Draw a line. Hear it play. Cue is a drawing instrument. A playhead sweeps across the paper on a loop, and every line it crosses sounds a note. High on the page is high in pitch, left to right is time. That's the whole idea — your drawing is the score. No notation, no piano roll, nothing to learn before you start. HOW IT WORKS • Draw a stroke and it plays on the next pass • Draw a second stroke in another colour and they harmonise where they cross • Hold a line flat and the note sustains instead of repeating • Tap dots on the drum inks for a beat • Pick a key, scale, tempo and grid — the drawing re-pitches itself to match EIGHTEEN INKS, EIGHTEEN VOICES Every ink colour is a different instrument: Keys, Bass, Pluck, Lead, Bell, Pad, Harp, Choir, Glass, Wood, Reed, Bloom and Drone, plus Kick, Hat, Clap, Tom and Rain for rhythm.

Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be.

Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
