About ARPIO a new musical instrument

ARPIO is a new musical instrument designed to play arpeggios*. Move up-and-down the matrix to set the arpeggio's speed, or left-and-right to set its pitch. Tilt the device for accelerometer-controlled volume and pitchbend, or shake for vibrato.


You may be interested in ARPIO if you play piano, guitar, violin, drums, synthesizer, arpeggiators, cello, or bass. Also, if you use digital audio workstations like Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, Logic Pro, Fruity Loops, or Pro Tools.

In the future, MIDI support may be added depending on interest. This would turn ARPIO into a MIDI arpeggiator, allowing you to control hardware synthesizers like those made by Moog, Roland, Korg, Dave Smith Instruments, Elektron, Arturia, Yamaha, and others.


A similar version of ARPIO is available on iOS devices, under the name Arpeggionome.


*An arpeggio is a musical technique where notes in a chord are played in sequence, rather than ringing out simultaneously.

Ive purchased the full version and the extras but.....The screen is upside down. It wont flip around when I tilt my screen. Its the only app that wont orientate correctly on my tablet. Samsung galaxy tab 3 10" Any fix for this?? 5 stars for the creator if there is a fix.

You know you have a good app on your hands when you forget how long you've been enjoying it! One thing though, could we have one more pack to start out with for free? Thanks. Ohodqh. (Anonymous)

First and foremost, this "new insutrument" is awesome and super easy to use; however, I would like to see a few things added... 1. If you guys could add the possibility of recording, that would be awesome! 2. Add different colors...? Each bubble can have a different color. Instead of seeing the same old orange and blue, maybe add like red and green, blue and black, white and gold, etc. I haven't bought anything yet, but I do plan on it in the near future. :D

Its like a mini launchpad but on an android phone. But the only one problem i have is the colors. In the next update can you add like a option for colors. And can you make the other sounds free because im 11 and i dont have any money.

This application flashes as you use it. I can't find a way to stop it. Possible seizure warning. Make the flashing optional get five stars.

This is awesome. I didn't realize the notes bend when you shake it too. Excellent idea you should make some different sounding synths and maybe a drum version would be epic

This is one AMAZING synth/arpeggiator. I literaly locked myself in a room and played on this for HOURS! I would continue writing bit I am soooo thirsty.

'buy more than two patterns in the store!' 'get the advanced version to change the tempo and more!' GFY! STOP PRETENDING YOUR APP IS FREE

It is the best launchpad for making songs. I only have one problem, why cant you overlap notes? Still great for playing music though. ☺☺☺

Developer is greedy. Boring after 2 minutes and not worth all the money they want for more sounds and settings

U70%
by U####:

I would like if this had some kind of multi touch, to allow you to much less abruptly shift tempos, like maybe a tempo slider on both sides of the screen so you can bend the tempo so the transmissions between tempo levels aren't jarring. Besides that I love this app already. It'll be great fun on the bus.

This app is beyond brilliant in my opinion. Over the last couple of months of using it I can make some amazing riffs using just one line. I've purchased the full version including all the packs and theres one or two I can't get a decent beat with but besides that it's awesome and fun for hours. I had an idea of you guys maybe including a way of having two packs loaded up and ready to use on the same sceen. And maybe keeping each pack down to about four lines. Love it though guys cheers.

Great app runs pretty smoothly on my asus tf101 tablet however it forces rotation to the upside down position and will not rotate to any other position.

It's an excellent music app to fool around in but you really cant do anything until you spend some money. Highly recommend it if you want to burn time but nothing extravagant.

X70%
by X####:

Again another app that had potential but lacks so much. It's nothing more than an arpeggiated tone. No option for random, up, down. Arp sounds are awesome but they are boring after a bit unless you drop a beat, right??

U70%
by U####:

I'll buy it if there's an option to make our OWN patterns and add samples. The one and only robotic sound gets boring in the long run.

If I could create my own patterns and export to midi, I would pay for this. Can't justify it just yet.

I really like making dubatep I'm not the best but pretty good and this is my 2nd fav dubstep maker :D

I have this on an iPod touch. I am really happy to see ARPIO is now on Android. It sounds great as it is and with Lollipop 5.1 on my android, it runs amazingly well. Though like this software, before I make a purchase I really need those midi features. Now that Lollipop 5.1 has been revamped for better midi handling, it should be easier to make midi happen through OTG USB. So as soon as midi is added I'll buy the full program and change my rating from 3 to 5 stars. For now it is just a fun toy but

It would be amazing if you guys were to eventually add in the option to loop/record multiple paterns and add some simple toggles for the user to play around with (cutoff filters, delay, reverb, perhaps distortion) being able to record it in MIDI & export what you make in it. I know its a lot of stuff, but they are just ideas which in my opinion would make this already amazing app better for people who want to take their creativity to another level and it would be super useful because its mobile :)

I don't see any way to use this and expect to get any kind of musically recognizable tune. Also, those tones get annoying... I think you'd do much better to use "familiar" tones, like Harp, Piano, Marimba, etc. Might be fun for children, tho.

I purchased it on my phone, including one or two sound packs. Went to use it on my tablet and it hasnt carried over?? I upgraded once, why should i have to do it again. Unhappy.

I'm actually learning from this, even if I have the version one starts off with. I like the tunes, reminds of some 8-bit Dubstep I've heard :D (One for all, all for one by: Razihel, is the song I'm talking about btw) :)

If this supported Android 6.0s new Midi over USB feature I would instantly buy it. If I could use this program as a Midi instrument I would buy every pattern pack and the advanced upgrade almost instantly.

If you look at the ARPIO in an easy perspective, you'll find it very entertaining and groovy.

There's no record option on this thing, I would appreciate it if you could do that.

It sucks because you need too buy all of that seprertly and no buying that crap lol

I really enjoy the sound and the whole concept of it. But it's lacking some options I think would put it over the top. Like being able to push two notes at once and create composite arpeggios. And possibly having a small bank of additional sounds. Aside from that it's a very fun and playable instrument. I've had a lot of fun playing it with my tb3 and tr8.

by N####:

This is definitely the best arp I've come across. It is intuitive and the interface is visually appealing and adds to the overall vibe as you play your patterns. I'd definitely love to see a save to midi feature or direct control of software instruments over wifi. I would definitely pay for more patterns and advanced options as well, like setting different in build sounds or playing with the reverb. Great app!

There should be more instruments available right off the bat and the tempo and octave shouldn't have to be purchased

An (truly) innovative app/instrument unlike anything I've ever seen. The closest thing maybe being the Theremin. Very mesmerizing to play music with this & I was so hooked that after about only 5 straight minutes, I bought it & some of the extras, too! Wow, my bf & I just sat here playing with Arpio for what seemed like forever. It's very entrancing & calming, very soothing. Very good developing, too. Well made & very interesting applications of the gyro & sensors. Deserves awards, IMO! Thanks
