JamUp Pro is a fantastic, easy to use app.
In conjunction with the JamUp Plug I reviewed last month, Positive Grid have provided me a copy of their premiere guitar amp and effects modeling iOS app, JamUp Pro.
JamUp Pro is one of the newest guitar apps to appear in the iTunes app store, and it has really taken off with a bang. With 6 multi-stage amp models and 14 studio grade effects available from the launch date, and more to come according to Positive Grid, it is great value at $19.99.
The JamUp Plug is a great little iOS interface at a great price.
Nowadays there are a range of instrument interfaces available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. With so many available, and a wide range of prices and connectivity it can be hard to work out which one is best for you. Most connect through the headphone jack of your iOS device, and they all provide an audio connection for your guitar or bass with varying degrees of success.
One of the latest players in the iOS instrument interface is Positive Grid, with their JamUp Plug. Like many of the other interface manufacturers Positive Grid have their own iOS app to use with the JamUp Plug – JamUp Lite and JamUp Pro. I’ll be reviewing JamUp Pro soon. (more…)

Rock Prodigy, like Guitar Hero, but for real guitar playing.
Having just read about the demise of the Guitar Hero franchise this week I thought it would be apt to review a new iOS app called Rock Prodigy. This free application works on iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad, and is a guitar teaching app/game that works much like Guitar Hero, but you use a real guitar instead. You can purchase songs by many different artists for a few dollars a track, or basic guitar exercises for around a dollar (prices depending on your location). Songs and exercises are rated by difficulty too, so it will make it easier for people to pick songs at their skill level.
Rock Prodigy is much like Guitar Hero, except you use a real guitar, and play real notes to trigger the guitar parts of the song, and score points. A timeline is shown in a tablature type format, with the notes you need to play scrolling across the screen. Play the correct note or chord as it crosses the “Play line” and the guitar part in the song will play for you. (more…)
