SMule: Ocarina for iPhone [Zeldarian]
"Ocarina, for iPhone, by SMule. http://www.smule.com/"
"The Ocarina synthesizes sound in real-time, just like a regular instrument, based on actual gestures including wind input, tilt, and finger placement over the four holes overlaid on the multi-touch pad. Unlike other iPhone audio apps, the sound is not pre-compiled but is generated by the notes, gestures and nuance of the individual performer. As a result, it allows an iPhone user to explore and master the musical sounds of an entirely iPhone-native version of an ancient flute-like instrument.
Smule's audio engine (CHiP) and the Smule Sonic Network make it possible to hear live performances around the world. With the globe view, you can hear performances, and see the origin of that performance.
This is the fourth in a series of innovative applications from Smule (www.smule.com), based on the developer's innovative mobile audio platform."
It’s available now on Apple’s AppStore™ for $0.99 here:
I really wasn't expecting this to work but it does, surprisingly well. I've used things that are designed to be musical instruments that are less expressive and intuitive.
