Saxophone eMotion lets you add a few simple motions to a touch controlled saxophone.This app is targeted for all levels of saxophone players and includes the rich sounds of alto, baritone, tenor, and soprano saxophones.
Saxophone eMotion has several simple motion controls. The accelerometer can control the saxophones volume level and the gyroscope can control the saxs octave range. Moving the device up and down raises the saxophones volume and moving the device right to left lowers the volume. To change the octave range, you rotate the device either in a see-saw fashion or like you are turning a door knob.
The app features an 8 octave range covering 96 notes (much more than a standard saxophone), 10 different volume levels and two different pad layouts. With each pad, you can play the alto, baritone, tenor or soprano sax. Every note has two durations - short or long.
The 12 note pad covers the entire saxophone octave by semitone. With the 12 note pad, you also have the option of turning the motion controls off.
The 8 note pad covers common music scales/modes - including major, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, minor, harmonic minor, and locrian. You get to choose the saxophone key with the 8 note pad.
