Handpan

I had hoped from reading the reviews, that this would be the ultimate handpan simulator app. The sound is terrible on it though. The clip noise at the beginning of each note tone is so distracting and just sounds awful. I like the option to record, but it just sounds like clicking and a bit of handpan because the note tones are a mess.

I’ve tried several different handpan/hang drum apps, and this is by far the best, with the fullest feature set. It’s the only one I’ve seen that creates different tones when striking between the marked areas, just like a real handpan. And I love that I can record a basic track, then play that back and play along to it. It would be great if I could keep doing this: record this new double track and play along to create yet another track, and so on, so that I could easily multitrack a song. Only other wish is for additional drums with different tunings (Celtic, Asian, Middle Eastern, etc.)

Just what I was looking for. When my bluetooth speaker arrives, I think I will be able to create the atmospheric sound of the original instrument without spending $2,000. What would make it perfect would be the ability to tune it to different keys and scales, such as E-flat minor pentatonic or Celtic Bm. Then you could hand someone your Ipad and have them tap along while you play another instrument.

This app handles faster play styles better than the others in the store. Inorganic splices in the audio files were minimal. The drums have a pleasant character to their tones and I love the attention to detail where different sounds can be found by exploring outside of the predefined zones of the drum surface.

It’s unplayable. After a few seconds it can’t keep up and starts stuttering. This happens every single time. It’s a real shame too, because it sounds nice and has some very cool effects. However, I wouldn’t waste your money on this app. At least not on this version.
