About

Scordio

Features
Read full description

Scordioは、ギターにおいてオープンチューニングやドロップチューニングに代表されるさまざまな変則チューニングを実験し、記録・管理するのに適したアプリです。開放弦の音(チューニング)を変えると指板上の音も同期的に変わるのはもちろん、指板上の音を変えた場合もそれに応じて同じ弦の開放音が同期的に変わります。 各ポジションの音はタップすると再生・試聴でき、ギターが手元になくてもさまざまなチューニングの響きを試せます(各ポジションごとの他、開放弦6本すべてをまとめて鳴らすことも可能です)。他のアプリで再生していた音を止めずに鳴らせるため、任意の音源や映像を再生しながら相性の良いチューニングを模索するのにも良いでしょう。 実音だけでなくナチュラルハーモニクスの音も切り替えて表示できるので、例えばあるフレーズをハーモニクス音だけで演奏したい場合に5フレット・7フレットといったナチュラルハーモニクスが鳴る特定のポジションごとの音程設定から演奏可能なチューニングをすばやく見つけられます。 楽器演奏や作編曲と密接に設計されたアプリは、往々にして独自的な操作体系を備えており、身体の延長として馴染んで扱えるようになるまで一定の学習・時間を要します。ScordioはiOS標準の操作体系への準拠を意識した設計によって、iPhoneにはじめからインストールされている標準的なアプリに近い操作で扱えるため、すぐにチューニングの実験や管理に取り組むことができます。 iCloud同期のほか、チューニングをテキストファイルとして書き出し、読み込みできます。これまで使っていた様々な楽曲のチューニングを、テキストファイルの形式にしてScordioに読み込んで閲覧・管理できます。
