Well, we posted about an new app we were developing and as it is coming to the end of development I’ve decided to share a few more details. As I said previously it is a music app. Obviously there are many apps in the store that allow you to play an instrument or make a song, but our is different as it is designed with non-musicians in mind. The main screen shows a bass guitar and electric guitar. Pressing down on a fret play a riff (part of a song) that lasts a few seconds. Each fret plays a different riff. Because both instruments are at opposite sides of the screen you can play bass and guitar and the same time, mixing together different parts to form your song. What about drums though? Well, to start the drum beat just shake your device. This will start the beat and you can start playing along with it.
As everyone doesn’t like the same style of music there is a choice of four genres available. These are:
- Funk
- Acoustic
- Rock
- Dance
In the settings you can also control the volumes of the individual instruments allowing for more versatility when playing. The app will sell for $1.99/£1.19 and we should be submitting it to Apple this week. If all goes well we hope to have it on sale by the end of this month.
Some of the graphics still aren’t finalized but as soon as they are I will post a few screenshots and a video.
