Tunerだけですか？

日本語は大学で勉強していたので中級の日本語を読めます。だから興味がありました。

#62

The page is available in Finland. I wonder what the filtering is based on.

Google translate seems to have a problem with it though due to the page’s structure. Quite ironic :slight_smile:

#63

Yes, this is only tuner.

Perhaps you already might know,

Only in Iphone,

we have tsugaru jamisen game.

Oyama MItsugu, my sensei, record it.

Yatagarasu san > thank you for letting me know,

If you have some trouble of the link above, let me know! I really appreciate it.

When I teach shamisen class, there are many students who can’t practice shamisen because they are busy. So I wish we had an app that we can practice shamisen with only app , no shamisen.

#65

I started getting into app design . . . :slight_smile:

so far I am struggling a bit to grasp an overview of the very basics of the architecture as it seems you need to understand a lot about that before trying anything would actually make any serious sense so to speak . . . android java using the aide app it shall be for now and I hope to get a first (unrelated with bachido though) retro style widget app done by august or so . . . a teaser website though is already online . . . :slight_smile:

Toshi there are 2 apps that I know of that allow you to practice shamisen, the 1st is Aibiki which isn’t great on a phone but ok on a tablet. There is also a second one which i think is better, not great but better called 三味線, they are only available on android as far as i know.

#67

But must the app contain all bachido features (forum, blog, lessons…)?
Ah, I’m Sakura…

#68

Well it is not a bachido app containing all or a lot of any kind of features but it is about shamisen and all so yeah there is a post about it at Cheers . . . :slight_smile:

#69

Ah, so it’s an app for shamisen… There are few!

#70

yes it’s a virtual shamisen sao app for android phones called shamisen player and you can already find it on google play also by simply searching for shamisen there . . . as I understand you are blind from a comment you made in another forum post : when you start the app the virtual sao screen with a lot of buttons to play notes is loaded immediately and ready to play. under the virtual sao is an additional row of buttons for some additional sounds and the last button in the low right corner leads to another page of the app with only some greetings and basic information text so in case you hit that button by accident you can also get back to the action screen by touching the general back button of your phone . . .

Years ago a friend of mine downloaded on her phone (Samsung) an app called perfect piano, where she could download all instrument she wanted. I didn’t have a phone :slight_smile:
I have an iPhone, because this kind of phone is more accessible for blind people and all blind I know use iPhones

#72

Do you have any concepts put together? I’ve got a couple of apps that I’ve written and I think I can help. I would be more help on the code side though, I’m not much for making it look pretty haha! I’m actually the one who wrote the Misawa DSN Converter that everyone uses on base

#73

What’s the Misawa etc etc?

#74

I hope this app can be accessible for all platforms

#75

Let me updated!

#76

Hey I’m a Web Developer with 8 years experience. Don’t mind lending a little hand :slight_smile: I don’t play Shamisen YET, but I’m taking a trip to Katoh san in April :slight_smile:

Hi Charlie!
Your participation would be most appreciated!
Gosh, this project idea was started about 4 years ago and hasn’t really gone anywhere. :wink: (BH has developed a few shamisen-based apps over the years though) While we all know an app would be great, lack of a unified idea or team leader has been the main things holding back it’s progress.

Any thoughts of what could make the Bachido experience easier with an app? Possibly an app for the forum?

#78

What do we want to achieve out of the app?

What features do we want it to have mainly?

It would be good to just get out an MVP and then add to it as it progresses.

#79

Karl, Jazz, Calvin, Patrick, BH (and others), any thoughts?

#80

For a mobile App? That’s a tough question to be perfectly honest.

Personally, I’d add a bunch of helper tools:

  • Tuner
  • Scale viewers
  • Progressions
  • Chords (when doing Reigen Fujii like stuff)
  • Metronome
  • Integration with Bachido.com
    • Forums
    • Schoolhouse/Lessons
  • Play along stuff
  • Maybe a newsletter area?

On my spare time, I’ve been slowly working on a new Shamisen Composer and Scale Viewer. Though I doubt anyone knows the technologies I’m using for that (Scala and ScalaJS w/ React). But a Composer wouldn’t be THAT good on a mobile device imho.
