Vocal Harmonizer For IPad

Transform your voice into a choir with up to four voices. Harmony Voice is a pitch shifter and harmonizer with professional features including automatic tuning correction. A real-time visual intonation-display gives you feedback of the tunes you sing. You can sing and Harmony voice will add up to four voices according to the chords you play with the piano keyboard. Instead of playing the chords yourself you can let Harmony Voice play the chords automatically to enrich the sound of your voice in a musically pleasant way. The voice character can be adjusted in a way that you can turn a female voice into a male voice and the other way round. It’s a vocal harmonizer for the iPhone and iPad.

Magic Stave iPhone & iPod Touch App
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Magic Stave iPhone App

Magic Stave listens to you singing or playing an instrument and displays the notes played on a music stave and shows the note position on a piano keyboard or guitar fretboard.

Automatically detects the key signature you’re singing/playing.

Has a built-in tuner so you can see exactly how sharp or flat you are or tune your guitar to.

NOTE The free version does not allow you to use Magic Stave as a composition/ideas notepad. The midi recorder version will let you record detected notes as a MIDI file then export to GarageBand (or other sequencer) to hear it and see the music notation. Seems this company has used the same copy and detail information for both their free and paid version but the features are much different.

A brilliant tool for seasoned music professionals and beginners alike. Ideal for supporting you as you learn to read music or vocalists away from an instrument and want to know whether you’re singing in tune.

Learning to read music and not sure whether the note you’re playing is right? Magic Stave shows you the note you’re actually playing and you can compare that with the sheet music you’re reading to check you’ve hit the right note.

Are you a singer reading music? Magic Stave will display the notes you’re singing so you can ensure you’re hitting the right note! Magic Stave can tell you the key you’re singing in too!

Ever wondered how high or low you can sing? Magic Stave will show you instantly. Works great with all transposing instruments too.

Magic Stave is now a MIDI recording note pad too! Just play/sing your idea while recording and import the midi file into any Sequencer/DAW like Logic or Sibelius.

Magic Stave:
. Midi records detected notes.
. Auto detect key signature.
. Share Midi recordings via iTunes/Wifi/Website/Email
. Note History
. Displays notes on Grand, Treble or Bass Clefs.
. Displays notes in any major or minor keys.
. Displays notes on a piano keyboard.
. Display notes on a guitar fretboard.
. Displays note names and optional octave information,
. Displays the frequencies of detected notes.
. Cent Tuning Meter.
. Transposes detected notes up to 12 semitones up or down
. Will detect notes accurately and fast in the range C2 to C6
. Allows the configuration of the reference A frequency (just in case your piano is not quite in tune!).

Works with iPod Touches if you plug in a microphone too. Note that this app detects monophonic sounds (not chords).

What’s New in Version 1.1.7

. Minor UI enhancements
. Improved stability
. Reduced memory consumption

Magic Stave is available for $2.99

Like Singstar For iPhone

Sing Sports Like Singstar For iPhone

TC-Helicon (makers of fine audio effects and apps) has entered the gaming world with this fun little app called Sing Sports. We believe it’s the closest thing to Singstar for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad at the moment. Ok it’s a bit different but hey!

Out-sing your opponents!

Sing Sports is a party game where you try to out-sing your opponents. You will need to employ improvisation, listening, memory, and most importantly, the ability to carry a tune in order to become the champion.

Sing Sports can be played by 2 to 10 players using “Pass and Play”. Gather your friends and family and have some fun! Kids, adults, teenagers, grandparents — they’ll all love it.


Features

In game announcer
Personal recorded contestant names
2 to 10 players
Pass & Play game play
No headphones or external mic required
Universal App with iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad HD support

The Gameplay

The game starts off with one of your party members being randomly selected as the Sing Master. They’ll have a few seconds to sing anything they want. It could be a challenging tune, a random melody — it all comes down to strategy. Each party member will then take turns trying to re-sing the Sing Master’s tune as closely as possible. They’ll be measured on accuracy of rhythm and pitch, but if the Sing Master botches it, you’ll have to botch in the exact same way to score well. Make sure you start singing right after the countdown! When all challengers have made their attempts, the Sing Master gets a chance to sing it again in order to show off, and to gain valuable bonus points.

Once each player has had an opportunity at being the Sing Master, a new and more difficult stage begins where each player will be given double the singing time. You’ll each accumulate play-money and at the end the champion will be revealed!

Also works on iPad and iPod Touch.

Sing Sports is available for $0.99
