Grantophone: An instrument for your phone.
- j2labs 15y agoThis is one of the coolest presentations I've seen at Hack & Tell.
- apgwoz 15y agoThis is available for windows phones as well as iOS. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/grantophone/id476003757?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/grantophone/id476003757?mt=8
- davidbalbert 15y agoI just watched the author's tutorial video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKJC6cqdGdE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKJC6cqdGdE). It's clear that he's a musician. It's fascinating when people with a deep expertise in another subject can also write code. Makes me wish I had a deep understanding of some other field.

- chimeracoder 15y agoYes, Grant is a very talented cellist (he's currently studying at Julliard).
- evlapix 15y agoI can't believe I never thought to do this myself. I have always wanted a Kaossilator. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3_yXmIfmYg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3_yXmIfmYg
- morganpyne 15y agoNever heard of a Kaossilator before; it looks like great fun, and more to the point it lends itself completely to being an iDevice app. Hope somebody ports it asap!
- watmough 15y agoBoom! http://www.korg.com/ikaossilator http://www.korg.com/ikaossilator
- grantkot 15y agoHi, so I created this app and here is a more recent video showing the user interface in the current version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paFiugtZeik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paFiugtZeik Also, there are a lot of features that I will be working on adding. I started this project without much experience in audio programming (I had an idea for something I wanted to make and decided to go for it and I'm learning as I'm going) so until now I have mostly been researching and planning. Development will be picking up now and I will be adding much more control and customization.
- mrdavidjcole 15y agoSaw this presented at the most recent NYC Lean Startup Machine. Grant is one creative son of a gun. I'm very excited to see this app evolve (and get onto Android).
- daeken 15y agoJust bought it and it's very, very cool. The one thing I'd change (or make an option for) is making the notes continuous rather than discrete -- if I slide my finger over, it would be great to have it cleanly transition between the notes. Great work so far!
- grantkot 15y agoThanks. Yes, originally I had also wanted it to be continuous. I settled on discrete pitches to make it a little easier to pick up. I will be adding sliders and stuff so you can change the tuning parameters as well as the other other parameters.
- iansimon 15y agoMy favorite thing about this is that he's extremely good at playing it. I also have an instrument app that allows for continuous pitch + autotuning (http://www.iansimon.org/fingrophone/ http://www.iansimon.org/fingrophone/), but his looks like it allows for way more expressivity.
- Geee 15y agoNo videos demoing fingrophone?
- FiddlerClamp 15y agoMost interesting...I wonder what the author's reasoning was for developing for Windows Phone?
- grantkot 15y agoI've actually been a C#/XNA guy for a really long while so it was easier for me to develop for WP7 first. But it is also available on iOS now.
- FiddlerClamp 15y agoThanks for replying.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoVery disappointed to find out that's a Sammy WP7 and not an Android. Wish I could buy it!
- grantkot 15y agoSorry, I am trying my best to get it out on Android as soon as possible. There is a minor snag I've run into and trying to figure out.
