Ethereal Dialpad (synthesizer)

A simple, visual and instinctive synthesizer that can be a fun time waster. The settings menu has a nice range of options that alter the sound significantly. Unfortunately, you have to exit your current dialpad to access the settings screen, and then exit the settings screen to select the dialpad again. This is a major usability wart that prevents effective and intuitive exploration of the otherwise nice sound engine.

Literally the best app on the android market. I swear there is not an app that doesn't serve a necessary utilitarian function that beats this app. If i had any money; i would hire the team that made this and i would say, "thank you so much for creating something that is so brilliant and stunning, so soul calming, energizing, and wonderful. Please live your lives comfortably and with substantial wealth, and grace the planet earth with your brilliant, life enriching android applications." [7] Really tho,

First ever review I've written. Beautiful, first app I've downloaded that didn't need "special permission". Well done for keeping it simple. It's so relaxing to play an App without ads or interruption. So basic, just pick your background and enjoy. If you ever update sounds and effects that be awesome.

N absltly amzng nd fbls app i aw cme acrs thru afh a long time. T has nw bcum mah fav time pass. . Sumtimes. I cme out wi vei plsnt creatns in dis app but thn aw no option ta lstn t again. . So if sum rcrdng nd saving d same to sd option s also incldd :-) Den t ll b fab fab fab. Still a 5 star to dis app. . Bt if this s also cncrnd den t ll b 7 stars. . :-)

I LOVE THIS APP AND SO DOES EVERYONE I SHOW IT TO! UPDATE: All games should have App to SD capabilities, IMO. Took off one star for that & will keep this only on my Nexus 7, not my phones that have SD cards. Still love the lack of permissions though.

(Music therapist) you really should check out this app. Holy cr*#! It is awesome. Would be great to use with clients with physical or intellectual disabilities. Higher functioning clients could really get into creating an expressive piece. Really needs a way to record creations. Thank you for sharing this with us!

This app is bliss to people like myself with no music sense. You can be Beethoven with your finger and handheld! Amazing when you're spaced out and got time to kill. Would love to see better graphics, more refined and up-to-date UI.

I would love to see support for 'immersive mode' on Android 4.4+. My 1yo child loves to play around with the synth, but will inevitably hit the home panel and thus terminate the session prematurely. Will you please make that happen? It would really make your instrument significantly more fun!

He'll email you the code with no restrictions if you wish to improve, the app brings instant happiness to all who use it. Its like toddler lock for daddy. I can't wait for electric forest in Rothbury, Mi, its just the thing to keep creative juices flowing. Have a blast with this app if you understand patterns in color, light, sound, mathematics. Hot for the 80's? Flange effects and synth enough for depeche, ridiculously beautiful enough for James st James, the app for the kid in all of us!

Ethereal is an incredibly apt name for this application. Wow...it's just so much fun! Overall i definitely find it tranquil for sure. I love the freedom it allows to just move and create whatever sounds you want. It is very accurate as well. Granted I'm running it on a dual-core phone, but i loved how it picked up every pass i made it at it precisely. I can see using this app to entertain and amaze those around me, and hopefully to zone out while i dial into the ethereal realm. Thank you developer! Rezound

It's really cool by itself or paired with some trippy beats defanatly brings the world trip hop thing. I love the options too. You can see where the notes are on one of them. Thanks a ton

Beautiful core functionality, dated UI, stability issues in some plugins ... Beautiful core functionality, dated UI, stability issues in some plugins Ethereal Dialpad is still a beautiful, simple-to-use music generator. My daughter loved being able to make her own music before she was even 6 months old - Still the first app I'd recommend to a new user, but it's starting to show it's age: As you might expect for an app that hasn't seen an update since adding Cupcake 1.5 support, however, there are some serious UI and stability issues. Plugins like the Night Sky and Moonblink's Grid are unstable on every ICS-->KitKat device I've tested them on. (S2 ICS, Nexus 4, 5, and 7 stock - Stable in all other modes.) Perhaps most importantly, Ethereal Dialpad lacks a full-screen mode/lacks the ability to independently hide the virtual keys found on most modern Android phones and tablets. Badly breaks the user's experience if you glide your finger a bit too close to the virtual keys, all of which exit the app. But for that minor problem, this is easily the most kid-friendly app I've ever seen. (Less important, but the absence of an update also means there's no in-app donate option [just an old school empty app], and leaves somewhat dated menus.)

In fact, way better than i can tell- i was checking it out while making pancakes... Now ill have to eat burned pancakes because of this app. Im not even mad really, it is amazing!

Pretty cool & responsive. Not very much latency making this actually a really great app for making ambient music.

This is an awesome app. Please add a feature of adjusting the delay time. And also add a Blues Scale with a #4 in.

Its really good, but it could do with more sounds and settings etc. It would be good to use it with my music but it needs more variety and control.

Nice and simple app that reminds me of morphwiz for iPhone. Really fun, but would like vibrato, and more sound options and effects.

Didn't know I could turn my mobile into a synthesizer. Really beautiful sounds and fun to have to chill out to. Well done the developer.

Utilize the 'Moonblink' interface and you'll see how this works. To the developers: this is awesome, and a more intricate settings menu would be bitchin'-kool in a future release. I would totally pay for that; delay & reverb settings, and the like. Xox.

Intuitive chromatic synth with a few different display options. I like the grid for its functionality, but the others are beautiful too.

Very unique tool which would be even more useful if you implemented a record function! You're an advocate of programming and I'm currently coding my own game with GML. This app would be great for atmospheric chiptune type stuff. I'd be really grateful if you could do that?

Feels like a toy more than any musical tool whatsoever but it's amazing with its ideas nonetheless.

I am a musician and honestly this is a very very good music app,its actualy quite a decent instrument,great for ad lib lead lines

This application is so incredible and fascinating! It's not often that I comment on an application, but this hit a home run with myself and my friend

Fun to play with for a bit. My 1 year old nephew loved the sounds and colours. As an instrument, it's sort of imprecise and unwieldy.

Wow! I've been playing with this like a kid! It's a great toy. 1) I second the request to add a "record" feature, or even midi output. 2) It doesn't seem to be multitouch on my Samsung Nexus S running ICS. For most dialpads, the second input is ignored; under "NightSky" (which I adore, BTW), the app dies when a second touch is registered. Still great fun!

Awesome music maker. It would be nice if it had a record wav and save file function. The wav files then can be used in many other programs.

I like it because it is so simple. Really light weight and works as per my expectations. Thank you so much. I want to appreciate its maker.
