OMGuitar is the best mobile guitar emulation ever created. It is a synthesizer with unique interface and new-generation sound hybrid engine that allows anyone to produce realistic guitar sounds.

OMGuitar is very playable and truly expressive. It responds to the speed of your strumming, catching the emotion of your melody. The quality of the sound is so high that it can easily be used in studio work as a quick method to produce realistic rhythm and arpeggio guitar tracks.

True guitar simulation on the touch-screen device is now possible thanks to the advanced artificial intelligence algorhythm that analyzes your style of playing and alters the sound accordingly.

OMGuitar features a truly mindblowing ergonomic interface. It is supposed to be played with iPad being held in a special way, placed between the laps. This comfortable position lets both hands operate freely, choosing chords and strumming strings. For newbies and keyboardists, it might be easier to define chords with the right hand and strum with the left hand, but it might be the other way for the guitarists.

There is a dedicated string-picking/arpeggio interface, represented as a column of 6 buttons, which can easily be played together with the string strumming interface. Note bend effect is achieved by swiping the button area.

The strings themselves respond to the speed of strumming and the distance between themselves and the initial screen tap. The player is supposed to strum with one finger and place the second finger on the guitar at any time for muting all the strings. With such approach, many common guitar playing techniques can be easily accomplished.

OMGuitar employs an absolutely new way of choosing chords called CH#RD. More than 300 chords are basically at the fingertips. Only one finger is needed to play all the common chords, such as Minor, 7th, Major 7th, power chords, 6th chords, diminished or suspended. For more special chords, one more finger is needed. In total, there is access to 23 chord variations per every root note, which is more than enough for any song.

OMGuitar can remember some of the chords in the 7 assignable “quick-chord” containers at the very top of the chord screen.

Some of the world’s best and most expensive guitar models have been sampled with great precision and act as the source for the synthesis engine. There are 6 completely different playable guitars, 3 acoustic and 3 electric. The tone can be further shaped with the 3-band equalizer.

OMGuitar has 10 built-in effects with over 50 presets: 2 types of Distortion, Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Wah-wah, Vowel filter, Compressor, Tremolo.

Following on from the equally unique prismatic electronic musical instrument, moxMatrix, developer Mode of Expression, has released noteplex which is said to offer a new and unique way for everyone to create and experience music, by creating it visually.  We’ll let them explain -

The music happens before your eyes. A plex consists of a network of nodes. Each node has a tone associated with it. When a pulse hits a node, nodes create pulses. The resulting chain reaction creates a noteplex song!

* Multisampled instruments and synths: Three complete drumkits — a Rhodes-like piano — multiple bass sounds — lead synths — strings — and more! Add your own samples to create an even more unique noteplex.

* Online sharing of plexes: Share your best work online and explore what other noteplexers are creating. Favorite your faves and see what’s getting attention.

* A natural interface: Zoom, drag, draw, edit. The editing panels can even be minimized so you can enjoy the display your creations make. noteplex lets you focus on creating.

Everything from drum loops to “Happy Birthday” to extended compositions can be created with noteplex. This radically different paradigm for music will push you to new and unexpected places creatively — and it’s fun, too!
