Handpan Sim

Handpan Sim is a realistic handpan and pantam drum simulator for your phone and tablet. Every tone is sampled from a real handpan and rings out naturally in a warm room, so a single tap already sounds like music. No account and no lessons to sit through: open the app and play.

Play it like the real thing
- Tap a tone field for melody and the centre for the deep Ding. Use several fingers for chords.
- Tak and Knuckle keys add percussion beside the drum. On a tablet, a hit on the bare shell plays a tak.
- Touch dynamics: hits at the centre of a field sound fuller, hits near the edge softer, and every hit varies slightly, like a real pan.
- Slide to play: run your finger across the fields to play fast rolls without lifting it.
- A low-latency audio engine keeps every note tight and responsive.

63 handpan scales on any Ding
Play Kurd, Celtic Minor and Amara, Hijaz, Pygmy and Low Pygmy, Integral, Mystic, La Sirena, Aegean, Sabye, Equinox, Golden Gate, Magic Voyage, Ysha Savita, Avalon, Akebono, Insen, Raga Desh, Saladin and many more. Move the Ding up or down to play any scale in the key you want. Search by name or note, browse by family and preview a scale before it goes on stage. Choose a Centered or Split note layout, with note names, numbers or both on the drum.

Loop and layer
The Looper records a phrase and repeats it so you can play over it. Add layer after layer, mute or balance each one, undo and redo. Set tempo, beats per bar and count-in, or tap the tempo in; change the tempo and the loop stretches to fit. A metronome keeps you in time.

Record and share
Record performances of up to 30 minutes, save a loop as a recording with the number of repeats you choose, and share any take as a WAV file to your DAW, messages or social apps.

Your stage
Fourteen finishes, from Leather and Brass to Nitrided Obsidian and Rose Gold, an ambient lamp and strike glow you can tune to any colour, reverb, master volume and haptic feedback. Handpan Sim is designed for phones in portrait and for tablets in both portrait and landscape.

Great for
Meditation and yoga sessions, relaxing after work, sound healing practice, songwriting, film and game sketches, or trying a handpan, also called a pantam, before you buy one.

Free to play
The full instrument, the Looper, the metronome and recording are free. Kurd 9, Amara 9 and Hijaz 9 are open from the start, and any other scale opens for the session with a short ad.
