Overview

Sonari turns your Mac into a hand-gesture instrument. Play notes and shape expression by moving in front of your camera, with no hardware controller in your hands.

Play standalone with Sonari’s built-in synth and 10,000+ sounds, or send MIDI into the DAW you already use. Sonari’s live visuals respond to the performance, on your Mac display or a projector. Capture ideas with its looper and recorder, then work with your take.

The optional free Sonari Remote app adds touch, motion and breath controls from an iPhone. Your Mac remains the sound source.
