Sometimes you need to count or tally things. This simple app increments or decrements a counter, automatically or manually, while saying the number aloud. It uses an algorithm to choose different variants of the number sounds, so it's somewhat better sounding than text-to-speech. It counts forward or backward automatically by any integral increment, and can count up to 999,999,999 if you're willing to wait 31 years or so. But it gets more interesting than that. Enumero counts in Latin, binary, hex and morse code. Enumero counts in grey code, picks random numbers and can trip off the first 10,000 digits of Pi (in hex and binary too). Enumero can recite the names of chemical elements. It can play the toy piano, sing a little Solfege and regale you with the very interesting Nerve Events. it can iterate through all possible orders of orders, and play them as a diatonic scale. It can also make up its own words out of bits of phonemes in three different ways. No other app can claim these features! And now Enumero also can be run in Audiobus and Inter App Audio, so you can use it as a random voice in musical compositions. Check out http://www.jhhl.net/iPhone/Enumero. Compatible with iPad, & iOS9-10 From the author of lots of other iOs apps like SrutiBox, Droneo, Ellipsynth, synthicity itself, Minute, Only A, Yes Session and AUMI.

Chinese musical instruments are very interesting and have a very long history. This app try to present these Chinese instruments to non-Chinese player. There is a Chinese Version for the Chinese people. Chinese Music has been made since the dawn of Chinese civilization with documents and artifacts providing evidence of a well-developed musical culture as early as the Zhou Dynasty (1122 BC – 256 BC). Today, the music continues a rich traditional heritage in one aspect, while emerging into a more contemporary form at the same time. Traditional music in China is played on solo instruments or in small ensembles of plucked and bowed stringed instruments, flutes, and various cymbals, gongs, and drums. The scale is pentatonic. Dizi and qin are among the oldest known musical instruments from China; instruments are traditionally divided into categories based on their material of composition: animal skins, gourd, bamboo, wood, silk, earth/clay, metal, and stone. Chinese orchestras traditionally consist of bowed strings, woodwinds, plucked strings and percussion. This app includes 24 Chinese instruments, which fall into four categories: Wind instruments include dizi, xiao, sheng, suona, guan and xun etc. Plucked instruments include pipa, zheng, ruan, liuqin, sanxian and qin etc. Bowed instruments include erhu, gaohu, banhu, zhonghu, gehu and matouqin etc. Percussion instruments include dagu, bangu, bo, lou, bianzhong and yangqin etc. Each instrument has a high resolution picture, a description text file and a famous representative music. There are total 25 pieces of Chinese music, total time play exceed two hours. There is also a Music Player to play the music, if you want to listen to the music only. Beside music, there are two YouTube Video links to each Chinese instrument.
