Aeolian Harp App Reviews

Finally an instrument with a simple but sophisticated interface. Nice sounding and really musical results, not the robotic kind of output. One of the nicer music apps i found, and worth every penny of the small amount you pay for it. I asked Uwe to add midi-out to make it possible to play other instruments like a synthesizer with this program, and it would be far nicer than a sequencer or grid or something like that. I got a friendly reply one hour after my mail to him! He will think about it. Thanks for this very nice App , Uwe.

What a truly beautiful music/art app. Great sound and amazing visually. Definitely worth the price if your into apps like bloom. Or like art apps like Uzu. Keep up the great work and please continue to update this. Maybe some other instruments?

Awesome App. Beautifully done. At the crossroads between science, music and visual arts. Quite mesmerizing. Congratulations and thank you M. Oestermeier.

Its very well executed, but the music is not generative, as it is with Bloom. It needs constant input. Sound quality is excellent.

Verry Nice work pro for everry body Yes y like Cocoamigo

Makes good use of the iPhone chip, works very well, with fast response, lovely tone and quick refresh. I also ran it on my first gen. touch. just fine. Tech support is great, same day response. Make sure you reboot your phone after installing to ensure it works properly. Try it on speakers for more depth of sound. Highly recommend and will love it when I have an iPad to play on.

It is very rare indeed that I come across an application that is this beautiful on so many levels. Whether you are a musician, an artist or simply wanting to soothe your soul.

Nice complement to another instrument or great on its own for some ambient sounds.

This app use to behave in a particular way such that I could create art with it. Now its list the subtl behaviors it used to hav n I no longer use the app.

Magnificent concept and execution of the concept itself !!!! From all aspects ,to be able to compose sounds of nature , to being able to see the notes play out before your eyes in colours that you have chosen is indeed magical !!! I have NEVER encountered such a uniquely thought out app that can captivate my attention for so long !!! I LOVE THIS APP !!! I hope to see more apps of this caliber from the developer !!

Little difficult to play but I love this!

Love this

Im still getting to know this app, but felt compelled to write up a quick review. I like the potential of what is here so far...a very "zen" way to play with and listen to music, unlike any other music app Ive used so far, and I have quite a few! The visuals are VERY impressive and compliment the music nicely, and so far I have found it easy to use. So far, I feel I am getting my moneys worth, and I look forward to spending much more time with the app to get to know it better. I certainly recommend getting it if you are into having fun with making your own music!

Years ago I constructed a real aeolian harp and I was curious if this app could have something todo with it. I may say, yes, in some way. The concept and the graphics are intuitive and inspiring. The sounds are also good (I was afraid about that) but too dry. I am missing lots of harmonics there because this is what an aeolian harp is all about ! I would suggest some more control about the sounds and some interesting spacy effects to match those really spacy graphics and filters to bring out harmonics. To be able to choose a scale, tonality or even atonality would help also a lot. I hope you can work on an update for that.

This app is WAY under the radar. I was hesitant to purchase as theres not many reviews BUT took a chance and WOW!! I mean, this really is a remarkable application. I already own a number of music & particle apps for iPad and have been pretty underwhelmed but THIS ... this truly stands apart. To begin with ... its visually stunning. You can easily save any and all creations. Beyond that though... its the way it looks... from the instant you touch it, theres an elegance about it that very artistic. Clearly, a lot of careful thought and design went into this app. Beyond that is the way it sounds (and the different instruments built in). Im not a musician but even I can create something nice with this - in seconds. Then theres the scales: 10 of them - Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Major Pentatonic, Minor Pentatonic, the list goes on! Sounded really good through the iPads speaker... so good, I nearly forgot to plugin my headphones (Audio Technica ATH-AD700). Took it to a whole new level. Far more than "just a harp"... it can instantly become a Sitar, Marimba, or Guitar too! Relaxing to play with, visually mind blowing. This app is absolutely a 5 Star app. Well worth the price. Dont hesitate...

Cant control or manipulate the color by touching screen. Better stuff out there

Waste of time and money.

Wow. For a music program, this is horrible. Its also a game?? Visualizations are good but this is completely useless if you wanted to make music of any kind. Waste of money.

Ive tried this app several times and Im still wondering what its purpose is. The instructions need to do a much better job of explaining what the purpose is, and how to make use of it. Is it a "music" generator? Is the purpose to create designs? Is there a way to repeat or store and replay the "music" sounds created? If I understood it, I might give it a higher rating. Perhaps Ive got a mental block because I was expecting it to be a "music" generator like the Bloom app with which Im familiar.

Nothing special. A waste of a $1.99.
