Washboard
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Now free through April 15! If you like it, please leave a review!
******
Turn your mobile device into a musical washboard! You can play the classic metal washboard as is, or customize it by adding instruments like horns and woodblocks in any combination. You can even add decorations like a flower, a sticker or party lights. Play along with your iPod music, or plug into an amp and join a jug band!
Some reviews say the app doesn't sound like a washboard, but it does use audio samples taken from a real washboard. The samples come from a metal board played with 1" zinc washers -- this gives a sound harder than thimbles but softer than spoons -- and include a tap, scrub and wood sound. The add-on instruments also use real audio samples. Instruments include:
- Small cowbell
- Large cowbell
- Small horn
- Large horn
- Tambourine
- Cymbal
- Small woodblock
- Large woodblock
- Service bell
- Vibraslap
- Toy chicken
Decorations (no sound) include:
- Toy dinosaur
- Flower
- Bow tie
- Hula girl
- Woody Guthrie sticker
- Party lights
If you have any MIDI equipment, you can also use Washboard as a MIDI controller. Map each instrument in the app to a note number in your sound module, then tap the board or attached instruments to send note-on commands. The MIDI commands are sent on channel 10 for easy access to most percussion modules.
Before buying this app, I recommend watching the demo videos at washboardapp.com to see how it works. If you need help after your purchase, please email me from the link on that site, because I have no way to contact users who post reviews.
