What's New in Tin Whistle Pro

2.1

July 23, 2018

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Faster response time, sound quality improvements, and bug fixes. Simplified reverb control. Now just pick your reverb style and level. MIDI improvements and new features: Implemented a better polyphonic to monophonic conversion algorithm based on most recent played notes. This makes the app work much better with keyboards and MIDI file players. Thank you Jesse Chappell (ThumbJam developer) for the suggestion. MIDI Chanter control for the Fagerström Uilleann Technopipes and other MIDI chanters and keyboard controllers: Connect your MIDI chanter first to your iPhone using a hardware MIDI interface, then launch Tin Whistle MIDI range is chromatic over the complete two-octave range of the instrument. Use the "Channel" control to set your controller's output MIDI channel. Use the "Use Lowest Note Setting" switch setting to enable / disable the bottom note offset for use with MIDI keyboards and chanters. When OFF, (best for use with MIDI keyboards) uses the following notes as the lowest note based on the selected key of the whistle: High-D: 74 High-C: 72 Bb: 70 G: 67 F: 65 Low-D: 62 When ON, set the lowest MIDI note (default is for the Fagerström Uilleann Technopipes 69 - A3) to match your MIDI chanter. Range is from MIDI note 55 to 79. Pitch bend response is based on the setting of the "MIDI Pitchbend Semitones" slider. Range is from 0 to 12 semitones. Default is 2 semitones. Also works as a sound module for MIDI file player apps.

Good App!

10/10 Good sound quality and it’s like a real tin whistle!Add a fingering chart and a song book please!Other than that it’s perfect!

What’s the point?

Bought this about a year ago in my burst of initial enthusiasm for whistle. I play with the app now and then, but I still don’t see the point. It doesn’t really help you learn how to actually play or learn new tunes. I guess you could put in the time to become a really good virtual whistle player or poke out a tune if you needed something really quiet. I regret spending the money on it. Unless you have a very clear purpose, I’d skip it.
