Read full description

Ocarina Studio is a focused teacher for a real 12-hole Alto C ocarina. Learn the exact fingering for every note, build a steady tone with the long-tone coach, and get an honest note-by-note verdict from your microphone, worked out on your iPhone. NEW: LONG-TONE COACH (FREE) On an ocarina your breath sets the pitch: more air goes sharp, less goes flat. Pick a note, hear it, then hold it. The coach draws your pitch line against a ±10-cent band and tells you whether the hold was steady, sharp, flat or wobbly, and what to change in your breath. LEARN STEP BY STEP • 12 playable lessons across four progressive units • The first 3 lessons are free • Exact 12-hole patterns from the two sub-holes through the upper register • A highlighted note, fingering, pitch difference and visible beat while you play 36 SONGS, CHECKED NOTE BY NOTE Public-domain folk, classical and seasonal melodies, each with a complete 12-hole score and a fingering for every note: Ode to Joy, Greensleeves, Scarborough Fair, Amazing Grace, Sakura Sakura, Au Clair de la Lune, Danny Boy (Londonderry Air), Silent Night, Deck the Halls and more. 12 songs are free. PRACTISE WITH HONEST FEEDBACK The app measures the room before a take and listens on your device. Clear performances get note-by-note clean, timing, off-note and missed results. If there is not enough microphone evidence, the take is shown as Not graded instead of inventing a score. FREE, USEFUL AND COMPLETE • Chromatic tuner with live microphone level • Long-tone coach with a live pitch line • 12-hole C and G fingering charts • The first 3 course lessons • 12 complete songs with graded takes • Unlimited private MusicXML import and play-along preview • A pocket ocarina you can play with your breath or touch-only OCARINA STUDIO PRO: PAY ONCE Pro unlocks all 12 course lessons, 24 more graded pieces, Wait Mode on every playable piece and grading for your private MusicXML imports. Wait Mode advances only after the exact written note is heard in tune. Pro is a one-time purchase in the app, so no subscription is needed, and Restore Purchases brings it back on a new iPhone. The App Store shows the price before you buy. Microphone pitch processing stays on your device and recordings are never uploaded. No ads.

Give the music in your room a world of color. Psychodeli+ creates flowing patterns and kaleidoscopes on iPhone and iPad, drawn live as you watch. Play music through speakers and enable microphone listening, or enjoy an evolving picture on its own. APPLE MUSIC PLAYER: macOS ONLY The in-app Apple Music player is macOS only for this release. It is not included on iPhone or iPad. The Mac edition requires macOS 26 or later and Apple silicon; catalog playback requires an Apple Music subscription. The player is included without a Psychodeli purchase. HOW THE VISUALS LISTEN Enable the microphone in Reactivity. Psychodeli listens to sound in the room, shaping motion and color from rhythm, energy and changes in the music. It can respond to speakers, a turntable or live music nearby. Microphone listening does not access the protected stream from Apple Music or other music apps. Music playing only through headphones cannot drive the visuals through the microphone. You can still enjoy the visuals on their own. MAKE THE ROOM PART OF IT Compatible Govee lights carry the visual palette into your room. Supported segmented strips spread the colors along their length. Connections are local over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth; model support varies, and some Wi-Fi lights need LAN Control enabled in Govee Home. Turn on camera reactivity to let your head movement influence the picture. Camera frames and microphone audio are processed on your device. KEEP YOUR FAVORITE LOOKS Explore 17 Pdeli Looks across Originals, Animal Patterns and Kaleido. Save your own in Personal and assign favorites to Jukebox slots. Your Looks stay on your device. Choose a palette, settle into a kaleidoscope, or let the picture keep evolving. START WITH THE FREE EXPERIENCE The visualizer, microphone listening, camera reactivity, curated palettes, Saved Looks, compatible Room Lights and PNG sharing are included. You do not need a Psychodeli account. PSYCHODELI TOUCH One optional purchase adds the Perform deck for hands-on visual control, expressive Self, Mask and Eyes modes, palette holds, keep-awake and extra room controls. Supported iPhone and iPad features also include camera color capture and silent Live Photo creation from your visuals. Features vary by device. Psychodeli Touch is not a subscription and does not include an Apple Music subscription. Photosensitivity notice: Psychodeli fills the screen with motion, flashing, and rapidly changing colors and patterns. A small number of people may experience discomfort, dizziness, or seizures when exposed to such visuals, even with no prior history. View in a well-lit room, sit back from the screen, take breaks, and stop immediately if you feel unwell.
