Smule
Ocarina is the first true musical instrument created for the iPhone. Both experts and beginners will be amazed by this innovative player. Ocarina is sensitive to your breath, touch and movements, making it even more versatile than the original. Unlike other musical applications, there are no pre-compiled riffs so musicians will find unlimited opportunities for self-expression. Advanced options allow you to choose between diatonic, minor and harmonic scales. Or channel your favorite video game adventurer with Smule's Zeldarian mode.

What's New
Version 1.4.2:
- Touch 4 users: Added message explaining mic location on iPod Touch 4. The Touch 4 mic is the tiny hole located next to your camera. Due to its location, the mic is not able to pick up your breath if you do not directly blow into it, it's very different than recording your voice. So the app rotates to the most optimal playing position with correct fingerings so that you can have the best results when blowing into your mic.
- iPhone 4 users: Fixed problem where mic was too quiet.

Easy to play notes from online songsheets will have even the novice musician cranking out tunes to the delight and awe of those around. Just a lot of fun!
