### 5/5 — なかなかのバリ気分

*2008-11-09*

有名なガムランの伴奏楽器ですね。
なかなかのバリな気分が味わえます。

サウンドもチャーミングでとっても良く、
響き合うサウンドが割れたりもしませんし、
とくに余韻の音がステキです。

そんな余韻という“売り”の部分を強調するような、
たたいたときの演出が、個人的には好みではありません。
できれば設定で、演出なしも可能にしてほしいです。

［追記　11/9/2008］
今回のバージョンアップ（1.1）はたいへん満足です。
５音のみですが、十分にバリ気分を味わえます。
何より、サウンドがGoodです！

### 5/5 — Sublime

*2008-10-16*

This is my first 5-star review! This deserves it. Really soothing to play and sounds authentic!

### 5/5 — Finally, gamelan for the iPhone!

*2008-10-16*

I have been waiting for some time for this app to appear in the iTunes store after seeing it in action on YouTube. This is a real sampled 5-key gangsa instrument from a Balinese gamelan, and it's a lot of fun to play! I have played gamelan for nearly a decade, and this app plays pretty much like the real thing. Great concept and implementation, with beautiful sounds. Keep up the great work, Masayuki!

Selamat!

### 2/5 — No workie

*2008-12-10*

No sound now, worked well for 2 weeks. Bug fix update please.

### 2/5 — Not that great

*2008-12-06*

If you want a fun instrument to play, go get ikoto! It's much better!!

### 4/5 — Get it.

*2013-04-17*

Love it. It's had a permanent place on my phone from day one. An iPhone 5 screen update would be nice, though...

### 4/5 — 胸キュンになります♪

*2012-08-28*

たまたま出会えたこのアプリ。
実際にガムランを叩いたことはありませんが、大好きな音色をこんな風に躊躇せず、臆せず、はばかることなく自分で出せるのは物凄く嬉しく楽しいです。とにかくタップして音を出してみるとその胸キュン感のとりこになるかと思われます。
先日もバリに連れて行き、バリで好き勝手に叩いて遊んだのですが、最高に楽しい気分にさせてくれました。

盤の数がもう少しあれば…と思うところで★4つなのですがそんなことはどうでもよくなる胸キュン♡です♪

### 4/5 — Nice job!

*2010-03-20*

can we expect a fuller version instrument to come?

### 4/5 — 音を楽しむ

*2008-11-08*

リリースの長い余韻が気持ちよくて浸れます。癒し系です。

### 4/5 — Just one thing missing

*2008-10-23*

Can you give us tuning for angklung too?

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-01-20*

Great job. Love this app
Can u make a good Tibetan singing bowl app or those hanging chimes with the nice deep sound. Not the high pitched chime. Reverb is imporant. I think that's what. It's called. U did that with this app very well as the sound continues even after u hit it. Like that lingering sound as it's good for meditating

### 5/5 — ガムランも習いたくなってしまうなぁ～♫

*2011-11-12*

踊るだけで手一杯なだけにガムランが手軽に楽しめるのはとっても嬉しい～
叩いた時の響きとミュートの感覚もイイです♫
このお値段でバリガムランのクンダンや他パートも欲しいなぁ‥で、セッションしたいですね。
あまりアプリに興味なかったけど、一気にアプリ熱がましましたw

### 5/5 — 最高です!

*2010-05-23*

あったんですね、こんなに素晴らしいアプリが!　見つけたときは、迷わずインストールしました。音質もよく、文句なしです。ガムランが大好きな人には、特におすすめです。ゴングとかティンクリックとか、他の楽器もお願いします。期待しています!

### 5/5 — Great instrument!

*2009-05-30*

Please more similar oriental instuments!  Will buy all of them :)

### 5/5 — Wow

*2009-05-12*

Aka- what a beautiful program you have made here. I am a big fan of your externals for max and use your wiimote and light sensor ones quite frequently. Wondering when we will see your latest    osc related app...

### 5/5 — Yay for Gamelan Apps

*2009-05-10*

Great app! Striking and dampening the keys works like a charm! This app is what it is... you get one gangsa to play with... Sound quality is good. 
What this program leaves me wanting ..... is first of all: different tunings .... this app could be GREATLY enhanced with the different tunings of the various sets; more gamelan instruments to choose from would also be a plus.... but this app is great to play with and to get the sound in ones ears! TY for providing this for gamelan enthusiast!

### 5/5 — gong kebyar

*2009-04-16*

i can't wait till someone comes with out with evey instrument for the gamelan.

### 5/5 — Realistic Sound!

*2009-04-11*

I have studied gamelan for a few years and this app sounds like the real thing. Any chance of adding more instruments like reong or even kompli?

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2008-12-04*

I personally love this app, and would love to see more instruments of the gamelan orchestra developed if possible.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2008-11-15*
