Tolong 🙏🏽

App yg bagus tapi tidak bisa di mainkan di garage band , dan bug output tidak ada suksma

Great app for gamelan nerds

This is an excellent app for people who play in kebyar ensembles. The previous review mentions that they can only play in Selisir- makes no sense as this tuning is in Pelog. The app is very responsive and I enjoy using it to help me make transcriptions when I don’t have the real instruments nearby.

A few problems

This is not very responsive. I'm a gamelan player looking for something to practice on and this just doesn't work well enough. It's more a toy.

The Gangsa app has better sound and response qualities but unfortunately it's just a Calung.

Also I thought this was going to be a Semaradana instrument. It's not! You'll only be able to play in selisir.
