## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it print off music .**
A: The artiphon cant, you need software eg ipad to play it. I dont know but it might be theres software that stores what you play and that could be printed. Some software allows you to lay tracks eg drums, guitar etc one at a time to be a complete orchestra, thus may allow storing or printout. Check the capabilities of software apps eg "garageband" not the artiphon itself, its just a "dumb" but powerful instrument.

**Q: windows 10   is there anyway of making this instrument work with Windows software please?  I have the full version of Mixcraft**
A: Yes, it works fine with Windows 10 - that's what I am using. I haven't tried with Mixcraft, but it should work ok.

**Q: Can you only use it with IOS devices**
A: You can use it with any software or application that uses midi data.You just need the appropriate cable.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Defective product
*by C***G on 26 March 2021*

The media could not be loaded. Does not turn on after fully charged.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic
*by L***E on 7 January 2019*

Allows you to play any instrument you like as you would a guitar and have the midi blocks recorded into Ableton. You can strum an acoustic guitar, a sitar, or a grand piano.Before buying the instrument I hardly touched the guitar but wanted to learn in a way that was totally silent. I live in shared housing with very thin walls. I wanted to be able to play while the person in the room next to mine was asleep. Some say that you can do that with an electric guitar but this is a lot more portable.I didn't know how to play before I got the instrument but after a few guitar tutorials I was able to play along to various songs on the record.My first impression when trying the instrument was that I had made a mistake as it seemed to have a slightly... what's the word... neurotic? response. After doing some firmware updates and plugging it into my MacBook (The Windows software doesn't really work) it began to work a lot better. If you're an experienced guitar player this thing might seem like a quite alien experience but since I was learning to play on this instrument from square one it was fine for me.It's relatively easy on the fingers. Many years ago, when I was growing up, I very briefly tried to learn to play someone else's guitar (I'd forgotten everything since then) but I found the pain was limiting the amount of time I could spend practicing. With this you can play for pretty much however long you want even if your fingers aren't hardened. Despite it being soft to play my fingers have gradually hardened a bit anyway, but this was basically painless experience.I think it's a good thing to buy if you want something that's quite portable and allows you to adjust the notes you pick or strum.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple to start using, but potentially awesome (but complex) capability
*by B***B on 11 September 2019*

I bought for my son. Had to buy ipad as well for software but knew that when i ordered. PC software doesnt quite do it justice. Ipad software is often free but theres lots out there. Its also very portable.Whe i asked he said he found it easy to start to use but later realised its potentially a very complex instrument..He mainly used to play his guitar, but now he jams with artiphone at his mates. Now hes got guitar violin piand and drums!He loves it.. says so much fun and hes only scraped the surface of what he can do.
