Consider this a kind of “virtual goods” classified ad.
My little start-up company (based in Montara) has just released our first product, Stealth Bee Jam for iPad and is available at the iTunes App Store. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stealth-bee-jam-for-ipad/id418451895?mt=8
Simply put, Stealth Bee Jam lets anyone, whether you have any musical background or not, play solo jams on songs ranging from blues, to pop, to rock (with more song on the way.) Each song features a background track and three lead instruments and each instrument provides buttons to play Riffs (a short burst of notes) and Single Notes. After starting the background track, you play your solos by pressing any combination of Riffs and Notes in real time. The application is designed to ensure that your riffs are always in sync with the beat and always in key with the song.
You can save your best jams for later playback, share them with friends, and even use them as soundtracks for your photo slideshows and videos.
The app comes with three songs: Inside Moves (Pop), Blue Spy (Blues), and Melt My World (Rock). Currently, one additional song is available for “In-App” purchase and we’re working on adding new songs to the selection.
And in the crazy world of iPad / iPhone apps, it’s only $2.99 US.
You can see sample iPad screens, listen to music samples, and watch a video of the app in action on our web site: http://stealthbee.com.
I invite you check it out and even if you don’t purchase, please feel free to provide your thoughts and feedback on the product concept and our website as we’re always trying to improve things.
Thanks.
