This is definitely my favourite iPhone musical web app yet. Ocarina turns your iPhone into a wind instrument. Check out the demo video:
I’ve got to say this is the first useful musical instrument iPhone app I’ve played with yet. It’s well thought out and is really enjoyable to play. Here’s how it works:
- 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
Smule, the develops of Ocarina, have this to say:
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.
