What's New in ConcertinaXL

6.0

July 31, 2018

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. You may now transpose the pitch up or down up to one octave in semitone increments. Touch the number to the right of the transpose slider to reset the transpose to zero. For a Bb/F concertina, set the transpose to -2, for an A/E, set the transpose to -3. For a Bass Baritone concertina, one octave lower than a standard C/G instrument, set the transpose to -12. When transposed, the note labels do not change, just the pitch produced.

Great idea, wrong layout

I appreciate this app for a proof of concept for Anglo compositions, BUT

it is only in a Jeffries layout so if you're trying to find things on a wheatstone configuration, you're out of luck here.

I'd happily give 5 stars if a proper wheatstone layout were added as an option

Doesn’t work. A rip off!

No push draw ability and no instructions

Note assignment for the 3rd row

I am new to this instrument and got stuck with the note assignment of the third row of the right hand side (push)of this app.

The actual assignment is

c# c# g# c# a

But standard Jefferies note assignment should be

d# c# g# c# a

There is not much use having the same c#s on the consecutive buttons and I hope this would be fixed sometime.

Furthermore, if the notes are configurable or can be switched to Wheatstone/Lachenal, this app could be more popular.

Anyway, even as it is, it can be used perfectly as a 20 button Anglo and I enjoy this. Thank you for making this app.

Thanks for your feedback. If it is possible, it would be nice if I could choose the key layouts, as I am getting familiar with Wheatstone/Lachenal layout rather than Jeffries. I am looking forward to the future update. You could release it as a new app, so that I can pay for it. Please consider.

Good emulation of the real thing

The "tilting" is a good answer to the push/pull problem, but I find I have to frequently re-calibrate as the tilt gradually moves to the left. Is there a solution?

Wrong key assignment?

I think some key assignments of upper keys of right hand are wrong.
Those are not only inconsistent with the user manual of ConcertinaXL but also different from key assignments shown on many other concertina lesson books.
