iKoto

My favorite app of all time. Lots of fun and sounds good too.

I actually learned to play the koto in graduate school, though not as well as I'd have liked. The pitch bend always made me nervous because if you're not careful, you can make the tuning pieces fall over with a nerve-wracking clatter. No fear of that here!<br/><br/>The only suggestion I'd make concerns pitch bend. The default is one full tone up whereas sometimes it should be a semitone, depending on the tuning.

This is one of my favorite apps!

This instrument is truelly a sound of Asian Beauty. I am a music major in College and I have always favored the minor scales and the church modes, as well as the pent scale. I love this sound and now I can play whenever I want... It is a very emotional sound! Great Buy... I'm happy.^_^

I love this app. I'm an elementary music teacher and used it for the intro to a Chinese folk song in concert. The sound is wonderful, the playing interface is absolutely easy to use. I love the variety of the scales and it has made me learn more about various tunings or scales. You can record what you play and play it back easily. All that and it looks beautiful on the iPod Touch screen. I can't think of a single thing to make it better. Maybe develop some other instruments, such hammered dulcimer or something. A gong app would be awesome. Besides all that, the sound is soothing, just perfect for sitting around in the dentist's waiting room! Oh, I know, add a way to add ambient sounds like a fountain, or surf or the rustling leaves..... getting a little New Age-ish here. Look out Kitaro : )

1) Full iPhone 4 support.<br/><br/>Note: I will put five stars when I see the above updated.

This crashes every time I try to transfer a song on an iPod 4. Nice sound though.

So far my most favorite app since this is closest I can get to a real one since they cost a lot and haven't been made in years. I've noticed it's recommended to connect to desktop speakers to get the true sound.
