Hohner Cajun Mini SqueezeBox for iPhone/iPod Touch
Hohner Cajun SqueezeBox for iPad
Hohner announces the introduction of an amazing new app for the iPhone and iPad: The Hohner Cajun SqueezeBox.
Exactly matching the layout of Hohner's new Cajun IV diatonic accordion in the key of C, this intuitive virtual accordion app feature a super responsive, one-row fingerboard that plays and sounds like the traditional instrument.
Both the treble and bass/chord sides of the instrument are emulated.
Both apps play in the most common key of C. The iPad version also adds the ability to play in the additional keys of Bb, A, D, and G.
The Hohner Cajun SqueezeBox app allows musicians to practice chord combinations, scales, and songs on-the-go. Headphones can be used for private practice, or the audio output of the virtual accordion can be amplified by plugging into computer speakers, or other sound enhancing devices.
With the touch of a button, the tonality can be changed from a "Dry" three-reeds-per-note (LMH) sound to a "Wet" four-reeds-per-note (LMMH) sound. (iPad version only. iPhone version is LMMH only)
To play, simply touch the buttons. This type of accordion plays different notes on the push or pull of the bellows. To switch between bellows push and pull, just touch anywhere in bellows or bass side. Touch to switch to push notes, lift to switch to pull notes.
When playing the bass-side buttons, you can touch between the buttons to operate the bellows.
Switch on the Reverb for a big space filling sound! Switch it off if you want to run the app through your own external effects. (iPad only, reverb is always enabled in the iPhone version)
This app is ideal for the beginning student or professional musician who needs a simple carry-on companion to compliment his or her actual accordion. While not meant to be a replacement for a real accordion, the app is a convenient and easy tool for practicing, learning, or teaching.
