FEATURES
Find the perfect sound
Choose from a list of collections (such as “Keys” or “Chromatic Percussive”)—each containing a group of instruments (like “Concert Grand” and “Felt Piano”)—and pick one to start playing. You can also explore presets containing curated configurations for each.
Musicality made simple
Compose by ear or select one of three scale settings from a list of musical scales or genres to ensure you’re never composing out of key. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, PlayCell allows you to focus on your creative vision.
Make every instrument your own
Use four macro controls per instrument to quickly dial in your sound or use the randomizer to create spontaneous results. Manipulate instruments further with the global controls for amplitude, tuning, and filtering.
