WaveMachine Labs has announced Voice Band 1.0 for the iPhone. Voice Band turns your voice into a musical instrument, allowing you to create complete songs by simply singing a melody into your iPhone. A built-in recorder lets you create songs one instrument at a time. Voice Band works in real time as you sing, and includes ten instruments: two electric guitars, bass, saxophone, two synthesizers, organ and drums.

Voice Band also allows you to jam along with your favorite tunes in your iPod library. The first app of its kind to work in real time, Voice Band uses sophisticated pitch and timing algorithms derived from WaveMachine Labs' flagship drum replacer product, Drumagog. Additional features include a built-in effects processor with reverb, delay and distortion, auto pitch correction with multiple key signatures and scales, and a metronome. Voice Band is especially powerful as a song writing aid, allowing musicians to sing song ideas directly into the phone and hear those ideas come alive as real instruments.

"Look Ma, no Hands!"
Voice Band eliminates the traditional problem of playing an instrument on a small, cramped screen. "We believe singing is a natural way to input music into a mobile device" says Rim Buntinas, founder of WaveMachine Labs. "Everyone has a voice".

Pricing and Availability:
Voice Band 1.0 is only $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category.
