Do you want to play an electric guitar and a piano at the same time? What about choosing the electrifying buzz of a drill and blending it into the soothing tone of a human voice? Jordan Rudess and Kevin Chartier’s Tachyon gives you all these options and more.

From the makers of the award winning app, MorphWiz, comes a new creation that allows images and sound to become one as they magically blend under your fingertips. Each note you play is an individual expression, allowing independent control of pitch and tone far beyond that of traditional instruments.

Most instruments only allow you to play one sound at a time, but with Tachyon, you can seamlessly blend between any two sounds as you slide your fingers up and down the screen.

The visual experience of Tachyon is just as mesmerizing. As you move along the playing surface, a field of twinkling stars morphs into the shape of your selected instrument, allowing a direct correlation between sight and sound.

As described by Jordan Rudess, “Tachyon is simple to use and at the same time offers a unique musical expressive power. The sonic core of the app is a custom crafted sound set from my personal library, encompassing sounds as familiar as those you would find in your home toolbox, and as exclusive as the ones I use on tour with Dream Theater."

Whether you’re a seasoned musician looking for a next generation instrument to further express your creativity, or just a regular Joe browsing the app store looking for a fun and simple purchase that will delight the whole family, Tachyon is the app for you!

Pros and cons of Tachyon app for iPhone and iPad

Tachyon app good for

A simple but amazing instrument. I would suggest giving it a few more features, such as: 1. Reverb settings 2. Keyboard view 3. More sounds
Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater has developed another wonderful music making App. It is easy to use & in no time you can create nice sounding vibes. I especially like jamming with myself by using the delay so that the two chosen sounds reply to each other. Of course there are more than 2 sounds & many presets to help you out in the beginning. Again a must buy Wizdom music gem.
1. Great Sounds... 2. Great Idea (blending different instruments) 3. Low price! ( for this price it is totally ok that there is no audio paste , record etc. )
...well, as all apps from these guys....its a real musicinstrument with good sound and amazing usability.... and its the simplicity that makes it so useful and expressive.... its no app to fool around.....its an app to really play and produce with..... no need for a synth or a recording option.....a moving filter in the fx section would be nice.... this app really needs to be played.....on stage or straight into a daw..... and hey guys....you can higher the price....its worth it....
Jordan Rudess creates another fantastic app. Fun and easy to use. Play beautiful melodies and enjoy the visual dream theater interface.
Mr. Rudess does it again! Excellent job, simple interface, cool visuals and cool sounds. It would be great if you could record your own samples like you can in sample wiz.

Some bad moments

Perhaps theres a button I didnt find, even though it seems extremely simple, but Im ready to trash it after 5 minutes wondering why it doesnt sound good.
Well, its nice, good sounds and one will have a lot of fun with it……. and thats it. Fun. If there would be a record button, it would become useful and I would be glad to give the rest of the stars. For now, as being useless for musicians: only 1 star.
I love the way this app works and the visual presentation is truly well done. I will definitely be spending a great deal of time using Tachyon.
I just purchased this, and I cant put it down at the moment! I think visually this is an upgrade from Morphiz, and anyone who has wondered what Jordans apps are like, should definitely give this a look! $2 is well with the price.
Very cool app, useable sounds, but I wish it could load sounds from Sample Wiz like you can with Geo, Im already hearing great musical ideas with it.
Very cool interface and an inspiring mix of instruments, I would say its a very fun app that can be useful for musical inspiration.
