Description

Voice Band introduces a revolutionary new way to make music - with your voice! Featured on G4TVs Attack of the Show (with Olivia Munn).

Check out what others have to say:

NYTimes: Want to write music but you cant play an instrument? Download Voice Band, sing the melodies and rhythms for different instruments, and the app creates the bass, guitar and drum tracks to your specs.

Gizmag: Stunning multitrack rock band recordings using only your voice.

Tuaw.com: I don't usually gush during App reviews [but] VoiceBand is pretty marvelous.

Imagine creating an entire song with only your voice.

Just sing into your phone and hear Voice Band transform your voice into an instrument in real time. Voice Band doesn't simply alter your voice to sound like an instrument, it actually plays a real sampled instrument which follows what you sing. Want to jam to a guitar solo with your favorite band? Voice Band lets you play along with your ipod library, too.

Voice Band features a recorder which lets you build a song, one instrument at a time. Auto pitch mode helps you stay on key, and if you're a musician, you'll appreciate the adjustable scale and metronome. Voice Band also includes a built-in effects processor with distortion, reverb, and delay.

Whether youre a musician looking to instantly capture an arrangement idea, or a music fan looking to make your own music for the first time, Voice Band will inspire and challenge you.

Customer Reviews

MY FAVE APP RIGHT NOW (5 stars)
Those of you dropping 1 star ... It's not the app it's the OPERATOR! I admit there is some latency w the instruments but it's adaptable. My favorite part is the overlapping of sounds and or my own harmony. I also LOVE THE REVERB!!! ive made some really amazing Acapella songs! If you're giving this app 1 star it's because you have no talent.

So much potential (3 stars)
Like a lot of the other people who have reviewed the app, I am a professional singer, but I also play multiple instruments (cello, piano, guitar, bass, some brass and woodwinds, etc) and teach voice and most of the instruments mentioned. I had high hopes for this app as a fun thing for my kids, as well as a teaching tool. What it has turned into is something that I spent at least 15 dollars on after downloading it, buying multiple instrument

ABSOLUTLY AMAZIN' (5 stars)
This is a great game, million of dollars it is worth!!!
