even open. Keeps crashing and have to hard reset my iPad! Don’t waste your money.


It's REAL.....!!!!

Outrageously Clever use of the front camera that turns the iPad into a Theremin with precise scalar control (Check the presets). I was VERY skeptical of the developer's claims, until I followed instructions & was AMAZED. Cool sounds too!


Innovative and Fun!

I've been enjoying Yonac's apps since the beginning. And this new instrument interaction takes iPhone/iPad apps to the next level. This will surely change the way we use iPhone/iPad from this point forward. So Cool!!!


Too much fun!!!

Love it! The most fun I have had for 3 bucks in a long time! This is really a cool idea and I cannot wait for more development in this direction.


Really nice

Cool app can't wait for the next up date Even with the synth this is really going to go far. Nice work.


Magic tricks

My doubts crumbled to dust… It works too well. If we can't travel in time, at least we can hover over things to control them.


Unique instrument

Too creative. Instead of touch, the app lets your hands do the work on the air. Entirely Unique approach to synthesized music creation.


Cool technology
Favbeats

Could use better sounds/presets and better quality.... Maybe in next update?


Almost perfect!

Pretty awesome start and well worth the price. There are a couple of things I need before I can use it in live theater sound effects atmosphere: adjustment of volume... Maybe a 3inch volume control slider that can allow me to punctuate the notes better, and in settings I would like to control the slide-ability of the notes... So they bend to each other better. Add those features and you have a pretty professional instrument here. Still fun as entertainment for the masses.


Awesome!

This is too cool. Fun to show off to friends. But my only complaint is to stop the sounds from playing while you're changing the settings. Other than that it's freaking sweet!
