What is great with the mobile devices is when someone is coming up with new ways to use them-
And here is one of them.
Feel ashamed to tell you all that when the app got downloaded and I tried to use it, did not understand the fundamentals and tried to use the microphone in the device resulting in no sound except the sound you play, tried different devices to no avail-
but what the fuck, it got good reviews-
even wrote the developer... sure that he is still laughing ti hi...
(especially as he explains what I did wrong really clearly in the app description! But me and reading...)
No answer, so back to the video for the app-
seeing that he is holding the fingers like boxing in the sound, so that got tried but still no success!!!
Ahhh the idiocy at play-
Blame it all on my parents.
Finally it dawned on me that what is needed is to hold the speaker from the device as close as possible to the mouth and the whole reason that he is boxing in the sound is to get as much resonance as possible into his mouth.
So when this got figured out realized that you could actually do this with any sound!
Guess the louder you can get it the better and some sounds work better than others-
The advantage with using this application is that the developer have figured out some of the better frequencies and also made the buttons as big as possible (going in one scale or other- eight buttons) so you can play it easier as the speaker is normally (or always?) on the back of the device.
It does need some practice but think what you see in the official video is impressive enough to warrant a free download and go do your own experiments...
Wait hold on!
Two thoughts more-
One:
It would probably be possible to use a small container to place over the speaker with a small tube out- not a too long a tube as the speaker on a device is not so strong and too much sound would get wasted before reaching your mouth...
Two:
You could do a prerecording of a synth or similar,
play it back in any player and in this way not having to concentrate on playing at the same time...
Well lets add a third:
If you saw the videos from yesterdays post-
make one and use a synthesizer from your device...
