TAQS.IM Oriental Synthesizer
When I opened the app the first time, I could immediately see the name of the default preset.
Duduk Vibrato....
My favorite instrument....
The instrument that reminds us that we are humans...
There are not many Apps with a Duduk....
And even less with a satisfying sound....
So when I first pressed one of the keys of the keyboard, I was a little afraid of what I was going to hear...
Wahoo....
That's exactly the sound of the Duduk I love... With this Vibrato.... The one that reminds you life on earth... The beginning of our civilization....
After that, I started listening to the other presets....
All these instruments that I love...
The Ney, the Oud, the Tar,..... (Check out the App Store description at the end of this post)
All of them sound perfect....
Add a little Reverb or Delay (Fx section) and you're done....
You can also set the attack and the release, even use the built in Filter... (Super filter...)
18 rhymic loops are also present with a Tempo control and its volume.

You can choose a scale from the built in library (App Store description) or create and save your own. (Microtonal)
An option allows you to highlight the keys on the keyboard from the selected scale (see the screenshot below)

Finally, a MIDI learn function....

In conclusion....
If there was only the Duduk in this App, and nothing else,...
Maybe just a keyboard to play it, I would have concluded my review with
A Killer App! A Must Have!
But there is so much more than that for such a small price....
Yes, I usually don't talk about price, but there, I'm a little bit obliged when you look at all the other oriental Apps in the app store, there's no picture....
To Killer App! A Must Have! An essential App for all movie scores composers and oriental musicians!

    Because I can read everywhere a Policy...

    1. this blog is man by a human for humans
    2. I can make some mistakes (because I am a human)
    3. Nothing will deleted or removed from this blog. For my mistakes or angers, apologies and corrections will be added if needed.
    4. You can see everyday on a banner in the What's hot today post the Apps offered by a developer...
    5. If you participate to the Sunday Contest, you will have to trust in me... But, if you like you can asked me the email list of the readers who participate to a Contest included Time and Date. I will send it to you...
    6. My rating... The first criterion is the App Store description. The last one is my taste and this is totally subjective... Each post come with a tutorial showing you all the knobs, menu, faders,.... Everything that you will be able to find in an App... I hope that this will help to make your own rating.
    7. If I really don't like an App, don't understand it or found too many bugs, I send an email to the developer.... I asked him if the App will be update shortly, I also offer my services as Beta Tester.... Most of the time, I will wait for a future update... Developers are humans too!...
    8. All comments will be publish here. For insults, offenses or very bad mood, the only restriction is that you have to sign with your real name...
    9. I don't know... Peraphs that I will add something later.
