## What is BlueJamPlayer?

The BlueJamPlayer is made for musicians and should be the tool of choice when it comes to doing one of the things below...

LIVE | You play in a band and sometimes require guitar riffs, drum patterns or sound clips that you have as MP3 on your iPhone or iPad. With BlieJamPlayer you could start the clip with a footswitch, because as a guitar player there is no hand free to start playback on your mobile when playing

TRAINER | You want to learn a song or a difficult solo and you have to practice it over and over again? Simply load song or solo onto your iPhone/iPad, adjust speed and control it via footswitch

JAM | You have some cool songs where you simply just want to play along. Maybe adjust the pitch to match your vocals and ready for your jam session

DUO | If you play in a DUO and your team is incomplete, you can record your songs in Left/Right split and then turn off your own part to play along with your records. With playlists you could play through your entire session songs

For this to work, our BlueJamPlayer has a lot of features to offer:
#  The player is controlled via Bluetooth by PagerTurner foot pedals
#  Pitch can be adjusted without changing the speed
#  Also, the speed is adjustable without changing the pitch
#  Free configurable effects (reverb, delay, flanger, equalizer, filter)
#  All songs in your iTunes library can be used
#  Songs are analyzed to the key, so you know the key when playing solos
#  The BPM are also analyzed and delay and flanger automatically adjusted to BPM
#  The playlist management will help to sort your session songs
#  There are 4 Play Modes with different usage of your foot pedal
#  The A->B play mode is made to play parts of a song in a loop

We packed all of that into our small, compact BlueJamPlayer. If you like to know which Bluetooth PageTurner pedals will work, there are suggestions in the Bluetooth setup

- Hands-free footswitch control

### 3/5 — Don’t be put off by terrible example tracks ...

*2019-05-10*

App itself is mostly fine (particularly at this price) but some of the supplied tracks/loops sound like they were recorded on a slow night at the local karaoke bar ...

My (uninvited) advice to the developer: 

1) start again with example content (royalty-free loops maybe?) - you really aren’t doing yourself any favours with the current vocals (sorry)
2) reconsider the novelty FX - I can’t think of any examples where anyone would want to add FX to a finished track or even a training loop - you’d be putting effects on the instrument you were playing live - never on the backing track.
3) focus your efforts on improving the pitch change algorithm - this is a useful feature but l get lots of audio glitches even on a modern iPad Pro
4) starting/stopping the audio via cable connected midi devices as well as Bluetooth midi would open up using this app with other pedals (iRig stomp, HX stomp etc)
5) Open up import from Dropbox/Google Drive. Whole tracks may be on iTunes but loops/jams almost never are (so this is particularly an issue for your other scales app)

Some good potential here but some fixes and content required - very happy to revisit this score/review if the app is improved.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your detailed feedback. Midi and Dropbox is already on our wishlist. 
We are non professional musicians as you already recognised in the samples, but there are millions of us. That’s why we keep the unprofessional sample songs. :-)
The effect section is not made for backing tracks already mixed, but for your own second part of a song you like to play along. 
But thanks again for your comments, this is done very often!

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2019-02-15*

Endlich eine APP die genau erfüllt 
was ich brauche.
Zum Jammen, Üben oder als
Begleitung ideal und ganz nebenbei 
auch optisch schön gestaltet.
Das Auge hört auch mit 😉
