Description

JustDrones is a set of tunable fully chromatic virtual Uilleann bagpipes drones for intonation practice with any instrument. An optional additional just-tuned interval drone may be enabled a 3rd, 4th, or 5th scale tone above or a 5th or octave bass below the root. The volume of the main drones and the interval drone may be controlled independently. You may adjust the tuning of the main drones and the just-intonation based interval drone +/- 50 cents in one-cent increments using the fine-tuning slider control just below the drone puck. Touch the "Zero" button to quickly reset the fine tuning. Pitch selection, interval drone, fine tuning, and volume settings are saved when the app exits and restored the next time the app is run. The interval drones are tuned using just intonation relative to the drone root pitch for perfect consonance. Playing against drones is an excellent way to work on improving intonation. Tin whistle, wooden flute, and Irish fiddle players can all benefit from using the JustDrones as a practice aid. JustDrones can be enjoyed by anyone who wants to add the unique sound of the Uilleann pipes drones to their live or recorded music. Uilleann pipers, looking for an interesting alternative to standard D drones on a concert set? Set the main drone root to G and enable the 5th interval drone. To get even more usefulness out of JustDrones, try plugging your iPhone or iPod Touch into a set of external speakers. The drones sounds are from acoustic recordings without additional effects. Try connecting to external effects devices such as chorus or reverb boxes for even more interesting sounds. It also plays perfectly through the iPhones speaker (make sure you turn off the ringer mute switch if youre not hearing anything). Please visit my website for demonstration videos of JustDrones and additional information.

Not the money worth!

It Sounds like alien tones.

Good...but...

mukti888 · 16 years ago

Some modulation ability would be nice. Perhaps some reverb? Good tone, though :-)

Good Practice Tool

Chank · 15 years ago

I love using this app while practicing Celtic fiddling. The sound and tone quality are great! I think that many give low ratings because they download it without realizing what it is exactly. Its exactly what the title says it is: "Just drones" This is a really nice tool for those musicians out there looking for a pitch reference while playing. I think its a very neat app.

Cool, but

A few more options wouldnt hurt

Love the drones

Medieval Moose · 15 years ago

Stable app that is just what it says it is. The tunability factor is awesome. Helpful update to make: As a singer, it would be more usable to me if it was possible to have an additional octave for both sets of drones.

Missing notes

This app really needs e flat and a flat!

Solid

Newbie5368 · 14 years ago

Good app-the drones are incredibly useful when working on tuning, and the complex waveforms (not just straight sine waves) are a big plus. Only four stars because the design isnt the best (the on/off button is too big, the note buttons are too small, and landscape orientation would be nice) and it would be nice to have multiple octaves. To the person asking for e flat-play d sharp, close your eyes, and youll hear e flat :-)
