Gangsa App Comments & Reviews
Gangsa Positive Reviews
GreatGreat job. Love this app Can u make a good Tibetan singing bowl app or those hanging chimes with the nice deep sound. Not the high pitched chime. Reverb is imporant. I think that's what. It's called. U did that with this app very well as the sound continues even after u hit it. Like that lingering sound as it's good for meditating.Version: 2.0.0
Yay for Gamelan AppsGreat app! Striking and dampening the keys works like a charm! This app is what it is... you get one gangsa to play with... Sound quality is good. What this program leaves me wanting ..... is first of all: different tunings .... this app could be GREATLY enhanced with the different tunings of the various sets; more gamelan instruments to choose from would also be a plus.... but this app is great to play with and to get the sound in ones ears! TY for providing this for gamelan enthusiast!.Version: 0

Finally, gamelan for the iPhone!I have been waiting for some time for this app to appear in the iTunes store after seeing it in action on YouTube. This is a real sampled 5-key gangsa instrument from a Balinese gamelan, and it's a lot of fun to play! I have played gamelan for nearly a decade, and this app plays pretty much like the real thing. Great concept and implementation, with beautiful sounds. Keep up the great work, Masayuki! Selamat!.Version: 0
