Sunday Synth Jam: Playing with Mugician for iPad (with pressure sense).
via mvpadrini:
Playing with the amazing app Mugician for iPad. Please notice that the App Store build of Mugician has pressure sense disabled. I will make new videos when my technique is better 🙂

Tocando com o ótimo app Mugician para iPad. Importante dizer que a versão do Mugician que está na App Store não tem sensibilidade à pressão. Farei novos vídeos assim que minha técnica estiver melhor 🙂

Love the tune. Guitar tone and playing is very nice. Excellent sound from the app, also. Good work.
Geez that looks horrible. Why do these app makers feel the need to reinvent how we interact with the instrument? I mean, what kind of scale is that? Where is middle C etc? … many hours/days later….okay got that sorted now i can play chopsticks on this app,….hang on whats that, a another new 'synth' on the iPad with a ridiculous interface….ok where is middle C? 😉
You'd have to be a mug to buy Mugician!

Hello Andy! It's me playing on this video. I think you will have to ask Roger Linn about that too. His LinnStrument project uses almost the same interface. 🙂 http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/products/linnstrum… In fact all the keys show the name of the notes and to find those notes and play scales is not hard. Find the middle C is very, very easy… 😉 Btw Mugician is free.

Hi Marcus
I guess I need to have a shot to see myself. Maybe i am too linear in my approach to an interface. The keyboard has always made sense to my brain. Go left for lower, right for higher! 🙂 I was not in the best of moods when I wrote that response! My apologies if it sounded rude.
No problem at all! 🙂 I do respect your point of view and I have to admit that Mugician probably will be easier for guitar or bass players. I'm a keyboard and flute player and that's why I wrote I don't have a good technique up to now.
For keyboard players the great news are the Core MIDI apps. With it you can control the iPad with a MIDI Keyboard. The Korg iMS-20 is a nice one 🙂

Reinvent? What do you mean? It's laid out exactly like a eleven string bass, which as a bass player, is really great. I'm glad that people are exploring interfaces other than the standard piano keyboard.
Also, this app is free.

You could give users a choice of what type of playing surface they want, after all it's a touch screen and it can take any form it wants. Some examples are traditional piano or something different like fret board, harp, isometric, steel drum, and mpc pads.

Hello,
Almost every iPad app implements a piano keyboard interface, and there is almost no virtuosity being displayed on any of of these iPad instruments by anybody. (I don't think that this is a point of opinion, as it is clearly proven in video after video – look at some of the best synth players in the world playing pianos on iPads and their chops pale by comparison to what they should be. Keys too small to rest all fingers on adjacent notes or not enough octave range. The iPad is not 2 feet long, and developers need to learn this, yesterday.).
This layout, which Linnstrument shares, is "isomorphic" not only chromatically, but microtonally, and with note width as well. The fingering is identical when you transpose to any scale. The frets don't get wider as you move up and down the fretboard. If you have the frets turned off, you can simply play a quartertone lower rather than detuning the instrument a quartertone.
And the most important point of all which is crazy when you think about it: almost every musician in the world is a guitar player, yet almost all electronic insruments are based on piano. That's marketing stupidity from hell if you ask me. In fairness, this sort of layout almost needed a multi-touchscreen to ever become viable, which is why multiple people came up with this layout right around the time the iPad came out.
