Jordan Rudess, the world-renowned keyboardist for Dream Theater says:

"ThumbJam stands at the very top of the overcrowded music app world. The sounds included absolutely rival those found in pro instruments and making music on the app is a total joy. The only problem I have with this app is that I did not make it myself! Luckily, I'm able to work with the developer and offer a few good feature ideas as well as some choice sounds from my personal collection!"

Two signature sounds from Jordan are featured in the application!

---======----

Even if you've only played air guitar, ThumbJam lets you sound like a pro. Pick an instrument and jam -- with all the scales to choose from you'll never hit a wrong note. The high quality instrument samples will make you sound like you just skipped years of music lessons.

For the performing musician, this app is awesome for soloing on an instrument you didn't bring along. Play in any key, any style -- go from a string ensemble to a wailing guitar. ThumbJam was developed and tested by musicians to feel and sound like a real instrument. You'll be surprised at how expressive it can be, make sure to check out the videos and audio at thumbjam.com.

ThumbJam makes use of tilt and shake to add vibrato, tremolo, note bends, and volume swells for more realistic and expressive results. It supports up to five (eleven on iPad) simultaneous touches and up to 24 voice polyphony. Delay and stereo reverb add depth to the sound, and a resonant lowpass filter gives you more tone shaping power. Put on your headphones or plug in to your home stereo to experience some of the highest quality instruments in the App Store.

Build your own loops from the ground up or import your favorites and jam from there. Layer as many loops as you want, with different instruments for each. Export your loops as audio files or Ardour DAW sessions via WiFi. Copy and paste audio from other apps using Sonoma Wire Works AudioCopy/Paste as well the general pasteboard used by BeatMaker, via email, or iTune Document Sharing.

Want to jam with your friends? ThumbJam lets you broadcast tempo, key, and scale to other nearby devices via Bluetooth so you can play together live. Even better, you can use it as a MIDI or OSC controller over WiFi, with any CoreMidi compatible device to control software instruments on your computer, or play ThumbJam with hardware MIDI controllers!

The app includes a huge variety of scales, from western to eastern. Save your favorites for quick access, or create your own in-app. You can even import new scales in the Scala format for complete flexibility.

You can also record your own samples using a built-in or attached microphone and play them instantly. Create your own presets with different settings, scales and keys based on the existing instruments. You can even import samples from other apps using audio copy and paste!

What's new in Version 2.0
ThumbJam version 2.0 is a major update with many new features, including full CoreMidi support, new import and export options, custom scales, mic input control, and much more.....

MIDI Support Updates

** Supports CoreMidi via wifi and wired with the iPad camera connection kit and USB midi interfaces (in/out).
** Line6 MidiMobilizer support for midi in/out
** Akai SynthStation support for in/out.
** There is midi input support for all of the above so you can play the ThumbJam instruments with external controllers.
** Virtual midi port support for communicating directly between apps running on the same device. You can use other controller apps to play TJ running in the background, or use TJ as a controller to play other synths. Full poly bends and note tie support for smooth continuous bending with compatible controller apps.
** Cool new feature for midi input, Scale Lock. When enabled all note input is mapped to the currently selected scale. For instance, if you play up the keyboard on adjacent white keys you get the next note of the selected scale for each white key pressed. It's surprisingly playable, like the ThumbJam equivalent for keyboard controllers.
** The mod wheel controls parameters selected as an x-axis control or v.tilt volume, using whatever ranges are configured in the patch.
** Recorded audio loops now save a corresponding midi file alongside for later import into sequencers, etc.

Instruments:

** Support for instruments based on stereo samples
** Several new synth instruments built-in
** More on the way via free in-app download

Loop Mixdown

** New options for mixing down the current active audible loops to a single WAV file.
**A similar feature in the loop mixer to let you bounce the active loops down into a new loop, while muting the originals.


Scales

** Make your own custom scales in the app.
** Quick-change scale/key user preset buttons now available.
** Split screen now supports different scales on each side, as well as key.
** New set of Indian scales to more accurately represent common usage.

Effects updates:

** Reverb now has separate sends for each loop.
** Resonant low-pass filter now available, with X-axis or tilt controls for cutoff and resonance.


Import/Export/Copy/Paste:

** SoundCloud audio sharing support added. Easy sharing of loop mix-down, session or arbitrary audio file to SoundCloud, with integrated optional posting to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr (via soundcloud mechanism).
** The Copy/Paste (now Export/Import) page lets you choose to mixdown the current active loops and copy that to the clipboard, or do the usual browse thing.
** Added option for Paste, to immediately make a pasted loop the actively playing loop.
** ThumbJam can now import Instruments, LoopSets (in ZIP files) and audio files from Mail attachments, Safari web browsing, or other apps that handle documents.
** iTunes Document Sharing support for direct import or export from your computer.


Miscellaneous:

** Ability to load two instruments simultaneously for quick switching, or play using split screen.
** New additional sidebar for access to more controls quickly

** Bluetooth audio output now works when available.
** Improved tuner during sample recording and instrument creation.
** Sustain bar available to make it easier to sustain notes
** Pitch sidebar can more precisely set the note range on screen, not restricted to octave boundaries.
