## What is OMGuitar with FX and Autoplay?

OMGuitar is the best iPad guitar emulation ever created - realistic strumming, 8 guitars, 10 FX, record, MIDI, Audiobus, Remote control & More!

USAToday Rating: [3.5/4] "OMGuitar is a fresh, versatile and great-sounding guitar simulator"
AppSafari Rating: [4.5/5] "Actually useful musical tool"
TUAW: "...pretty easy to strum out a few of your favorite popular songs this weekend"

OMGuitar comes from the makers of Touch DJ!  It is a synth with unique interface and new-generation sound hybrid engine that allows anyone to produce realistic synth guitar sounds. 

There are 6 guitar types to choose from (more in updates), both electric and classic.

OMGuitar is very playable and truly expressive. It responds to the speed of your guitar strumming, catching the emotion of your melody. The quality of the guitar synth sound is so high that it can easily be used in studio work as a quick method to produce realistic rhythm and arpeggio guitar tracks. You can also engage the autoplay functionality with lots of built-in rhythms!

True guitar simulation on the touch-screen device is now possible thanks to the advanced artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes your style of playing and alters the sound accordingly.

There is a dedicated string-picking/arpeggio interface, represented as a column of 6 buttons, which can easily be played together with the string strumming interface. Note bend effect is achieved by swiping the button area.

The glowing neon strings themselves respond to the speed of strumming and the distance between themselves and the initial screen tap. The player is supposed to strum the guitar with one finger and place the second finger on the guitar at any time for muting all the strings (this option can be turned off in the settingsmenu). With such approach, many common guitar playing techniques can be easily accomplished.

You can choose from about 300 chords to play 99% of the songs ever written. The songs are conveniently saved as chord sets and can be loaded with a single tap.

Some of the world's best and most expensive guitar models have been sampled with great precision and act as the source for the synthesis engine. There are 6 completely different playable guitars, 3 acoustic and 3 electric. The tone can be further shaped with the 3-band equalizer.

OMGuitar has 10 built-in effects with over 50 presets: 2 types of Distortion, Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Wah-wah, Vowel filter, Compressor, Tremolo.

OMGuitar now supports external fretboard running in iPhone via the free Amidio Remote app (just like the Futulele).

+ The best mobile guitar emulation ever!

### 4/5 — Great when it works

*2024-10-25*

Playing this guitar is really fun, especially using it in conjunction with a looper. But here’s the thing there’s a strange thing that happens randomly when you open the app to play the sound has some sort of static in it. I want to give it five stars and I want to use it for life performances, but it’s too unreliable.

### 5/5 — IO was my first thought IO ⚡️

*2024-08-25*

Amidio thanks , what a journey.  What happened to IO, 'slow and low' was an amazing preset, my memory has no degradation, that synth was cool!

### 1/5 — They need to update or give these apps love and care

*2020-09-29, version 3.2.1*

It seems like the developers have just abandoned us...the app crashes so much especially on ios14. When you click background it crashes and it doesn’t play well with other apps as a midi instrument. As in, nothing happens. Even when you set the midi input as (for example) gestrument pro....no sounds still play. Such a shame since this has the best sounding guitars i’ve come across on the ios, but has been so difficult to implement into my production workflow.

### 5/5 — great to see this getting some updates

*2020-04-29*

just having a few issues when used in bm3/aum/cubasis...

if omg is played using the host keyboard,the responsivness
is sluggish and notes do not display the same sustain/release.

they sound stabby.

be great if that was addressed.

any plans for auv3?
or to bring back pearl?

many thanks

### 5/5 — So awesome

*2017-05-06, version 3.1.1*

This and the ukulele version are my two favorite apps ever.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2015-12-30*

While app will initially work, as soon as I change guitar the sound will often cut out. As I'm running iOS 9.2 on iPad Air 2 I assume it has issue with 9.2??? All other music apps inc GarageBand work fine so issue is not with my iPad.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2015-12-06*

I really like the chord bank system that lets you set up songs in advance.

Only problem (and hence only 4*) is that I can't get the companion iPhone app to connect (works great with Futulele).

Using IOS 9.2 Public Beta, so this may have something to do with it!

### 5/5 — Very nice virtual Axe!

*2015-07-31, version 3.0.1*

I really like this app.  There are a number of apps in this category. I think the one thing that stands out with OMG is the FX. They sound really good. 

Playing it is a breeze.  The developer is active and listens to users.

### 5/5 — Superb Guitars!

*2015-07-29, version 3.0.1*

I am thoroughly impressed with this guitar app! It sounds wonderful and is a joy to play. The new developer is looking to improve this app to be the best it can be. Looking forward to the continued development of this app and the music that I create with it.

### 5/5 — New support!

*2015-07-26, version 3.0.1*

I have owned this for quite a while and it remains one of my favorites. I am glad to learn it has a new developer behind it who is actively working to modernize and improve this classic.
