Draw Music: Melody Maker

What does your drawing sound like? Draw Music: Melody Maker turns the lines you draw into notes you can play. Layer colorful strokes, choose different instrument sounds, and hear a melody take shape on your canvas.

Make music with a drawing
Start with a blank canvas or explore 78 drawing templates. Pick an instrument, draw with your finger, then press Play to hear your sketch. Change a line and listen to how the melody changes.

Build your own mix of sounds
Choose from 13 instrument sounds, including Soft Key, Marimba, Bells, Flute, Strings, Bass, Guitar, Saxophone and an 8-bit sound. Give different parts of your drawing their own voice and combine them in one musical sketch.

Shape the rhythm and mood
- Adjust the tempo from 60 to 200 BPM.
- Explore 11 scales, including major, minor, pentatonic and blues.
- Change the musical key to hear a different mood.
- Add rhythm with 10 beat options, including bass, drums, arpeggio, kick, snare, clap and hi-hats.
- Turn on Loop to hear your idea repeat while you explore it.

Draw, edit and experiment
Switch between lines and colored cells. Erase a section, undo a change or redo a stroke as you refine your idea. Use a solid color, a gradient, an illustrated background or a photo from your device to make the canvas your own.

Keep your musical sketches
Name and save your drawings in the app. Reopen them to keep editing, or start a new version from a template. Your saved collection gives you a place to return to ideas and hear them again.

Draw Music brings drawing and melody making together in a playful space for musical experiments. A few lines can be the beginning of your next idea.
