CelloPad

Hold a button and tilt your iPhone or iPad from side-to-side to play notes: two virtual cellists improvise a melody and bass, while you shape the tempo and expression. The faster you move, the louder the note. Each change in direction starts a new note, but you don’t need to know which notes to play: CelloPad improvises melodies, bass lines and chord progressions based on classical compositions like Bach’s Cello Suites. You can focus on how long and expressive every individual note is. It’s easy enough for anyone to play without any musical training, but it sounds deeply emotional, expressive, and professional. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Solo: one cellist alone. • Duo: a melody over a held bass note. • Contra: two independent melodic lines in counterpoint.
