Aether Hands: Theremin Synth

Play a theremin in the air. Aether Hands uses your iPhone or iPad camera to follow your hand, so moving a fingertip plays the note and no touch is needed.

The theremin is the instrument you play without touching it, known for its eerie, singing voice in classic science-fiction films. Aether Hands brings it to your device with a sound modelled on the real instrument and a walnut-and-brass cabinet on screen. You do not need to read music or to have seen a theremin before.

PLAY IN THE AIR
• Move your index fingertip left and right to change the note.
• Shape the volume your way: raise and lower your hand, pinch thumb and finger, or use your second hand.
• Strings of light show where each note is and glow as you play.

LEARN YOUR FIRST MELODY
• Play along with a guiding hand and falling notes, one phrase at a time.
• Six songs are built in: Twinkle Twinkle, Ode to Joy, The Swan, Silent Night, Brahms' Lullaby and Auld Lang Syne.
• Pick a key and a scale (major, minor, pentatonic, blues or chromatic) and snap to it so every note fits.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Glide freely like a real theremin, or lock to notes for easier tunes.
• Add vibrato, echo and reverb.
• Switch to Classic Theremin to play by touch, with knobs, antenna and volume loop.

RECORD AND SHARE
• Film yourself playing, with the sound you make, for up to 90 seconds.
• Save the video to Photos or share it.

MADE FOR EVERYONE
• Works with VoiceOver and can speak note names as you play.
• Haptic guidance and a target-note cue help you follow a song without looking.
• Respects Reduce Motion and Increase Contrast.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
The camera image is processed on your device and never leaves it.
