Η εφαρμογή αυτή είναι μία ηλεκτρονική προσομοίωση του ελληνικού μπαγλαμά. Η πρωτότυπη σχεδίαση του interface δίνει τη δυνατότητα στο χρήστη να προσθέτει δυνατότητες ή να αλλάζει τις ρυθμίσεις της εφαρμογής γρήγορα και εύκολα.
Ο τρόπος χρήσης της εφαρμογής είναι πάρα πολύ κοντά στον πραγματικό τρόπο παιξίματος του μπαγλαμά. Όλοι οι ήχοι έχουν ηχογραφηθεί σε στούντιο και η πιστότητα τους είναι εξαιρετική. Δεν έχουν προστεθεί ειδικά ηχητικά εφέ ώστε να διατηρηθεί ο παραδοσιακός ήχος του οργάνου.

Η εφαρμογή περιλαμβάνει:
- 16 ρυθμούς με τουμπελέκι (ζεϊμπέκικο, καμηλιέρικο, ρούμπα, χασαποσέρβικο, τσιφτετέλι)
- 16 ρυθμούς με ντέφι, όμοιους με το τουμπελέκι
- 8 ρυθμούς με κομπολόι (ζεϊμπέκικο, καμηλιέρικο)
- 5 κουρδίσματα (αρχικό κούρδισμα D-A-D και επιπλέον C-G-C, G-D-G, D-A-G, D-A-C)
- Δυνατότητα χρήσης από αριστερόχειρες
- Δυνατότητα κύλισης της ταστιέρας μέχρι το τάστο 19 και αλλαγή του πλάτους των τάστων

Μπορείτε να κατεβάσετε μια πλήρη έκδοση της εφαρμογής δωρεάν για πέντε(5) λεπτά, μετά τη λήξη των οποίων η έκδοση αυτή θα διατίθεται προς αγορά.

Schlechter gehts kaum! Funktioniert nicht und Layout negativ

### 2/5 — Klingt gut aber zu wenig Optionen

*2015-12-25, version 1.0.1*

Man kann nur 3-4 Akkorde halten... Könnte ruhig etwas besser ausgeklügelt sein.

************************ English *************************

This version offers the user a different way to play the background rhythms. In fact, the user can preset the desired rhythms. Every time the user chooses a rhythm, a play button appears. When you tap it, the preset rhythms (one or more) start playing and the play button turns into a stop button, so you can stop all sounds simultaneously. If you want to cancel a choice of yours, you can do it by selecting stop on the table view of the specific rhythm.  

************************ Ελληνικά *************************

Η έκδοση αυτή δίνει τη δυνατότητα στο χρήστη να προεπιλέξει τους ρυθμούς που θέλει να ακούσει. Κάθε φορά που επιλέγει ένα ρυθμό, ένα κουμπί play εμφανίζεται. Αν πατηθεί το κουμπί , ο ρυθμός ή οι ρυθμοί που είχαν επιλεγεί αναπαράγονται και ταυτόχρονα το κουμπί αλλάζει σε stop ώστε να μπορεί να σταματήσει ταυτόχρονα όλους τους ρυθμούς. Αν ο χρήστης θελήσει να ακυρώσει μια επιλογή, αυτό μπορεί να το κάνει μέσα από το μενού του συγκεκριμένου οργάνου επιλέγοντας stop.
