Real Violin Solo: Play, Learn and Record Immerse yourself in the world of string instruments. Real Violin Solo pairs studio-recorded samples with a hand-drawn, fully scalable violin, so every note sounds and looks the way it should, from your first open string to Vivaldi. PLAY • Five instruments: violin, viola, cello, double bass and a second violin voice. • A scrollable fingerboard with 64 notes, and a zoom control so the neck fits your screen, phone or tablet. • Pizzicato technique at the tap of a button. • Studio effects: reverb (from small room to cathedral), delay, equalizer and compressor. • Left-handed mode. LEARN • Seven guided lessons, graded from beginner to expert: Jingle Bells, Frère Jacques, Silent Night, Can Can, Happy Birthday, We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Vivaldi's Four Seasons. • Note names on the fingerboard as you play, in the notation you actually use: English (A B C), Do Re Mi, German (H / Bb) or Japanese (ハ ニ ホ). • Metronome from 40 to 300 BPM. • Playback speed from 0.25x to 2x, to slow a passage down until it is yours. RECORD AND SHARE • Record your sessions, rename them and play them back to hear your progress. • Export to MP3, OGG, WAV (PCM) or MIDI and share with anyone. • Import MIDI files, or play through a connected MIDI device. Remove ads with a one-time license and unlock every lesson.
