Hi y’all,
Here’s a preview of my upcoming iPhone/iPod Touch virtual drones/regulators app, based on my Kirk Lynch 3/4 set:

Currently in beta test phase, will be releasing to the iTunes App store in the near future.
Cheers,

I would get an iphone just to do that 
Brilliant !
Any chance of a WinMo version? I’m stuck with verizon for a while…
Here’s a live demo of 3QuarterSet 1.0 using my Benedict Koehler chanter in a practice set configuration, with the iPhone on a foam block attached via a velcro wrap around my leg:

Exactly my thoughts. Great idea, Michael. No warbling, no tuning issues - and you save several grands and weight. You could buy an iphone for each pitch. Hmmm… Michael, distance between keys is much smaller than with a real set, right? How do you cope with that. And do the sounds of amplified drones/regs an unamplified chanter mix well?
dude that rocks well done.

For those not in the cult of Apple, Kenneth McNicholl has a similar Flash movie on his site.

There is part of me that stands in complete awe at what you’ve accomplished and then there’s part of me that thinks he must be destroyed.
That is amazing.
wow.
Well done.

Eric, can I quote you on the iTunes App Store description, that’s great!
When will it be available? I would definitely pick that up…

Why should 3QuarterSet be limited to just Uilleann pipers? Here’s a demo using a Bb/F Anglo Concertina…

So now you’ll need to include a bottle of screen cleaner for toe prints, and a pedicure kit.
I have a few people beta testing it now. I hope to have it on the iTunes App Store by Christmas, all depends on the Apple approval process and how it goes in beta.
Just to be clear, you don’t need an iPhone to use the program, an iPod Touch also works quite nicely, and the second generation Touch has a built in speaker. Most likely, either would be best used plugged into an external amp.
I take it these regs and drones are available without the obligatory 10+ year wait 
Seriously though, nice work, well done
i dont know, i have herd theese i-phones can be very slow loading apps sometimes!
great idea, well implemented!
Here’s a slow aire:

Amazing. This could be useful for people with practice sets who either can’t afford or are waiting for drones and regs, and having the drones will help beginners learn how to play the chanter in tune.
Is it possible to get any of the diagonal chords, or do you just have the cross chords?
Since someone was recently talking about a C&F prize, I’d like to nominate Michael for one for everything else he’s done to help people learn uilleann pipes and Irish traditional music in general. Over the years I’ve e-mailed Michael questions about things brought up on the Forum and he has always been very helpful, courteous and quick in his replies. I’ve purchased two of the things that he’s talked about on the Forum – a Peterson V-SAM tuner and Transcribe software – and they have helped me a lot in this endeavor. Congratulations and thanks again!
