Lazy Lopez: Bass

A new name and a new look: Bass Buddha is now Lazy Lopez: Bass, part of Lazy Lopez Music. Your songs, ideas, recordings and settings are right where you left them. The one change is the look: the app now has a single Lazy Lopez theme that follows your phone's Light or Dark setting, so a colour theme you picked before is not kept. Made for iPhone Duo: a music stand for your loops, and a hinge that slides. On iPhone Duo • Stand it on the amp. Open the phone halfway and set it down: the chord sheet, tuner, metronome, loops, Jam, drills and routines put what you read on the upright half and what you tap on the flat half. The sheet keeps scrolling on its own and its text steps up a size. Nothing moves until the phone is actually standing. • Slide with the hinge. Tap a degree on a scale's page so it rings, then fold the Duo and the note glides up to the next degree of the scale, fretless-style; unfold and it comes back. Snap the phone shut a little and it lands on that next degree. A slider under the notes does the same by touch and shows where you're headed, A to C. • Flip cards. Turn Flip on in the fretboard trainer or the ear trainer. A closed phone asks the question, opening it turns the card over, closing it deals the next one. Show answer and Next are still a tap away. • Capture closed, develop open. Record an idea with the phone shut, open it, and the idea is waiting on the big screen with its riff tab and notes beside the waveform. A take in progress also survives the phone opening or closing. • Everywhere else on the Duo, every screen keeps clear of the side strip, the welcome headline fits, and the chord and scale rows stop where the clock begins. The hinge features follow the phone's hinge angle and each has a touch equivalent. On every other iPhone nothing changes.
