- touch position controls the timbre
- length of touch controls the decay of the sound
- turning the device affect pitch and gain
- number of touch on the screen interact with length and timbre of the sound
- altering the way it reacts by tweaking parameters in the menu

This app allows you to have a physical control over the parameters shaping an electronic bass drum sound.
Turning the device on one axis changes the pitch of the sound while the other axis controls the amount of gain.
Depending where you touch you get a different timbre, in the center the sound is deeper while on the borders you get the sound to start to a higher pitch before it gets down to the main frequency. On the vertical axis you change how fast the pitch goes down.
Using fast touches the sound rings for longer and keeping the finger on the screen blocks the vibration. Also the number of touches affects the volume and the pitch attack.
It is possible to record a loop and play over it.
In a second menu global volume for both the synthesizer and the looper are available. A switch allows to enable the sliding mode, sliding on the screen will make a sustained sound.
In the parameters menu different parameters can be changed:
- the main pitch, from 50 to 100 hertz
- the offset of the frequency when you tilt the device, from - 3 to 3 octaves
- the pitch attack amount, from 1 to 10 time the main frequency
- the maximum decay, from 0.3 seconds to 3.3 seconds
- the touch sensitivity, from 0% to 90%
