Listen to our first teaser sound clip from our new app!

New App Teaser Clip

The sound clip is made from only two tracks: our new app, plus rhythm guitar.

We're working really hard to try to have it available before Christmas. One special feature we've already announced: this app will have Virtual MIDI!

Summertime

ORGAN+ is getting an update! We submitted it last night - a small bug fix and some improvements to the file management.

You've probably heard all about AirVox. We're really excited about this technology! We released it about a week and a half ago. Last week, AirVox was featured in Apple's New & Noteworthy in over 98 countries. In the next few weeks, we'll definitely be doing more AirVox videos and possibly a contest.


Right now we are working on a NEW MUSIC APP that is also very, VERY exciting! After that we have scheduled some updates to our existing apps. We definitely love to hear from users and listen to all input and ideas. If you have an idea or something you'd like to see in our existing apps, always feel free to e-mail us: support at yonac dot com

miniDrum PRO: Bundles Expo

We created this little tune that showcases almost every bundle that comes with miniDrum PRO. We thought it would be nice for new users to check out this sound file (instead of having to click on every bundle to learn what is what). We left comments letting you know which bundle is playing. All the effects were turned off for this clip. A reminder that miniDrum PRO also allows you to upload your own samples and mix all the samples in your bundle via the bundle editor.
