Jammit Music Lessons On iPad

Jammit is a really cool app for learning instrument parts from your favorite songs. You can choose from Standard and Tab notation. They’ve licensed 300 songs so far from actual record labels. They also got the real multitrack sessions so what you’re learning from and listening to are the real deal. It’s not out yet but stick around to find out more.

Jam with your favorite bands…with Jammit! Isolate or remove an instrument from the mix & jam with the original multi-tracks!

And now: Line 6 and Jammit have partnered to create the ultimate guitar jam-along experience for iPhone® and iPad®. With the Line 6 Mobile In interface and Jammit app, you can immerse yourself in your favorite artists’ original recordings—and play along with incredibly authentic guitar tones.

What is Jammit?
The audio for the individual instruments and voices heard on your favorite songs was recorded separately before being blended into the final mix. These original multi-track recordings are the building blocks for every popular song released over the past 50 years and the same authentic tracks that we use in Jammit.
Yes, Jammit actually allows you to isolate or remove an instrument from the mix, so you can jam with a band’s original master tracks! In addition to instrument isolation, Jammit’s scrolling scores, section looping, variable slow mode and onboard recorder let you experience music like never before. Whether you’d like to emulate every nuance of an incredible player or just take in the musical genius of a great performance, Jammit software allows you to find out what your favorite music is really made of.

Basic Jammit Features:

-True Instrument Isolation: Jammit uses the original multi-track master recordings allowing you to rebalance the mix so you can hear every detail of the original performance.

-Notation and Tablature: The elite team of Jammit transcribers use the original isolated multi-track recordings to give you transcriptions with a degree of accuracy found nowhere else but Jammit.

-Advanced Tools: Use the variable slow down mode and section looping to focus on difficult musical passages.

-Recording: Whether you’re emulating the original part or coming up with your own, you can capture your performance using Jammit’s record feature.
-Line 6 Amp Modeling:

When a Line 6 Mobile In is plugged into your iPad or iPhone, it unlocks the Line 6 amp modeling engine that is built in to the latest version of Jammit. Simply plug your guitar into the Mobile In, launch Jammit and load one of the songs in your library. There are two ways to use the amp modeling in Jammit : Auto or Manual mode.

Auto mode: On select songs (see the complete list of eligible songs below), patches have been created to automatically make your guitar sound like the guitar on the original recording. If the tone changes in the song, so does your guitar, so you can concentrate on playing your guitar, not your pedal board!

Manual mode: Press “manual” on the Line 6 user interface (selecting the Line 6 icon under the USER channel title), and scroll through the available preset patches. In manual mode, the sound patch that you select will remain throughout the song.

How to Get Started on Jammit:

1) Download the free app to your iOS 5 iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.
2) Select the “Try It Out” button to download the 30 second demo songs or…
3) Sign up for your FREE Jammit account. Doing this will allow you to download any purchases that you make onto a maximum of three Jammit compatible devices.
4) Browse the In App Jammit Store or the store at Jammit.com for songs you’d like to purchase.
5) Purchases made through In App Purchase or at Jammit.com can be downloaded instantly to your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch when you sign into your Jammit account on your device.
6) Load the song from the library page in the Jammit app and enjoy!

Granular Synthesis For iPad
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , ,

Curtis iPad Synth

Curtis for the iPad – The first granular synthesizer for the iPhone comes to the iPad. Turns any recording into a totally unique synthesizer!

Curtis uses an unusual hybrid of wavetable and granular synthesis to create tones and timbres quite apart from the standard FM or subtractive synthesis fare. Add this app to your arsenal to create sounds you simply cannot squeeze out of any other synth, no matter how much you’ve twiddled its knobs.

Granular synthesis works by combining many tiny grains of sound from an existing recording, creating new sounds with the texture of the original, now with endless temporal possibilities. Play the sound forward, backward, or even at a single point!

Unlike scratching a record, pitch doesn’t depend on how quickly you move through the recording. Try with spoken word, singing, synths. Mangle your recordings or create soft, gentle textures! If scratching is your thing, Curtis now also includes a scratch mode, letting you shred your recordings turntablist style.

✇ Curtis now comes preloaded with an exclusive sound set created by sound design pioneer Richard Devine!

✇ This release allows you to record audio directly with your iPad or add your own WAV or MP3 files via iTunes. No more in-app server setup; just drag-and-drop!

✇ New in version 2.0, a chromatic quantize mode, which rounds grain sizes to match the frequencies of standard equal-tempered tuning. In this mode, Curtis will sound in tune with your other MIDI instruments or soft-synths. Of course, the old geometric mode is still available for your dissonant pleasure.

✇ Version 2.1 brings a traditional keyboard along with new XY pads for pitch and position LFO control. Still, this is no ordinary synthesizer, and the keyboard will not always work as you might expect. The keyboard note pressed determines the size of the grains used, so the sound will indeed have the cycle length of the given note, however depending on the pitch and the content of the source recording at the current point, the resulting tonality may vary greatly.

What’s New in Version 2.1
– keyboard control for chromatic mode
– pitch and position LFO modulation
