"Inspired by instruments like the Hang drum and other idiophones Mandala Music is a new kind of percussion instrument for the iPhone. The instrument consists of eight notes arranged in a circle or Mandala around a central note (called the ding on a Hang). The sound, which is generated by an FM synthesizer, is varied by four controls: 1) octave, frequency, modulation, and decay. The notes are based on the scale selected in the settings window. Thirty-three different scales from around the world used in first-generation Hang drums are provided. A tuning setting allows the player to change the key of the instrument."Available on iTunes here:
