About PocketTone - Retro Synth

PocketTone is a hand-drawn, retro pocket synthesizer you can play anywhere. Tap the keys and a tiny lo-fi synth comes to life — complete with a green LCD, slide switches and chunky buttons, all lovingly hand-drawn. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Play five retro voices — Piano, Flute, Violin, Fantasy and Guitar. • Program your own voice the way the original did it — an eight-digit code typed on the calculator keys: waveform, envelope, vibrato, tremolo. • Jam over ten built-in rhythms — March, Rock, Bossa, Samba and more. • Shape the sound with octave, volume and a melody/rhythm balance. • Add tape-style Delay and lo-fi Crush effects. • Record what you play and share the audio with anyone. • Use the melody memory — Auto-Play, One-Key play and a built-in demo tune. • Flip to calculator mode… then play the keypad as a melody. The classic pocket-toy party trick, faithfully recreated. POCKETTONE PRO A single one-time purchase unlocks everything: all voices, all rhythms, recording & sharing, the melody memory, and the effects. No subscription — yours forever. Made as a love letter to the pocket musical toys of the 80s.

What’s new

Version 1.1.0 · Updated September 17, 2026

The ADSR voice is now programmed the way the original does it. Flip POWER to CAL and TONE to ADSR, press MC, type an eight-digit code on the keys, press M+, then flip POWER back to ON. The first digit picks one of ten waveforms — Piano, Fantasy, Violin, Flute, two Guitars, English horn and three Electro-Sounds — then attack, decay, sustain level, sustain time, release, vibrato and tremolo, 0 to 9 each. The LCD shows your code and its envelope. Try 23099130 for a violin, or 61079130 for an English horn. The sliders are gone; the code you store is kept between launches.
