Software has no body.

I build synthesizer apps for the iPad, and the absence of touch always bothered me. However good the sound got, however much care went in, it was still a cold slab and a sheet of glass.

The synthesizers I love have a body. They have thickness. Perhaps that is exactly what an iPad synth is missing.

An iPad with side panels, like a vintage analogue synth. That might bring it closer to an instrument. That thought is where this stand began.

Give a body to what has none. And in doing so, blur the line between the digital and the real. That is what twelvetone tools wants to make.
