samplerSequencer for iPhone

"'SamplerSequencer' turns your device into a sampler sequencer for professional musicians and composers. Just record a single sound / voice / special effect "LA notes," using the samplerSequencer audio recording feature (using the internal microphone of the device) or import the sound into the device through synchronization (using the iTunes software for Mac or PC) or using copy / paste using the technology "iTunes File Sharing" and samplerSequencer will create for you the whole scale of sounds and assign them to the virtual keyboard (n octaves) of samplerSequencer, at which point you can record an audio track using the sequencer recording feature of samplerSequencer (the sequencer record for you every note played by you). SamplerSequencer operates with seven independent sound tracks, each with its own sampled sound (assignable to a track). You can then record a track at a time (using the virtual keyboard or by writing different notes by hand) and then listen all the tracks together using the sequencer play feature.

The sampleSequencer "all tracks view" and "selected track view", the ability to manually enter a note or put it through the virtual keyboard, the ability to delete unwanted notes through the hash function, to touch a note and change its position, length and the type of the note (note shift), the possibility of including sequencer events such as pitch bending and many other features make samplerSequencer a professional sequencer like the most popular sequencers for Mac or PC.

The software is able to read the common audio files (WAV, MP3, CAF, etc. ...) so you can create your own sound (you only need one audio file) using standard wave editor for Mac or PC and samplerSequencer will create automatically for you the musical instrument.

You can also import a song from the iTunes library on the device and by controlling "SAMPLE START POSITION" you can select a sound by extracting it from the same song: samplerSequencer will automatically create the complete musical instrument for you.

You can import a song from iTunes and assign it to a track, and using the other tracks you can play your track over the imported song… the sequencer will play the song combined with your sound tracks.

With samplerSequencer you will have in your pocket the smallest sampler and sequencer that exists!

Features:
- Import any sound and samplerSequencer generates for you the entire scale of sounds (n octaves)
- Storing infinite sound samples using the archive of sound ("Samples Archive") of samplerSequencer
- Virtual Keyboard
- Control for increase / decrease the keyboard octave (usable in real time)
- "Bending control" to change the sound in real time
- "Sample Start Position" control:
you can remove the initial part of a sample (ex. silence) by specifying the start time instant of the sample (CUT FEATURE)
- "Sustain Pedal" control
- Multi keyboard voices (64 entries)
- Default "GRAND PIANO"sample
- Possibility of "registration" of musical patterns during live performances:
enabling the recording, samplerSequencer record to an audio file the music played with the keyboard by the user (pressing a key on the keyboard to play, after registration, your live performance)
- sequencer with 7 independent tracks (you can assign to each track a different sampled sound)
- MUTE function to turn off unwanted tracks (PLAY MUTE feature)
- Independent VOLUME for each track (SEQUENCER MIXER)
- Function touches a note and change its parameters of position, duration, and type of the note
- Function touch / drag to remove one or more notes
- Function touch / drag to remove unwanted events (pitch bending etc...)
- Metronome"

Säckpipa - Swedish Bagpipes in E/A for the iPad

YouTube Uploaded by tradlessons on Apr 4, 2011

"Sackpipa is a cool sounding set of Swedish Bagpipes in E/A for the iPad.

The chanter fingerings are based on those used for the real instrument.

You may choose between major and minor scales.

The left half of the chanter image is for the "top" hand, the right half is the "bottom" hand.

The bar at the bottom center is the left thumb hole that is on the back of a real chanter.

You may perform finger vibrato for expression on most notes with the middle finger of the right hand. Vibrato depth is adjustable with the on-screen control.

Touch the drones in the background painting to start/stop the drones.

Touch the Stop sign at the lower right corner of the screen to stop all sounds.

Touch the 'i' icon at the upper right corner of the screen to show/hide the on-screen volume and drone startup pitch ramp controls. All settings are saved and restored the next time the app is run.

Touch the '?' icon at the lower left corner of the screen to show/hide the on-screen help and fingering chart.

On the real Sackpipa, you have to keep your left thumb covering the back chanter hole for all notes except the highest one. On the app, the back chanter hole is provided by the gray bar (lights up green) at the bottom of the screen under your left thumb. If you aren't hearing any different notes, make sure your left thumb is on the bar.

Next, touch the bar at the bottom with your left thumb, and touch the left half of the chanter starting with the tips of your left index, middle, and ring fingers. Next touch the right half of the chanter with the tips of your right index, middle, ring, and little fingers. The tips of the fingers must be used, not the flats.

This initial version has sounds with a full sounding chorus effect.

Future updates will include dry sound sets and additional tunings."

Please pass it on everyone, where you think it might be of help! - Small
NOTE: The Microwave XTK has slightly different menus, because there
occasionally are keyboard settings.
I hope someone can find a use for it!
