Bring your Music to Life. Skym is the ultimate producer's tool for real time, expressive sound design. Turn your iOS device into a dimensional midi controller and explore sound design crafted by pioneering producers and artists. Skym works exactly like a midi controller you would plug into your DAW but at a fraction of the price. Instead of focusing on keys and notes and scales, we have put the focus on dimensional and expressive touch data, allowing the artist to translate gestures as clearly as possible. From this simple input to your DAW, the possibilities are endless. Explore our expertly crafted sound design by Somatoast, 5AM, Entangled Mind, Flotela and more.

Very cool with Ableton
I got the app and the rack presets on the resguided website. Very cool possibilities with effects!
Incredible tool for sound design and performance
Absolute love the app only had it for a week or two but already using it regularly. Love the simplicity as well!
A human approach
Skym is great. Finally, a simple way to perform automation. The feature I have really been into is the gating. The rhythms that you can create are insane. I will be using this all the time.
Skym is a game changer!!
This app allows you to essentially turn your iOS device into a macro controlling chaos pad with an amazing X,Y,Z axis system. You can map multiple parameters in your daw and easily control them with the swipe of a finger. 10/10 highly recommend
Concept sounds cool but not working in Ableton 11
The user remote script has not been updated to work in Ableton 11. From what I have read online Ableton 11 has migrated their code base to Python 3 from Python 2 thus requiring an updated script. So if you’re using Ableton 11 just be aware this has not been updated to work as far as I know. Will rerate if/when this gets updated. EDIT: this was fixed to work with Ableton 11 and is working great!! Sick for sound design and automating parameters on the fly
Unleash your full potential
Exponential creative earnings are awaiting your every second. This app approaches sound design in a truly one of a kind fashion. Touch activation and organic kinetic expression you’ll find sounds that you would have never dreamed off. Watch a bunch of the videos and just experiment with it to get the hang of it. Truly inspiring software which isn’t something you find often.
Super cool app
This app takes so much confusion out of the way and allows me to just use my ear to decide how I want to sound rather than the knobs and waves of plugins.
