Descrizione

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). The basic version comes with a cello, and other instruments are available to try and purchase. Wherever you are, at any time, pick one of the instruments and play music for real with FingerFiddle.

Eccellente App!

"I also think this app has great potential. I am excited by the physical modeling aspect of the sound and realistic bowing behavior".
Queste sono le parole espresse da Jesse Chappel (Sonosaurus), sviluppatore di ThumbJam e DrumJam sul forum di Audiobus.

Se lo dice un esperto come lui è sicuramente vero! Ed è un grande tributo da parte di uno che fa lo stesso mestiere e, fra l'altro, fra gli strumenti di ThumbJam, ha anche violoncelli e violini, ma sicuramente non all' altezza della bontà sonora e realistica di questa applicazione assolutamente magnifica.

Abbiamo tra le mani un vero strumento con una curva di apprendimento non facile. Ma ne vale assolutamente la pena metterci le mani sopra per imparare a fare qualcosa. La versione free ha il violoncello, ma anche tutti gli altri strumenti da poter provare prima dell'acquisto.
Questo il sorprendente risultato della modellazione fisica in poco più di 20MB!

Oltre che grande programmatore e ricercatore, Matthias è molto gentile e disponibile.
Grazie per questa Perla!

I Hey Matthias, many thanks for the update!
THE BEST APP EVER! ❤️🙏👋
I'm sure many are waiting for MIDI IN
Would be great! 👍

Unbelievably good

The quality of this program is hard to believe.

The sound is as dynamic as the original instrument. The way it reacts to changing the stroke direction is very realistic, there's no way to do this with samples. The specific quality of each of the four string instruments is preserved very well: four players with four iPads (and four amplifiers) could do a very good impersonation of a string quartet.

At the same time the interface is easier to play than the original, and it's very configurable too: the pitch note is correct wherever your fingers land (as if having frets like on a guitar), but you can disable this feature if you want even more realism.

Another very welcome setting changes the pitch of each string. I set the intervals between strings to fourths instead of the original fifths, so that the fingering is closer to that of a guitar or bass.

Something very hard to do on the original: you can play three or four strings at the same time, not just one or two. :-)

As good as this program is, you can only play it via the touchscreen: it has no MIDI input. Driving it from my LinnStrument would be awesome. Matthias, what do you say? :-)
