Musical Pro (with Tuner)
I have just released the Pro version into the Android Market for $1.99
At the moment, the only major difference is that the Pro version includes a simple tuner. The tuner includes frequencies built in for common string instruments (guitar, violin, mandolin, bass, ukulele). Unlike the “pitch pipe” feature, however, it allows you to enter custom arbitrary frequencies. It still operates pitch-pipe style though (tuning by ear), but as soon as Android allows it (Cupcake, whenever that happens), I will try to make it work with the microphone. There are also some minor interface tweaks to make room for all the new features I plan to add.
Most (if not all) future feature updates (not bug fixes) will now only be added to the Pro version rather than the Lite version (and all will obviously be free upgrades to purchases of the Pro version). Here is a sneak peek of the some features on my ToDo list that I would like to add to Musical Pro (disclaimer: this is my personal wishlist, not guarantees, but I will try to complete as many of them as I can):
- Real Tuner (depends on when Cupcake comes out)
- Games (rhythm-based, music theory practice, etc)
- More Instruments (drums? violin? xylophone? others?)
- Circle of Fiths
- Intervals (and interval recognition practice)
- Scales
- Additional Languages (as the Android Market adds paid apps to other countries, and as I find people who will translate for me
) - Melody/Notation Editor (with MIDI export)
- Recording Virtual Instruments (if possible, with MIDI export)
If you want to try out the new Tuner, Android Market lets you download a paid app and get your money back if you return it within 24 hours. I believe though if you do this now, you won’t be able to use this trial at a late date when I release more features, so be aware of that if you do.
Another thing to note: the price is starting at $1.99, but if I get a bunch of these new features in, I may raise the price as I see fit. If you buy it now though at the introductory price, all upgrades are free.
Thanks for all the support, and enjoy Musical Pro!
