The only difference between this and a real bodhran is that instead of changing the pitch by putting your hand in the back of the drum, you twist your left hand fingers round to an area at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. It feels natural when you hold it on your lap. with the screen facing out to your right.
You can start playing your ipadbodhran straight away with just the back of your right hand knuckles and you'll find the samples I made from the beginning of Planxty's Words and Music album particularly good for this. And it's good to practice this first, while you wait for your free beater to arrive in the post. Once you get your tipper (a real one, made of real wood) you can really get going.
There's plenty of single beat samples to choose from and there are even lots of basic rhythms you can use as a metronome to keep you in time.
And you can simultaneously run your music playing apps so playing along with your favourite players is easy. You can also record yourself playing along with other music and I hope in the near future to set up a website where people can upload these for the pleasure of the wider community.
I'm looking forward to seeing the first one in a session. Though I would understand that people might not wish to take it out until I've perfected the noise reduction software (similar to the stuff in those noise reduction headphones you see people wearing on airplanes) that will remove most of the horrible clicking sound of the heavy wooden stick on the fragile screen.
It's just a picture of a full pint on your screen. You prop your iPad up in front of you while you are playing and it times the length of your set. If you just play a couple of single reels it sups maybe a half inch when you finnish. If it's three 5 parters it sups a couple of inches. It never moves, of course, when you are playing (though it is programmed to shout "hup" at random) but it sups an inch every minute of not playing.
Lovely. My iSpoons app is coming along - it's got samples of my fine olivewood mini salad spoons, as well as some 1820s German soup spoons - silver, of course - that I borrowed from "Spoons" McFeckitall for the project. I think you'll love the reverb that I've built in - I've always felt that the biggest problem with spoons in a pub session is the lack of control of the reverb, this will solve that.
How about the 'drunken punter clapping along out of time' app? Get enough of these apps running in privacy of your home and you wouldn't have to bother with the tedious business of making your way down to the session at all.
Does holding the iPad while the iPint app is running for a long enough period of time make you stumble about, talk utter sh*te, play out of time, throw pub furniture at other people, and eventually pass out in either a taxi or on a park bench?
I'm still working on my footstamper. It's costing a fortune in prototypes, but I reckon the diamond screen cover -- slightly more expensive I admit -- will solve the problem of crushed glass contaminating the foot-screen interface.
This is nothing. You should see what else Llig has coming down the pipe. There's going to be a prequel game where you control a little Mario Brothers guy with wellies, a tweed cap and a goat skinning knife.
... of course, you need to buy the special iPhone-enabled wellies, tweed cap, and goat skinning knife, but once you have them, you can do a lot more with them than just control Mario. They'll probably be the default UI metaphors for the next decade!
OK Llig, I downloaded this thing and have been messing around with it. I love the fact that it has a metronome, but I think the realism factor may be a bit too high. It just keeps going faster and faster on every set.
It's totally brilliant. I've only been using it for a few hours, and already I seem to know zero tunes, have lost any sort of social graces and seem willing to shout over anybody. Even if they're talking really softly and slowly.
What they should have said to really drive the sales:
"Sounds just like a real bodhrán, when played through a Marshall stack cranked up to 11, BUT MUCH LOUDER!!!!"
1) I notice that you have controls that say "reel", "jig", "hornpipe" etc., so why is it (whichever button I press) I always get the same rhythm? Will this problem be corrected in the beta release?
2) What is the purpose of the control button that is marked: "clackety-clack"?
I saw a guy at a Lau gig the other day doing air bodhran. But on reflection maybe he was playing the app. Or maybe he just did n't think much of the band.
Back to the idea of the complete iSession suite of apps:
iScream--provides appropriate background noise to simulate playing in your local bar. It generates conversation noise that elevates to unintelligible bellowing as the music gets louder to compensate for said bellowing. Punctuated with ear-splitting laughter, air-hockey racket, random collapse of jenga stacks, and droning sports commentary (may customize to season). Will interrupt flow of tunes occasionally with slurred request for "something by Pete Seeger."
1. Give it a while, when your skill level increases (you can't learn a musical instrument over night you know) you will be able to tell that the rhythms ar actually different. (or so the bloke I sampled them off told me).
2. Sorry, yes. There is, as yet, no purpose for the clackerty clack control button. But as I said in the OP, I'm still working on the noise reduction software that will remove most of the horrible clicking sound of the wooden stick on the screen. This will be a free upgrade and depressing the "clackerty clack" button will disable this piece of software.
As an American, I find yz's humor beneath my dickie as well.
However, as an AP, this new one by Llig is Brilliant. But - I am having trouble adjusting the volume tho - is it supposed to be this loud no matter the setting?
Jusa - yeah, it's pretty neat. It actually detects the volume of the tunes going on around it and automatically sets itself to that level, multipled by a scaling factor. I think the factor is 1.3 by default, but it should be settable.
With and without the 'F' word in its many guises, and a dial to adjust for different accents... Do it from a safe distance. There's an accessory so you can attach it under the table, and a voice throwing option so you can direct it or select random for it to sound like it's coming from a particular are of the session. And, you can adjust the level of cut...
Would you really trust software designed by Llig on your iPad? Who would be laughing as you grew in frustration trying to escape whatever hell it unloaded on your nice new bit of kit?
But be careful about getting two or more of these together in the same room. They start to feed off each other and become something of a perpetual bodhran machine. In fact, there ought to be a warning about this.
Yeah, sorry about the slow air feature. I just imported the list of tune types from O'Neil's without editing first. I didn't think it would be a problem though. I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to try it.
Oh well, at least you know you've only yourself to blame.
And yes, the thing when you get more than one in the same room is truly annoying, But that's Steve Jobs' fault, not mine. I thought it would be easy to write script for the thing to automatically shut down if it detected another one running the same app. But no, there's something Jobs must have put into the machine architecture that overrides it. I suppose it makes sense for all the other apps available. And how was Steve to know that there would ever be a situation where more is less?
Is there a possibility this app could be adapted to act as a 'noise canceller' when Djembe or Cajun boom box are detected? I'm wondering does it have a variable speed feature to match up with faster and slower beating?
Sorry John, it only has the speeding up feature. I was trying to make it merely practical in the real world.
And come on now don't get too attached to your technology. The best noise canceller is merely the application of your own vocal chords in the manner of: "WILL YOU SHUT THE FECK UP, YOU FECKERS".
I was born with an Ipad device.
It's called an Ifart.
I started playing it the first day I was born.
I'm getting really good at it now that I've been playing it for almost 50 years.
I can't loosen those little screws, I don't know why. It can't have been the microwave: I only put it in for a minute to dry the Guinness. Anybody here with a screw loose who could give me some advice?
Ha, yeah. Try it with a skin diameter of <4 inches, and a rim depth of <18 inches and a bpm of 2,600. Enable the "snare" and viola, Scottish drumming. It's so versatile.
Viola is simply toggled by use of the 'Deactivate' button, which on mine is the third up and second in from the bottom left. But if yours is the older model, I think you have to use the path Edit>Settings>Preferences>Options>Hardware>Tonality>Colours>Organic>Nonferrous>Wood>Realwood>Maple, then doubleclick on 'Cello', and, from the submenu, select 'Smaller'.
I haven't found a way to emulate the effect of sticking your hand in the back of the drum for that wonderful "wibble-wibble-wobble-wobble" sound. Tricky, I suppose, as the back of the iPad isn't touch-sensitive. But maybe with two of them strapped together ... ?
you get the wibble-wibble-wobble-wobble not by putting your hand in the back of the drum, but by twisting your left hand fingers round to an area at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. It feels natural when you hold it on your lap.
