You get over 40 high-quality real instruments multi-sampled exclusively for this app. Hundreds of included scales allow you to effortlessly play in any style from rock to classical, whether you are a musical novice or a seasoned professional. ---====--- Jordan Rudess, the world-renowned keyboardist for Dream Theater says: "ThumbJam stands at the very top of the overcrowded music app world. The sounds included absolutely rival those found in pro instruments and making music on the app is a total joy. The only problem I have with this app is that I did not make it myself! Luckily, I'm able to work with the developer and offer a few good feature ideas as well as some choice sounds from my personal collection!" ---======---- Even if you've only played air guitar, ThumbJam lets you sound like a pro. Pick an instrument and jam -- with all the scales to choose from you'll never hit a wrong note. The high quality instrument samples will make you sound like you just skipped years of music lessons. For the performing musician, this app is awesome for soloing on an instrument you didn't bring along. Play in any key, any style -- go from a string ensemble to a wailing guitar. ThumbJam was developed and tested by musicians to feel and sound like a real instrument. You'll be surprised at how expressive it can be, make sure to check out the videos and audio at thumbjam.com. ThumbJam makes use of tilt and shake to add vibrato, tremolo, note bends, and volume swells for more realistic and expressive results. It supports up to five (eleven on iPad) simultaneous touches and up to 32 voice polyphony, for each of up to 8 loaded instruments! Delay and stereo reverb add depth to the sound, and a resonant lowpass filter gives you more tone shaping power. Put on your headphones or plug in to your home stereo to experience some of the highest quality instruments in the App Store, even after all these years! Build your own loops from the ground up or import your favorites and jam from there. Layer as many loops as you want, with different instruments for each. Export your loops as audio files via WiFi. Copy and paste audio from other apps using AudioCopy/Paste as well the general pasteboard, via email, AudioShare, iTunes Document Sharing, Files, or open directly in another application. Supports Audiobus and InterApp Audio for streaming sound to/from other apps in real-time, including state save/restore with Audiobus 3. Extensive MIDI input and output support over WiFi or Bluetooth, with any CoreMidi compatible device, or other apps on the same iOS device with virtual MIDI.

New powerful arpeggiator feature lets you play patterns with perfect time sync, from the screen or via MIDI control. The app includes a huge variety of scales, from western to eastern.

Enjoying the app and looking forward to using it in a band setting, but I just can’t figure out why there’s no option for the grid to be laid out like a piano keyboard with ‘white’ notes and ‘black’ notes, especially when using a chromatic scale. The shaded tonic, dominant and subdominant (do you know how long it took me to figure out why they were shaded?!?) make sense for some situations, but when I need to quickly move between A3 and A4, the easiest way for me to recognise the notes is always going to be on a piano keyboard (hint: the shaded ‘black’ keys could still run the full length of the grid, they don’t need to be shorter). Yes, I could connect to a midi keyboard, but I actually need the x-axis controls offered on the iPad screen for volume and velocity. I’m also struggling with shifting between octaves or adjusting the span when I have the screen split to multiple instruments - I can only move one instrument at a time, but I need them both to move. I can’t seem to link/lock them so they move together. To add to my frustration, the only way I seem to be able to ~select~ the other instrument to be able to adjust it’s span and octave seems to be to tap a note in that instrument, which PLAYS A SOUND. If I’m trying to adjust, you can bet your boots I don’t want to be making sound. So yeah, great app, but could use just a couple more tweaks to make it really useful and user friendly. -- cow_zone, 2022-03-17 ### ***** "Incredible!" I’ve been using this app and loving it for a few years now and thought I’d best thank the developers with a review! Thanks for continuing to provide updates!! I often use Thumbjam sounds through a midi sequencer app - the sample quality in Thumbjam is extraordinary and there is such a great variety of traditional instruments to use. But where Thumbjam truly shines is when it is played as an instrument. The expression that can be achieved through tilting the iPad etc. is astounding. This app is a must have! -- Communicatrium, 2019-10-09 ### ***** "This is simply very cool." I love it. I often use it on my phone whilst walking the dogs. The sounds are great - check out the steel guitar - and by setting up the thumb pad keyboards correctly you can improvise in any key with harmonies. It also sounds great when recorded into a larger track. -- Sejmusic, 2019-09-07 ### **--- "Astonishingly bad" Where to even start? You cannot edit loops, you cannot quantise , the buttons are minuscule, you cannot pause individual loops, there are no chord pads, control surfaces are resized when you exit/re-enter the app, the metronome may also change, you cannot set global prefs for all instruments, .... this is but a brief summary of the myriad flaws. On the plus side it makes a half-decent controller. Now all I need is a looping app. -- dearL0rd, 2018-08-14 ### ***** "Excellent app" This is a great app for non-keyboard players. I use this for both live playing and recording. One of the beauties is that hitting a wrong note is often not noticed as it is still in the right key. It also makes improvising very easy. Makes me sound a lot more professional than I am. -- Buttonjock, 2018-08-04 ### ****- "Excellent" Just one of the most amazing way to play haunting music , a wonderful way to learn you talents. -- Mentone a, 2014-04-25 ### ***** "Amazing" Must have music making