Description

Turn your iPad into an instrument of the violin family and play just like on a real instrument !

FingerFiddle introduces a new and highly sensitive musical experience with your IOS device. Your actions on the screen are turned naturally into an exceptionally realistic and responsive sound, whatever you do. Place your fingers on the fingerboard to change notes. Move your other hand on the screen to rub the strings with the bow and shape the sound continuously in real-time. Pluck the screen to play pizzicato. FingerFiddle responds accurately to your movements and lets you play with the full palette of violin expression, just like with a real instrument.

FingerFiddle is a musical instrument that you can bring with you everywhere to play, practice, have fun and perform with others. It includes a full collection of fine-tuned instruments from the violin family (violin, viola, cello and double bass).

A must for every composer.

Every composer should have this in their arsenal. I keep going back to this app again and again. It is so expressive and is a great example of how great the iPad interface can be as super tactile hands on performance tool. This makes me think about music differently and thus lets me create something unique. The way you play it forces you out of your usual musical tropes and that can be a real asset when you’ve been staring a computer screen for hours waiting for inspiration but nothing is coming out

Unique!

This app enables some unique artuculations that would be impossible to achieve by other means. A couple of suggestions - I find it difficult to add vibrato so an auto-vibrato mode would be useful (with delay), and some string ensemble sounds would also be awesome. But a great app as is and worth getting if you want realistic and original string sounds, will reward practice!

Worth taking the time

Very nice sound and the playing interface is very good. You can plug or bow as much as you want and the more area you apply in finger pressure affects the tonal character (dynamics).

I'm going to make use of this in my music.
