A pocket handpan that writes down what you play.
Ritmik Handpan grew out of Ritmik, our rhythm notation app. The handpan needed tools of its own, so it got an app of its own. Sevgi from our team recorded all 12 of its handpan sounds.
Play
Tap it and see it written
Tap the ding 4 times to set your tempo, then play. Every note lands on the staff as you go. Stop for a measure and the take pauses, ready to play back or save.
- A full pan: the ding, 8 tone fields, and tap, slap and knock on both sides
- Notes sound the moment your finger lands, and two hands can play together
- Write on a grid of eighth or sixteenth notes, in 4/4, 3/4, 2/4 or 6/8
- 7 pan colours and 4 backgrounds, from white to dark grey
