About this app

Play the warm voice of an alto saxophone on a full 88-key piano keyboard. Every key has its own note, so you can find a melody in seconds and play it with one finger. Beginner, child, music student, teacher or experienced player, this one is built for daily playing and practice.

ONE KEY, ONE NOTE

The warm voice of a saxophone meets the easy-to-learn layout of a piano keyboard: start playing straight away, without working through fingering combinations. On a real saxophone every note is a different combination of tone holes pressed at once. Here it is one key, one note. Find a melody in seconds, and if you already read music, simply sit down and play.

THE INSTRUMENT

• 88 keys, A0 to C8, the full range of an acoustic piano
• A separate note for every key, each one modeled on the acoustics of a real alto saxophone, with no pitch-shifting
• Scroll the keyboard, or use the position strip to move across the range
• Note names can be shown while you learn and hidden afterwards
• Note names in solfège (do, re, mi) or scientific pitch (C4, D4)

REAL SOUND, REAL RESPONSE

• Multi-touch with up to 12 notes at once, so chords and harmony lines work
• Adjustable sustain: how long a note keeps ringing after you lift your finger
• Adjustable velocity: how loudly the notes speak
• Low-latency audio engine, so the sound stays under your finger

BUILT-IN MUSIC STUDIO

• Metronome at the tempo you set, for steady timing
• 5-band equalizer from 60 Hz to 14 kHz with Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical and Flat presets
• Two real-time visualizers that move with your playing

RECORD, KEEP, SHARE

• Record your playing through your device microphone
• Name recordings, mark favorites, listen back and delete what you do not need
• Share a recording with friends, family or your teacher
• Six saxophone tracks are included to play along with
• Add audio files from your device, with search, favorites, repeat and shuffle

LEARN MUSIC FASTER

• Find out where the notes live before buying a real saxophone
