Soniface is a digital space for the creative moment, an instrument, tool and through its peculiarities a work of art in itself. The app is very different from other music apps and tools. In this way it is new and open to all, whether beginners or experts. 

Take some time, see for yourself and explore the instruments and presets, the controllers and visuals. Try, celebrate, fail, everything is possible in the musical process. Experimenting with sound without forcing results provides slowing down, balance and exchange. 

Mazetools Soniface is free worldwide and without advertising. You can support our work, our vision and all Soniface users by purchasing Soniface Pro. In return you will receive in addition:

Information
We do our best to avoid bugs, often enough they drive us crazy. But after the update before the next. So feel free to write us bugs and problems, definitely also if you made a song or video. 

Soniface needs access to the camera for motion tracking, the microphone for audio recording, the local files to save projects and recordings, and the network for Ableton Link.

Much more content, terms of use, credits and FAQ are in the app's guide and can be found in the app's start-up menu.

About Mazetools
Empowering creativity, democratizing musical expression and making it inclusive - how does that work? These are the questions that keep us busy. Soniface is a first step in the process. But we want to go further - with you and the community.

We are Stephan Kloß and Jakob Gruhl, Ectoplastic from Halle/Leipzig, we first met in 1999 as teenagers to make hip hop and electronic music. Since then we are fascinated by music software and sharing our enthusiasm for it with people. 

More than 10 years ago we started the Maze project - a software core of instruments and multimedia interfaces. Since then we have been dedicated to audiovisual connections, sound through movement and spatial audio. Through exchanges, sessions, research and development, and public funding, Maze became Mazetools.

Our roadmap follows the goal of improving workflow, experience, energy consumption, and new features of our previous mapping tools Mutant and Soniface. We are always open to ideas and constructive feedback. In 2024, we have two new releases coming up, Mazetools Botany and Modyssey VR. We have developed these over the last three years. To make it all work, we need your support! 

We wish you a great time with Soniface,
Your Mazetools Team, Stephan & Jakob
