Reviews of FingerFiddle

  • Good start, could be better

    In terms of raw expressive power, FingerFiddle is quite powerful, certainly on par with SWAM instruments. For the price, it can’t be beaten. So it is a shame that, for all its good qualities, FingerFiddle is not on par with baseline standards for instrument apps. One thing that would drastically improve the quality of FingerFiddle is oversampling. Performing slow glissandi or sul ponticello on the high strings reveals the telltale “AM radio tuning” of aliasing distortion. This alone makes the app unsuitable for solo performances or any situation (effects, reverb) where the aliasing would increase. There is also the matter of control. Ideally, there would be some support for MIDI and MPE input AND output, possibly with each string allocated to its own channel. I also noticed that, though five-string basses are common for cinematic music and pops repertoire, no such option is available for the bass models. This is disappointing, though not as mission-critical as MIDI or sound engine improvements. Until these changes are implemented, this is a novelty, not a performance tool.
  • Realistic!!

    I have iSymphonic and Garageband, but they don’t exactly give me much control, this app gave me so much more than any app could possibly give me! i wish the lower strings had a slightly higher quality though.
  • What a great app!

    Is almost like playing a real violin.
    I'm having so much fun messing with this ingenious app.
