Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , , ,

Aircussion

Unlike other drumming apps that require you to play the drums with your fingers on the screen, Aircussion uses your smartphone AS the drumstick or percussion instrument.

By holding your phone in one hand and your thumb down on any of the instrument tiles, start air drumming with your device and the sound will be produced! This results in a much more natural and virtual drumming experience for amateurs and professionals alike.

Aircussion also has a built-in 8-track sequencer, so that you can build up your favourite drum beats in the exact same manner. But don’t worry – if you’ve never made or played a drum beat before, we’ll walk you through a super easy tutorial and have you building beats like a pro in no time.

Features include:

– 90+ sounds to choose from including: drums, cymbals, shakers, tambourines, world instruments, animals & more
– 8-track sequencer to record your own drum beats
– Factory instrument layouts & drum beats for you to play around with
– Saving & loading of your own customized layouts & drum beats
– Volume controls for every track
– Undo & Redo functionality during recording
– Sharing of your beats with your friends and the world!

Tips for enhancing your Aircussion experience:

– Use headphones for the highest quality sound
– Great to play in groups
– Two-handed playing with multiple devices
– Jam with your acoustic guitar playing friends
– Play along with your music library
– Listen to saved beats through your stereo system
– Use created beats as backing tracks for other instruments

Aircussion is NO LONGER AVAILABLE 🙁

Harpsichord For iPad and iPhone
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

Ruckers-1628-Harpsichord

Historic Harpsichords – Ruckers 1628 is a superbly-sampled recreation of one of the greatest and most valuable harpsichords of all time!

Universal app for iOS supporting iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPhone 6plus or later.

Flemish instrument-building family Ruckers need little in the way of introduction to those in the know; suffice to say, their highly-valued (and valuable) historic harpsichords are akin to Stradivarius violins built by the Stradivari family.
You could even say that the harpsichord was the ‘synthesizer’ of its time, without which influential early musical stylings such as baroque and renaissance would never have emerged.

Needless to say, 1628 must have been an especially excellent year for the Ruckers family, for the Ruckers 1628 is now one of the greatest and most valuable harpsichords of all time. Those thinking that they will never get to experience the sheer musical joy of playing this two-manual harpsichord built by master craftsman Andreas Ruckers (The Elder) in Antwerp way back in 1628 should surely think again.

Thanks to the definitive development work of TempoRubato in collaboration with sample content provider par excellence realsamples, now you can conveniently enjoy playing an authentic recreation of the Ruckers 1628 from the comfort of their favourite iOS device whenever and wherever you like!

Historic Harpsichords – Ruckers 1628 has been tested and tuned with hardened harpsichord instrumentalists and features full recreation of all stops and combinations. Creative users can play both manuals individually using separate MIDI channels with faithful recreation of manual coupling using key velocity for controlling onset delays.

It includes historic tuning systems such as Werckmeister, Vallotti, Krinberger, Meantone, and more. Main a4 pitch is tuneable by +/- one semitone specifically for historically-correct performances. That said, performances need not necessarily be restricted to faithful recreations of those notable early musical stylings, but are applicable to current genres, too.

Technologically speaking, Historic Harpsichords – Ruckers 1628 is truly a state-of-the-art app, supporting all iOS standards such as AudioBus, Core MIDI, Virtual MIDI, and InterApp-Audio. Indeed, it can be played using Apple’s InterApp-Audio or from other iOS apps via virtual Core MIDI. When using it as a sound module for MIDI controller keyboards it is fully playable using Core MIDI-compliant interfaces or Apple’s Camera Connection Kit and class-compliant USB MIDI devices.

Of course, superb sample content is also a given with Historic Harpsichords – Ruckers 1628 making mind-blowing use of 800MB of sampled data, including key release sounds, while high-quality floating point audio processing is used throughout. Today any appropriate iOS device owner can dive right in to the rich sampled sound of the original Ruckers 1628 harpsichord and start exploring the app’s capabilities using the onscreen keyboards.

Ruckers 1628 Harpsichord is available for $9.99
