Hexpress musical instrument

Hexpress is a set of musical devices on your cellphone. You can use it for learning, playing and composing music each time you may have the time - on prepare, while waiting in line and during boring meetings. Using headphones (non-bluetooth) is strongly beneficial for louder and better sound high quality, and to not disturb others round you. The software has simple, colourful and clear interface designed to be accessible to younger youngsters.

While every instrument behaves differently ultimately, generally notes are played by touching shapes on the display, and sound is shaped by tilting the telephone left-right and up-down. Different instruments have totally different effect controls - fade in, reverb, tremolo...

Most of Hexpress instruments have unusual honeycomb note association that's sometimes called harmonic desk observe layout. It is similar Tonnetz layout, only rotated. It has many fascinating properties compared to commonplace piano structure:

• efficient utilization of system screen (3 octaves range)

• notice relations (intervals) are uniform across entire vary; to transpose track to totally different key simply play same patterns on different a half of instrument

• most chord shapes are grouped tightly and they are often executed with single finger swipe

• in typical scale and melody runs, notes are alternated between fingers of two arms, so they can be played with pace and precision

• large intervals are as accessible as smaller intervals

Besides honeycomb format there are additionally devices with standard fretboard, and a drum set for finger-drumming.

The app contains a looper used to record repeating section. The looper is enabled from major display screen and can be utilized in almost all instruments. Saving or exporting loops just isn't supported in app.

Instruments aren't meant to be reconfigured within the app. One purpose for that is that it provides you an opportunity to really be taught the instrument (you could not study a guitar if the tuning was completely different every time). The other cause is that constraints and limitations actually encourage creativity and make it more accessible to youthful customers. I'd like to improve current devices' sounds and visuals based in your suggestions, however there'll most likely by no means be any settings/options to fiddle with.

The app is figure in progress - interface, sounds and options are all topic to alter. The app does not collect ANY details about person and cannot access web. Microphone permission is optionally available and is utilized in single instrument for recording it's samples.

Hexpress is with out ads, free and open-source. Your suggestions is much appreciated.
