Yumi, the violin simulator

via hemicube on the Jasuto forum

"Meet Yumi, the violin simulator!

It's a silly name (I like those obviously) meaning 'bow' in Japanese...

So this is sorta the first thing that's been built with the new Jasuto Studio framework, the sound quality is amazing and absolutely no samples are used. It's using a fairly novel approach to achieve synthesis in realtime without aliasing or any sort of digital stepping, and yes it sounds like a true violin or even a cello.

I'm going to make a Youtube video demonstrating the sound quality next...

Also I'm not sure if that's the final UI or not, this app is more about functionality and sound quality. So yeah, I don't wanna give too many details but hopefully in a week or so it'll be out (iPad initially)!

BlowPipes - Scottish Highland Bagpipes for the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad

YouTube via tradlessons | February 11, 2011 |

"BlowPipes is the best-sounding and easiest-to-play set of mouth-blown Scottish Highland Bagpipes available for the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad.

The drone and chanter sounds are provided by ePipes in Glasgow, Scotland, and are high quality per-note studio recordings of a world-class set of Great Highland Bagpipes.

Play a melody on the chanter by touching the holes while blowing into the microphone on your device or wired headset.

Touch the drone puck image to switch the drones on and off.

Touch the 'i' icon at the bottom center to bring up the settings page. Here you can adjust the blowing sensitivity as well as the balance between the drones and chanter.

You may also select between Top (iPod Touch 4G, iPad) or Bottom (iPhone) microphone location for your device.

No microphone? No problem! You can also play the chanter without blowing, just set the microphone location selector on the settings page to Off. Play the notes by just touching the chanter holes. In this mode, once you touch a hole, the chanter plays continuously just like a real Scottish Highland chanter. To stop the chanter playing, start and stop the drones.

The Flip switch on the settings page toggles between high/low and low/high note order on the chanter.

On the settings page, touch the ePipes logo to visit their website, or touch the TradLessons logo to learn more about my other music apps."
