Each iFretless app gives you the ability to play countless lead instruments (Brass, Horns, Guitar, Bass or ANY MIDI instrument) - All without having to learn keyboard! The sounds built into these apps are top notch! The flexibility to setup the number of frets and strings and the note offset between strings is a game-changer! Do you want to instantly apply your skills as a bassist or guitarist to ANY instrument? Would you like to perform a sax or trumpet solo from your virtual bass on the screen? Easy/peasy! Do you just want to play along with some tunes while you on the move? Piece of cake! Would you like to play a local or remote synthesizer from your familiar fretboard instrument? This is an essential app to help make that happen! I’ve wait for an instrument app like this for YEARS! For the lowest possible latency use wired headphones (but it works with Bluetooth headphones as well). Just TRY it!
Could really use these on macOS. Thanks.
To make for a great ever improving playing experience! If they add an option to include fret noises on their iFretless bass and guitar app, they would’ve successfully created the best software for emulating guitar expressiveness!!! Get the entire iFretless bundle and express on👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾...please add a subtle fret noise option. You guys are amazing!
I had to go to to the app support web site because the in app video you can access after pressing the question mark does not play. Aside from that the brass sounds are very realistic. I will have to get used to playing it like some kind of string instrument, I guess. Not sure how.
It works better after up date, thank you
I've had this for about a month and used it several times with different tunes. It's ended up being a waste of money for me. It's not great.
As with all "iFretless" apps, this one uses the excellent interface of the original. The sounds are very good, but a bit lacking in the staccato, burst, and solo departments. In other words, iFretless Brass is great for swells, pads, and symphonic applications.
I'm a professional musician, interested in composing great songs with great instruments. Like the other instrument apps by iFretless, iFretless Brass is very expressive, emotional and sounds realistic. Worth every penny! Make sure to check out all of this app designers music apps. -Simply excellent. -AprilRox Studios, LLC
Keep it up sounds great
At first I was somewhat razzed that the instruments in this app could not just be included with iFretless Sax, I soon knew the joy of using them side by side. I had done this before with the guitar and bass apps from this developer back in the days before Audiobus 2 and IAA. It was fun back then and even more fun now. Brass had always been one of my least favorite sounds in the realm of electronic instrumentation. Not the case with iFretless; it is executed very well and I can't seem to get enough. With the addition of the more bass-heavy sounds here I know this one will be lurking around in many of my constructions to come. Good job. Five stars on all four iFretless instruments!
