"Irish Flute" app for the iPad

YouTube via tradlessons | October 02, 2010

"Irish Flute is the only truly authentic sounding wooden Irish flute available for the iPad.

The fingerings are based on those used for the real instrument and will also be immediately familiar to Irish pennywhistle and flute players.

Sound is based on high quality per-note recordings from my wooden 1857 Metzler flute, the same flute used for the images in the app.

To play, place your fingers over the holes on the two halves of the flute. The holes light up when covered

Finger vibrato may be done with the middle finger of the right hand on most notes. The amount of vibrato is adjustable.

Touch the 'i' icon at the upper left corner of the main screen to show/hide the volume and vibrato controls. All settings are saved and restored the next time the app is run.

Touch the '?' icon at the upper right corner of the main screen to show/hide the fingering chart. The app provides two octaves of the D scale, plus C and F natural.

Touch the green bar on the left side with your left little finger to play the notes one octave higher.

Touch the bar at the bottom center with your left thumb to stop the sound.

Rotate the iPad to Portrait orientation to see the instruction page. Rotate back to Landscape orientation to play.

Play along with tunes in your iPad's music library by starting a track using the iPad iPod app, then launching Irish Flute. Adjust the volume using the real-time performance controls."

S4K Roland Sh201 Collection - Leads and Vintage sounds by S4K ( Space4keys )

YouTube via Space4Keys | October 02, 2010

"This collection was born to offer to the users of Sh-201 some famous and great sounds, not included in the presets. Here you can find some good tips that will help you to play our patches in the best way! ;)

On The Run:
This Patch is programmed to have the Upper part with the filter cutoff originaly starting to 0, so, all you have to do is... open it slowly! And play with some resonance, keyfollow and LFO! :)

Snarling pig:
I suggest you to play this patch activating only one time the octave button to traspose the keyboard down. The Snarling Pig it's a bass sound so you can have a good range of notes if you do that.

D/C Feedback Bass:
In this patch you had the first two octaves that play the bass sound, and all the upper keys that plays feedback. Feedback starts slowly in the upper keys and starts faster on the lower key sections. Use the octave Transpose to up for great Larsen/Feedback effect. Basicly the sounds starts distorted, for a clean sound, just deactivate the Overdrive button.

Screaming Saw:
This patch is very simple to play: for activate the scratching on the sound you only have to use the Modulation Joystick. For a good Scratching i suggest you to just touching a little bit the Mod. Joystick for a realistic effect.

Hope you will enjoy this collection, and stay tuned for updates and probably... New sound patches!
