Use Any Picture to Make Music on Your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

Pixound App, the latest addition to the Pixound product suite turns your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into an amazing musical diversion. Imagine creating music in real-time, using any picture you choose as a unique controlling interface for a vast range of sounds and musical parameters. Pixound makes that a reality.

Pixound qualifies as both fun and useful. If endless hours of play are't use enough, iPixound provides a very friendly, logically structured means for the exploration and understanding of fundamental musical components such as scale / modality, chord progression / transposition, rhythm / beat, tempo and note value.

One does not have to be a musician to achieve a great performance with Pixound. If, however, you do happen to be a musician you will delight in the fabulous visual / musical playground Pixound opens up for you.

At the heart of this one-of-a-kind software is a patented technology that translates RGB color information into musical information, thus enabeling you to make music using pictures and videos as the control interface, simply by moving your finger over the image. The music produced is fully structured by you in the music settings you select, in any key, any scale (over 60 to choose from), at any tempo and using any instruments. You may also load presets that you have saved from past settings that you like or use presets that we provide with the software. In the future, preset packages will be available from Technemedia and other Pixound enthusiasts.
