Company Summary

For all the digital music makers who are tired of being stuck using the generic, mechanical notes of current digital note input. Our Whirled tablet app lets you draw paths - lines, curves etc. - to precisely input intricate, nuanced pitch, volume and modulations. No fudging with pitch bend and modulation wheels. Just your finger and imagination to input previously inexpressible dynamic melodies and harmonies. See the video below.
