uFlute : Native American Flute Simulator v1.0
Amaze your firends and family: play the flute by blowing into the bottom edge of your iPhone!
uFlute is a fun little program that simulates one of the most beautiful musical instruments ever created: the Native American Flute. On the iPhone, the flute is played by blowing gently into the lower edge of the phone, while performing touch fingering patterns that select what note to play.
Lots of fun for both adults and children. Self-teaching feature is great for beginners, graphically showing the proper flute fingering to help you learn quickly and to get started making music right away.
The 5-hole Native American Flute utilizes the pentatonic minor scale, a set of notes that sound quite special when played with one another, enabling people without musical training to begin playing sound sequences that "go well together" right away.
Version 1.0 of uFlute simulates a 5-hole Native American Flute, Key of A, and includes the notes A, C, D, E, G, and A.
The 5-hole flute's pentatonic scale creates emotion-filled music evocative of Nature and the outdoors. Try playing your uFlute wherever you go - especially in a canyon (or a stairwell!), outdoors, and even in a hotel room - and feel the music blend with nature.
Note: Advanced effects such as overblowing and achievement of chromatic scale by partially-covering holes are not included in version 1.0 of uFlute. Songs that require the full chromatic scale cannot be played on a 5-hole flute. uFlute is for iPhone only - iPod Touch is not supported.
uFlute is both educational and a lot of fun!
