ABOUT THE INTERFACE
iTrump is modeled after the real Trumpet and is designed to allow play purely by touch with maxmium agility and minimum coordination between left and right hand.

Theres an open pad for left thumb, and three valve pads which correspond to trumpet valves 1, 2, and 3 and drop 2, 1, and 3 half-steps, respectively. The vertical divisions are based on the harmonic series and what you would play if you slurred continuously all the way up or down for a given valve combination. For open, this would be C G C E G (Bb) C, etc. (The Bb partial is currently left out).

Pros and cons of iTrump - '2-inch Trumpet' with Trumpad app for iPhone and iPad

iTrump - '2-inch Trumpet' with Trumpad app good for

Wish this had a reverb and a Harmon mute option. I want to sound like miles.
The app is a lot of fun, and all trumpet players should get it. It would benefit from more range in the upper register.

Some bad moments

I love the way it is set up, as now I have a much better understanding of how the trumpet works. Having never played the trumpet, I first used the roboTrump and was able to see how to play the songs. Then I tried playing along with the songbook. I love the rainbow color coded notes. It really helps to anticipate which keys I am supposed to press. After a few tries I really started to get the hang of it. The video was also helpful to show me how to position my fingers. Great fun!
This is an amazing trumpet app, although Ill never say that its better than the iBone (Im a trombone player). I wouldnt even think twice about pushing the "buy app" button! Its amazingly fun too wether you know anything or nothing you can have tons of fun. I expect more awesome instruments instruments from you Spoonjack! :)
I have been a trumpet player for going on 20 years and have played and owned all the brands and all the styles at one point in time. When I saw this application I have to say I was a little apprehensive; but for the price I thought why not. Probably one of the best app purchases Ive made to date. Not only does it allow you to work simultaneous fingerings but a slight wiggle on a valve and you can adjust the pitch. Definetly has my approval and I urge any true lovers of the trumpet to take the plunge and buy it as well; itll keep ya occupied between sessions. Would have gave it 5/5 but Im holding out with just a 4/5 with the hope that the developer will provide an update with one more octave higher. With an additional octave up I would have gave it a 5 and prolly even paid another dollar.
This is a cool app even tho Im a guitarist and I dont play the trumpet its still alot of fun
Okay app. Ive played for 16 years and was excited to try, even given the higher price. Cant seam to find low C.
Its ok but its hard to play if you dont really know how to play.
