Report an issuePlay instruments with your voice in real time! Voice Band introduces a revolutionary new way to make music - with only your voice. Featured on G4TV’s Attack of the Show (with Olivia Munn).
* Imagine creating an entire song with only your voice. *
Just sing into your phone and hear Voice Band transform your voice into an instrument in real time. Voice Band doesn't simply alter your voice to sound like an instrument, it actually plays a real sampled instrument which follows what you sing. Want to jam to a guitar solo with your favorite band? Voice Band lets you play along with your ipod library, too.
Voice Band features a recorder which lets you build a song, one instrument at a time. Auto pitch mode helps you stay on key, and if you're a musician, you'll appreciate the adjustable scale and metronome. Voice Band also includes a built-in effects processor with distortion, reverb, and delay.
Whether you’re a musician looking to instantly capture an arrangement idea, or a music fan looking to make your own music for the first time, Voice Band will inspire and challenge you.

How the hell do I save audio into my library?
Freezes when you want to erase recording, doesn't save. Re-installs every time you try to open the app. For an app that wasn't free you should fix this.
IT'S A BERRY NICE APP, IF U HAVE ANY LITLE BIT OF TALENT, AND NEW IDEAS, IF U CAN BE ADAPTABLE, AN COCREATE A NEW WAY O MUSIC... WHATEVER U MADED... THIS APP IF FOR U.... A LAT % of the HUMANITY LIKES EVERYTHING EASY, OHHH YEAHH VERY EASY, JUST SAYN.... WUALLAAAA... AND THATS IT WITHOUT DOIN NATINIG... IF U THINGS LIKE THAT, THIS APP IS NAT FOR U....
Downloaded on my iPad and got the cello and the violin, the app doesn’t register that I bought them so I can not use them on my phone.
I would really like to be able to run a wav file through this app. Kind of pointless to re-sing something I’ve already sung if I don’t want to. Also what’s taking so long with either this app improving or competition coming out that has the same function? I first got the app in like early 2015 and the whole thing is dead in the water why is that?! I don’t have allot of money and this could really save me allot of time in some areas. Seriously, what’s the hold up?! Sometimes I feel that tech like this gets held back for some reason the general public is unaware of. Seriously, nobody wants to make any money on this concept?! It’s been like five years! This should be way more than what it is. That’s the truth.
The idea is great. App is total fun if you can sing.
Omg, I loved this app when I was 14 and now I'm 32. I wish it was still a thing!!
