GyroSynth is a gesture driven music synthesizer, which takes full adventage of the gyroscope. You can play and modulate the sound by moving your hand through the air - just like the legendary Theremin instrument.
GyroSynth makes use of the gyroscope to measure true roll, pitch, and yaw and translates them to sound parameters like pitch, volume, modulation or filter cutoff. Thanks to phenomenal accuracy (2000 degrees), you can play melodies perfectly in tune.
GyroSynth is a finalist in Most Innovative App category at the 2010 Best App Ever Awards (148apps).

Pros and cons of GyroSynth app for iPhone and iPad
GyroSynth app good for
Amazing! Still trippin with the sounds. Incredible app for modern musicians.
Its amazing! But can you give us the option to change the scale key (C, C#, D, D#, and so on...)??? It will be perfect. Thanks!
Really nice and innovative app to make music or sfx! Definitely fun stuff. It takes time to master the gyroscope instrument, though.
Kinda hard at first, but once you get it, its very fun!
Great apps
This is soooo cool. You could really impress your friends and coworkers with this. Even stand on the street corner with a hat, collecting money while you play. People will be like,
WFT?
Sofa king cool!!!
Fantastic app, Wish you had the option to record after getting the hang of it. Two thumbs up anyway
Some bad moments
What the point of this app anyway? So it makes shrill sounds based on the movement of the gyroscope. To call that music is a stretch. Think nails on a chalkboard.
Great great app until ios8: now it crashes as soon as I open it. Please release a new update!!!!!!!
I cant put this thing down. Pulled it out with my band tonight and put a solo down with the the blues major scale setting... So much fun.
Very inventive! Slick spatial interface. Could use some control over the oscillators- bur until then, Ill work on my pitch! Just great.
This app is great at what it does. Its an easy to use, highly customizable, intuitive theremin synth. Just wish I could copy audio into other iOS programs to multitrack.
Its very accurate, sound is great (especially singing voice) after an hour Im able to play any melody. friends are impressed.
