## What is Magic Xylo?

Magic Xylo is not only a casual xylophone. It magically shows you what to touch to play a song. Within minutes you can play "all my ducklings", "Cuckoo, Kuckoo", "Brother John", "Happy Birthday", Jingle Bells" and other songs.

You can also change the sound of your xylophone to tinkle bell, marimba, toy piano, orchestra hit or wood block.

Works like expected: you can slide over the xylophone as well as play several tones simultaneously.

### 3/5 — Great make your own music!

*2009-10-28, version 0*

More than just a single trick xylophone -would love more types - drums, trumpets, bass, flute for example.

### 2/5 — sound is distorted, too bad

*2009-04-22, version 0*

In what otherwise is a fun little application, the sound distortion is a show stopper. Just drag your finger over the bars and you can hear the distortion.

### 2/5 — Why

*2009-03-15, version 0*

Sound quality is not the best. This got my ipod to recovery mode. WTH?

### 2/5 — Eh?

*2009-02-15, version 0*

I bought this after buying church organ, which was amazing. This, however doesn't have very good sound, and not a lot of keys. The sounds sound different, but not like the real thing. Also, when you slide the keys, the sound sounds awful! Don't buy unless you like making pretty crappy music.

### 2/5 — Not The Best

*2008-12-22, version 0*

I Wouldent Recamend it 

All The Sounds Sound The Same

### 4/5 — Works great

*2008-12-05, version 0*

Good sound, easy to use. A fun little app. It could use some kind of chart above it showing what note each key is, but other than that, great

### 2/5 — I gotta stop buying every music app.

*2008-11-13, version 0*

when you swipe across the instrument the sound gets very distorted. maybe it needs a higher sample rate.
