ROADMAP
Built in the open.
Backpan ships something new most weeks, shaped by the players already in the beta. Here is everything that is live today, and what is coming next.
- Any handpan, any scale. Algorithmic layout, any tonic, 8 to 21 notes, 20 scales.
- Handpan builder. Pick a popular model or set the ding, scale and note count, then save your own.
- Backing-track loops in your key. Percussion, bass, drone and chords, generated in your scale.
- Curated flows and melody presets. 33 flows and 14 melodies to start from.
- Chord explorer. Chords light up as constellations across the pan.
- Cross-instrument. One composition plays on 98 sampled voices, from kalimba to marimba.
- Real Freepats recordings. CC0 samples of an actual handpan, never synthesis.
- Record four synced tracks. Handpan, bass, drone and percussion, captured together.
- Share by link. The URL carries your patch, so a friend opens the same setup on their phone.
- Stage mode, in five languages. A full-screen performance view in EN, FR, ES, DE and JA.
- Polyrhythm visualizer. See 3:2, 4:3 and additive 7/8 as they play.
- Scan your handpan. Play a few notes into the mic and get your exact layout.
- Community catalog. Browse, remix and fork what other players share.
- Aria, your composing coach. Describe a mood and it sets up the studio.
- MIDI export. Take your composition into any DAW.
- Selfie-video overlay. Film yourself with the visual pan layered on top.
- Install and cloud sync. An offline app, with your work on every device.
