iKoto App for iPhone, Traditional Japanese Music at Your Fingertips
I’ve seen and played with a lot of iPhone applications, but iKoto take the cake on originality/education ratio. GClue, Inc., based out of Japan, has created a very innovative method to teach, practice, and empower musicians of the Koto. The Koto is a Japanese harp that creates a very distinct tone for traditional Japanese music.
The application allows users to record, play, and demonstrate their talent on the Koto all from a handheld device. The virtual strings vibrate with the tune so that the user can practice their hand and finger movements. The iKoto comes with the following selections: “Explanation of functions” “Play demonstration”; “Play recorded performance”; “Record performance”;
“Stop play or record”.
GClue has a long standing history of making outstanding mobile applications since 2000. This application can be found for .99 At the Apple iTunes store.
Here’s a video of the iKoto in action!
