Great Sounding App ! , 5 Star App Developer ! – Autoharp Review
I purchase musical instrument apps to add unique sound
Colors to my recordings. But to blend convincingly with
Real Instruments, they must sound good,and have a well
Designed playing interface.When you sweep your hand
Across the virtual strings Of this App,you hear the Sweet Singing Sustain of A Real Autoharp ! The Playing surface looks like an Autoharp, With easy to finger chord bar buttons. The developer has also Added a feature that highlights all the active strings in a Played chord,which makes it easy for a Non-Autoharp player To combine finger picking and chord strumming techniques, Just like modern autoharp players do. In my search for useful Instrument apps, I find that they basically fall into one of 3 Categories ,1. the app was a waste of money,a novelty to Try once, then forget about ! 2. the app delivers in a number of ways. Price is good,Sound quality is good ,playability is there...BUT.. it stops Just short of being a useableTool for Serious learning, or musical production. 3.the app delivers in spades...Sound, Cost, Real Usefulness,and in rare cases, An app developer who's not just out to make a quick .99 cents, but one who responds quickly to fix any bugs that end users experience. When I first downloaded this app, I also experienced the same latency issue described by that (ANGRY!) elementary school music teacher in a previous review.
But, I Really! wanted an Autoharp Sound to use in my music
Project .So I took a chance, and sent the app developer an
Email. I received a quick response, And with a flip of a toggle
Option Switch in the app, the latency problem was Solved.In
The short time I've had this app on my iPad ,the developer
Has updated the app by fine tuning the playing surface, and Provided new features that I can use in my Recording projects.I give the developer Arlo Leach : 5 STARS because He's quick to respond to users questions, And he keeps making an already GOOD app even BETTER ! : I give the
App : 5 STARS not only because it meets my high
End needs (for .99 cents ! ), but because my 2 year old granddaughter Loves to strum the strings, while her Papa
works the chord bars. ( For that Joy, PRICELESS ! ).
