About

Maestro Move

Features
Read full description

Maestro Move builds a band around you. Pick a song, set the tempo, and add the parts you want to hear - drums, bass, guitar, melody. Each track has its own character: dial a part from simple to complex when you need it to sit back or push, and tune it to the key you are working in. Change the tempo at any time and every part follows. Start from one of the included songs, each with its own feel and BPM, or start from a blank song and build it up from nothing. It is made for playing along - practising an instrument, running a class, or working one section over and over at the speed you actually need. Maestro Move uses the standard Apple User License: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
