Guitarism iPad Acoustic Guitar

Guitarism is by far one of my favorite acoustic guitar apps. It has a great interface and sound AND it’s also a midi controller. It is an acoustic guitar app for those who love the physical, visceral experience of playing guitar, with an online community for limitless inspiration and feedback! guitarism offers a highly tuned strumming interface integrated with spectacular guitar samples. The result of years of iteration, improvement and polish, you won’t find a better-sounding or more playable acoustic guitar app on the App Store.

New features in the latest version are:

In-App Purchase: guitarism “Triple Play”
Simultaneously play 3 additional instrument apps
Complementary roles: guitar, bass and chords
Configure channel, octave and velocity per role
Demo video and detailed help to get you going
Use with GarageBand or any MIDI-compatible app!
Master volume control for playing with other apps!
“Open In…” option to export recordings to DropBox, AudioShare and more

E.g. use Audiobus to connect guitarism to AmpKit and get live guitar effects in guitarism! See http://audiob.us for more information. Note: iPhone 4S+ / iPad 2+ required for Audiobus
– NEW In-App Purchase: Triple Play! Use guitarism to simultaneously control up to 3 additional MIDI-compatible apps (e.g. GarageBand) in complementary roles: guitar, bass and chords. Purchase Triple Play to turn guitarism into an advanced multi-channel MIDI controller
