Futulele is simply the best-sounding Uke synthesizer in the world. The CrystalClear 4.0 sound engine works with 72 highest-quality Ukulele string samples, combining and tweaking them on the fly to deliver fantastic Ukulele experience. Futulele detects your strumming speed and alters the sound accordignly. The engine is also capable of detecting the current output mode (speaker/headphones) and making the instument sound perfect under every occassion. If that was not enough, there are 4 customizable FX: Grand Stereo Reverb, 3-Band EQ, Lush Chorus, Tape Delay.

Fully automatic playing is possible, just hold the Automatic button and enjoy the results! There are 15 strumming patterns available, which can be changed in the Options menu. Recording is a blast and takes only one tap. Futulele records to .WAV which can later be converted to .M4A via the built-in File Manager and found in the iTunes File Sharing.

Futulele comes with 10 pre-defined chord sets, and you can easily create an infinite number of your own. Up to 12 chords can be used per chord set. There are 132 possible chords in total , more than enough for any song!

One of the most remarkable features of Futulele is that it can be operated with the iPhone (iPod Touch) and the iPad simultaneously, in a way that has never been introduced before. On the iPhone, you'll need to install Futulele Remote app (available separately).

It is not a secret that many iPad owners also have an iPhone, so Futulele is an excellent and innovative reason to get the best musical juices flowing out of both. A special guitar-shaped case holds the two devices, making it possible to select the chord on the iPhone and strum along the iPad screen, just as on a regular instrument. Changing a chord requires only one tap, and the strumming technique is easy and convenient. No external wires or hardware accessories are needed, since the devices use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (selected automatically) for communicating.

Customer Reviews

5 Stars, Even without Remote (5 stars)
This is probably going to be even more fun, but with the iPad-only version, this is one of the more expressive and musical iPad apps i've tried. Using a chordboard may be a little less technical than actually fretting a song, but it gets the job done, and the realistic strumming adds an ocean of expressiveness. Can't wait to see this expand!

Great so far! (5 stars)
Looking forward to the remote iPhone app! But so far it's great and easy to use!

Simply Awesome (5 stars)
This is a very well-thought-out app and it works great without the remote app. Can't wait to try it with.

Only thing missing is the ability to give it a standard tuning and finger your own chords (making this a practice uke of sorts), but I imagine that can only happen with the remote app.

Keep up the good work.
