Has anyone heard this yet? What do you think? Are all realtime flute and whistle players doomed ?
Best,

- Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

My eyes can't have recovered from their man-with-common-cold-dosed-up-to-the-aforesaid state yet. I misread that title as "Antique Irish flute player on speed"

It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

I think Michael is aware that his i-apps are "For entertainment purposes only." Side-effects including but not limited to brain shrinkage, drooling, bar fights, and audience riots are strictly at the user's own risk.
Don't know about speed. But there may be a pint of Hefeweizen involved. Makes the poor fellow completely goofy.benhall.1 wrote:I misread that title as "Antique Irish flute player on speed"

You need an extra LH finger to get the second octave? Doesn't the iPad overblow?keithsandra wrote:What do you think?

Re: Antique Irish flute played on Ipad
OK, it took me awhile to figure out how the C# was configured and it makes sense. What I didn't see was how to get from one octave to the next.
Well done. What a beach of a time to be poor.

Re: Antique Irish flute played on Ipad
I learned this week that Michael wrote his first commercial computer app way back in the 80's. It was a graphic stylus for the Commodore 64. Since then, his creative imagination has been working at a record pace creating new musical apps for apple products. I'm not suppose to let this out of the bag just yet, but since we are all friends here, I've heard that Michael is soon to release a new app for timpani and tuba, called Tx2, all on the same ipad screen. That should be wonderful.

(Not meaning to start a religious controversary, I'd gladly accept other occasions when being poor might come in handy. I could use the good news.)

Of course they are - haven't you noticed that since the FIFA computer game series was released to the market nobody plays real soccer anymore?keithsandra wrote: Are all realtime flute and whistle players doomed ?

Re: Antique Irish flute played on Ipad
Q. Do you know why so many kids play soccer?
A. So they don't have to watch the game.

Re: Antique Irish flute played on Ipad
If you already have an iPad, it's the best flute you can get for a buck. (or maybe not, if there's a better one, get it instead...)
Yes, there is an octave switch, activated with the left little finger. Pretty easy to get used to. Other than that, the fingerings are pretty much like the real instrument, every possible combination of fingers down does what one might expect.
Does it have dynamics? No.
Does it have finger vibrato. Yeah, sort of.
Does it have any sort of tonal variation at all. No, not really.
Does it beat not playing while on the bus, train, or in your office. Yes.
Does it replace a real instrument. No, not even close.
Whether it's worth your dollar or not, that's between you and your deity.
