From the makers of the award winning app, MorphWiz, comes a new creation that allows images and sound to become one as they magically blend under your fingertips. Each note you play is an individual expression, allowing independent control of pitch and tone far beyond that of traditional instruments.
Most instruments only allow you to play one sound at a time, but with Tachyon, you can seamlessly blend between any two sounds as you slide your fingers up and down the screen.
The visual experience of Tachyon is just as mesmerizing. As you move along the playing surface, a field of twinkling stars morphs into the shape of your selected instrument, allowing a direct correlation between sight and sound.
As described by Jordan Rudess, “Tachyon is simple to use and at the same time offers a unique musical expressive power. The sonic core of the app is a custom crafted sound set from my personal library, encompassing sounds as familiar as those you would find in your home toolbox, and as exclusive as the ones I use on tour with Dream Theater."
Whether you’re a seasoned musician looking for a next generation instrument to further express your creativity, or just a regular Joe browsing the app store looking for a fun and simple purchase that will delight the whole family, Tachyon is the app for you!

I love the way this app works and the visual presentation is truly well done. I will definitely be spending a great deal of time using Tachyon.

I just purchased this, and I can't put it down at the moment! I think visually this is an upgrade from Morphiz, and anyone who has wondered what Jordan's apps are like, should definitely give this a look! $2 is well with the price.

Very cool app, useable sounds, but I wish it could load sounds from Sample Wiz like you can with Geo, I'm already hearing great musical ideas with it.
Cool

Very cool interface and an inspiring mix of instruments, I would say it's a very fun app that can be useful for musical inspiration.
Seriously...Just Buy It

This is another fantastic app made the amazing Jordan Rudess who just keeps on giving. I am having a lot of fun with Tachyon. I'm not much of a pianist, but that does not mean I can't play this and that's whats so cool about all of Wizdom Music's apps - they are for everyone! The idea of being able to morph between sounds was a good one! Just buy this and every other app put out by this company and you will certainly be glad you did.
Its not samplewiz

What i mean by that is its nowhere in the same league imho. Its got a very linited sound pallette...but its 2 bucks! The animations are more trippy on samplewiz and morphwiz...lol The sounds are okay...nothing to write home about Hopefully more patches will come or this thing will fizzle quickly like morphwiz did. I read there was a utility coming for samplewiz...i thought this was it...it is not. Cant wait until samplewiz is updated, now thats an app!

Please continue to make new sounds, and make the ability to import our own sounds from Samplewiz. Also make a button to lock the menu buttons so u don't accidentally hit them while playing. Importing sounds from Samplewiz would be great, great app.
Unbelievable

Awesome app put out by an amazing company. Tachyon allows for very expressive playing and morphing between sounds. Very easy to play. This was only two dollars but i wouldn't hesitate to pay more. Just buy it!!
