All Versions of Aeolian Harp
1.4.2
June 3, 2015
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Bug fixes and support for iOS 8
More1.4.1
December 13, 2012
Supports the display of the new iPhone 5.
Bug fixes for iOS 6.
1.4
July 20, 2012
The new version of the Aeolian Harp allows you to play with more expression in a direct and intuitive way. The finger-area sensing technology distinguishes between accented and soft notes by measuring the area of the touches. The steeper the angle of your finger, the smaller the resulting touch-area and the softer the sounds.
- Sounds and animation can be recorded and send via mail.
- An optional filter reduces the number of dissonant intervals of the echo effect.
- The fading of the strings can be disabled to enhance the playability of the Aeolian Harp as an instrument.
- Supports the retina display of the new iPad.
- Improved speed of graphic routines.
More1.3.1
April 3, 2011
Bug fix version for iOS 4.3.1.
1.3
October 27, 2010
You can use the snapshot function to save your preferred combinations of parameters, colors, and sounds as new coverflow items.
The correspondence between sounds and visualizations has been improved. The reverberation of the echo effect has been extended. This allows to listen longer to events without engagement.
The instructions explain the parameters, settings, and menu items now in more detail.
Improved support of the retina display.
More1.2
September 13, 2010
This version includes six new instruments from different hemispheres. The Aeolian Harp can now be played as a Balalaika, Celtic Harp, Guitar, Gamelan, Guzheng, Kalimba, Koto, Marimba, Orchestral Harp, or Sitar. Each of these instruments can be assigned to a compass direction with a double tap on a cardinal point. This way up to four instruments can be used at the same time.
The quality of the instruments depends on the output device. On iPhone and iPod we strongly recommend headphones or external speakers.
The loudness of the instruments now increases with the distance of the notes from the center.
The performance on iPod and iPhone devices has been improved.
More1.1
July 22, 2010
The sound concept has been revised. It is now possible to play the Aeolian Harp very much like a real harp. The touching of successive chords, e.g., generates glissandi.
A new echo effect repeats single notes and glissandi alike. The duration of the echo can be controlled by the evaporation of the particles, whereas the speed of repetitive pattern is controlled by the wind parameter. Both parameter can be manipulated in the settings menu. Try the predefined games to see echo effect in its various forms.
Additionally, it is now possible to select modes to change the harmonic character of the generated music. Touch the clef in the center of the display twice to show the new mode menu.
The sounds of the instruments are now recorded from real instruments.
The responsiveness of the user interface has been improved.
Supports the retina display of the iPhone4.

Price History of Aeolian Harp
Description of Aeolian Harp
The Aeolian Harp is named for Aeolus, the ancient Greek god of the wind. Wind harps are the oldest forms of automatic music. The app uses the wind harp as a metaphor and allows the user to create relaxing animations and sounds without musical knowledge.
Touches and strokes generate visualizations and sounds which evolve in time.
User defined parameter and color schemes can be used to explore the manifoldness of the underlying particle system.
The compass can be used to locate the following instruments in the four directions of the winds: Balalaika, Celtic Harp, Guitar, Gamelan, Guzheng, Kalimba, Koto, Marimba, Orchestral Harp, and Sitar. Each of these instruments can be assigned to a compass direction with a double tap on a cardinal point.
The acceleration sensor is used to simulate the impact of gravity on the flowing particles. (You must increase the impact of gravity in the parameter settings to see the effects.) Other parameters can be used to control the duration of the sounds. Endless loops, for instance, can be created by a reduction of the evaporation parameter and an increase of the elasticity of the particles.
Snapshots of the animation can be sent via e-mail.
Recommended for headphones and external speakers (especially the speakers of the iPod and iPhone may distort high and low sounds).