app- deep and powerful but also immediately satisfying -- Rayhor, 2013-11-26 ### ****- "Landscape!" I love the diversity and quality of patches, but boy, you gotta do a landscape mode! -- glamnesia, 2013-01-24 ### ***** "Excellent App!" I'm an Electric Guitar geek and this app is excellent. The background beats are excellent and I use this a lot. Well done! I highly recommend for those guys into guitars and solo practice. I use this a lot. The record feature is a hoot as well. Excellent stuff!! -- Peter_Instigator, 2012-12-22 ### ***** "Excellent" Audiobus support just made this even better -- Boeye, 2012-12-12 ### ***** "Amazing Sounds & Incredible Features!" This machine really has everything covered. From the highest quality sounds to amazing expression, and even a loop recorder. But then you also get very comprehensive midi capabilities and full recording functionality. Also the importing and exporting options are very complete, which just makes everything possible. The effects are powerful and the expressive capabilities really do make this a real instrument that is amazing to play. There is also a great range of scales for choosing your own specific tonal flavor. This really is a comprehensive machine, just look at the features above and you'll realize this is really a necessity for music creation. -- Trasswoman, 2012-06-02 ### ***** "Must Buy, especially for composing with multiple apps" The best thing I have found about this app, apart from the great quality sampled instruments, is the background audio feature. Thumbjam is the only app I have which consistently plays background audio. This is huge for composing in multiple apps. For example, if you create a pattern in korg ims20 and want to be able to hear that pattern whilst composing another layer for the track in sunrizer synth, you simply copy the pattern from korg and paste into thumbjam, minimize thumbjam and it will keep playing when you go to sunrizer. This works with many different apps. A tip, if you do this make sure you start all the apps first and then switch between them with multitasking. -- marmater, 2011-09-19 ### ***** "5 star app!" I have a lot of music apps and Thumbjam stands head and shoulders above them all. I am a musician and find this an excellent composition aid and source for inspiration / experimenting with sound. Very intuitive and sounds great. 5 Stars! -- kenyoungmusic.com, 2011-04-11 ### ***** "Worth every penny..." I've seen a couple of small quirks, but nothing that could stop this amazing app from deserving the full five stars. If you like music, buy it. It really is something special. -- r10k, 2010-09-30 ### ***** "A must have app for beginners to professional musicians" WOW !! What a powerful app. Effective, user friendly, and realistic instrument sounds & bends / pitches. I'm a musician for the past 18 years, from live gigs to recording studio work, and this app has just made my work so much easier. I will defiantly use this on stage live. I've tried many apps, but Thumb Jam takes #1 on the list. Good work Thumb Jam team !! -- Jerry Tsitas, 2010-09-02 ### ***-- "Cool app" Just one thing I'm Greek and the Bouzouki does not sound like that it sounds a bit dull should be more of a high pitch sound Where Is The Bouzouki I Bought This For That Reason. -- Georgie T, 2010-05-15 ### ****- "Wow" Best sound/music app ever. Very flexible, customisable, and fun. Some minor bugs with loops and some interface tweaks required but a solid app overall. Thank you! -- loneproxy, 2010-03-02 [View all ThumbJam reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## ThumbJam Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | Music | #52 | | Top Paid | Israel | Music | #53 | | Top Paid | Kuwait | Music | #54 | | Top Paid | South Korea | Music | #55 | | Top Paid | Pakistan | Music | #56 | | Top Paid | Portugal | Music | #57 | | Top Paid | Argentina | Music | #57 | | Top Paid | Finland | Music | #58 | | Top Paid | Lebanon | Music | #59 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Music | #60 | | Top Paid | Denmark | Music | #62 | | Top Paid | Ireland | Music | #65 | | Top Paid | Greece | Music | #67 | | Top Paid | Singapore | Music | #74 | | Top Paid | Norway | Music | #79 | | Top Paid | Türkiye | Music | #80 | | Top Paid | Indonesia | Music | #82 | | Top Paid | Egypt | Music | #83 | | Top Paid | Romania | Music | #83 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Music | #85 | | Top Paid | Algeria | Music | #85 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Music | #88 | | Top Paid | Peru | Music | #89 | | Top Paid | Taiwan | Music | #89 | | Top Paid | Australia | Music | #91 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Music | #92 | | Top Paid | Italy | Music | #93 | | Top Paid | India | Music | #98 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Music | #99 | | Top Paid | Czechia | Music | #99 | | Top Paid | Chile | Music | #102 | | Top Paid | Netherlands | Music | #104 | | Top Paid | Spain | Music | #104 | | Top Paid | Brazil | Music | #105 | | Top Paid | Malaysia | Music | #105 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Music | #106 | | Top Paid | Poland | Music | #111 | | Top Paid | France | Music | #112 | | Top Paid | Canada | Music | #115 | | Top Paid | Philippines | Music | #119 | | Top Paid | Switzerland | Music | #126 | | Top Paid | Thailand | Music | #126 | | Top Paid | Mexico | Music | #128 | | Top Paid | Austria | Music | #131 | | Top Paid | Russia | Music | #136 | | Top Paid | Saudi Arabia | Music | #170 | | Top Paid | Kazakhstan | Music | #174 | | Top Paid | Japan | Music | #189 | | Top Paid | China | Music | #190 | | Top Paid | Germany | Music | #212 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Music | #216 | | Top Paid | Belarus | Music | #218 | | Top Paid | Vietnam | Music | #224 | | Top Paid | Dominican Republic | Music | #241 | | Top Paid | Ecuador | Music | #248 | | Top Paid | Ukraine | Music | #251 | | Top Paid | Azerbaijan | Music | #296 | | Top Paid | Finland | Overall | #446 | | Top Paid | United States | Music | #462 | ## ThumbJam Discovered Keywords -
