Feature List

4 hand-drawn coloring books, 30+ templates


Share your creations


Melodraw exports your horizontal, square, or vertical videos ready for sharing with your friends or uploading to other platforms. Using Steam Timeline, you can also record and share videos right here on Steam.

Symmetrize your drawings


The snowflake option lets you paint up to 64 strokes simultaneously, mirror horizontally or vertically, optionally coloring every stroke with a different color.

Pressure-sensitive drawing, MIDI keyboard support


Do you own a gamepad or a drawing tablet? This game recognizes the pressure on the right trigger or the stylus and draws lines accordingly. Optionally, you can also let the pressure drive the musical scale. If you own a MIDI keyboard, you can play notes while drawing. (Alternatively, use the keys above the space bar on your keyboard to play some notes as well.)

About This Game

Melodraw is an audiovisual experiment to answer the question: What if drawings made music? Draw and let your stroke lengths, pen pressure – and more – drive the melody you create. Once you are finished, export your creation to a video, picture, or sound file you can share with others.

Let your paintings be heard


As you paint, Melodraw makes music based on how or where you draw. Whether you like the sound of aliens, robots, or you'd rather stick with pure sound, there's an option for you. Modulate, change the musical scale, or the shape of your sound waves to your liking. Pick your favorite sound mode: left to right, distance from center, stroke length, stroke speed, or gamepad RT / drawing tablet pen pressure.
