* Built-in MIDI music synthesizer lets you listen at any speed you'd like
* Customizable settings let you fine-tune how Etude shows and plays back music
* Access hundreds of songs of all genres and styles and download them instantly to your personal library to play as often as you like.

* Social networking features let you share the music you're learning with your friends via Facebook and Twitter.
* View in depth metadata about music, including composer, arranger, year published, and links to further reading on sites like Wikipedia.
* Connects with the iTunes Music Store to point you at professional performances of the piece you're trying to master



Etude will cost $2.99 for a one week introductory special. After that, it will cost $9.99. 
The company also said that Etude for iPad is already in development.



Reason for iPad - Too good to be true?

According to the latest CM magazine as they spoke to Propelerhead CEO Ernst Nathorst-Boos there might be a possibility they are going to develope iPad version of Reason as "iPad is at least as powerful computer as the ones we started making software for back in 90s. And that's pretty exicting!"
( iPad -1GHz Apple A4 processor )

So gimme a Reason for not buying iPad then....

 CM also spoke to some iPhone/iPod music app developers and in the nearest future we should expect not only iPad version of bleep!Box but also technoBox ( they have already a prototype ) and iSyn !

Hexagonal Keyboard theory and practice

I found Hex Keys very educational. Always wanted to try hexagonal keyboard. This little iphone app can really give you an idea and feeling what it is all about. Very educational.
Of course i hope for ipad vesrion as on iphone u can not really have full potential of hexagonal table.
And pls midi support so i could play with my favorite sampler/synth plugins on the computer.
Here are some info taken from a great midi controller site Axis -64 pro  which after trying this app I am considering buying ( or wait for ipad and Hex Keys pro)
