Ocarina - The First iPhone Musical Instrument

[Chefanim]

From the Developers Site:

Ocarina is the first true musical instrument created for the iPhone. Ocarina is sensitive to your breath, touch and movements, making it even more versatile than the original. Unlike other musical applications, there are no pre-compiled riffs so musicians will find unlimited opportunities for self-expression. But you don’t have to be formally trained to appreciate this enchanting instrument. For beginners, Smule provides an interactive tutorial on its website. It is so easy, anyone can play, even if you don’t read sheet music.

- Blow into your microphone to generate music
- Hold down combinations of the holes to change your pitch
- Tilt your phone from front to back to change the vibrato depth
- Tilt your phone from side to side to change the vibrato rate

And like most Smule products, Ocarina is a social application. Tap on the globe icon and you will see and hear other Ocarina players throughout the world. The globe view will highlight the source of the music. Rate your favorite performances so that others may benefit from your judgment. Name your Ocarina if you want others to know the identity of your performances around the world.

My Personal Opinion: Its pretty friggin sweet, Its nice being able to listen to other people play in real time. Only problem with it, is as the developer says, its uses about 98% CPU to do all that it does..... so say Bye Bye to your battery.
