Shakie is an expressive motion controlled percussion instrument for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Imagine having a box you can throw things into and then shake them to make sounds. Thats Shakie!
When you tilt or shake your iOS device, Shakies on-screen pellets respond and trigger a number of high quality sound samples. Every subtle motion is picked up and animated. A real-time pitch shifter lets you shift the pitch as you swirl and shake the pellets. The interface is beautifully clean, simple and ready for you to pick up and play. Shakies built in pellets include maraca, shakers, tambourine, castanet, bells and spoon.
