Something off?
Report an issueBeen saving up for that Hang, but don't have quite enough yet? You can get busy on our version of the infamous steel instrument. Start it up, bang away, even record your own loop to play along with. So authentic, your friends will think yours has already arrived. Fill them in on the secret, and they too can download and record their own creations. Do I hear a "Hang out"???
Features include: * Audiobus 2 support including state saving * 45 tunings including microtonal tunings * Sounds sampled from actual instrument * Loop recording and playback
Little bit of information about the Hang ... The Hang is a steel percussion instrument that is typically played using the hands and fingers while it rests in the musician's lap. It was developed in Switzerland in 2000 by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer. There are currently 5 generation models.
Ours is a first generation Hang that defaults to the Aeolian tuning with a D3 central note and a A3 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 A4 tone loop. The eight notes are arranged in a 'Tone Circle' that zig-zag from low to high and are harmonically tuned around the low 'Ding' note in the center. Select from 45 tunings including microtonal tunings. These various tunings can be mixed into loops that are being constructed.
Many thanks and kudos to Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer for creating such a unique, elegant, and fun instrument. For more information about the origin of the Hang, to hear some sound samples, or just to see someone kickin' it, visit one of the following:

The loop recording in all of the OddTunes apps is roughly modelled after the Gibson / Oberheim Echoplex Digital Pro. While there are only a few buttons, there is much more functionality there than meets the eye. For more information on the operation of the looper, please visit our Web site at the following address:

OddTunes:Hang is one of the many fine instruments coming your way from the Avacata iPhone development team. Stay tuned for new upcoming OddTunes releases and additions to the loop recording capabilities.
From one musician to another ... it's Hang time. Ding, Ding, Ding.

8 of 25Really impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of this app. One reviewer dropped a star because you can't custom tune (which would be a bonus) but they include a large library of preset tunings, unlike other hang drum apps. This is truly one of the best musical apps in the App Store. Get the paid version, it's worth every penny!
Well it's working fine on my iPhone but messed up on my iPad 3 It seems out of alignment and notes don't play where they should or only part of the scale plays Anyone else having this problem?
Been playing this app for years now, but there’s so many other scales that I love to explore period I love the variety, he’s already got. I would love the ability to change the dings manually. otherwise this thing is hours of fun, highly recommend it so much fun! i’ve played it till it drained my entire car battery and I needed to jump the car. Totally lost myself in the app, playing with other people. I need to get a real handpan. I tried getting one off of Amazon, that was really pretty, but totally sucked. Only five of the things played so now I’m saving to get the one I really want from acolyte instruments.com. But Hang, the app is what is holding me over until then. If you guys could make it so that you could assign the tones to different things, I would probably spend a whole lot more time playing. Could you do that? maybe over Christmas? Heck, I pay $10 for that feature.
Great app. I've wanted to try this for so long. But when I touch tunings on the left bottom corner, the application crashes. Please fix!
This app has so many different tunings, it’s great! Love it!
Love it!!! I have a lotus steeldrum that I love, but it doesn't compare to the sound of a hang. So glad I found this.
This is amazing for the price it’s in such condition that you want to give or pay for this or donate this is really good these pans Ramz are expensive and they’re not easy to come by so this one with all his notes is amazing.
Love this little app, especially with all the tunings. If you could just add the sunpan (happy spring garden) tuning in Ab I'd be totally obsessed, or maybe even an option to create our own tuning. Or another future update to be able to manipulate sound like the bell tone in the middle or bending tones. Really nice though!
