Yamaha THR iPhone App

By Paul On May 8, 2012 · Leave a Comment

I recently wrote about the Yamaha THR range of USB guitar amplifiers. Both the THR5 and THR10 are great portable companions for a guitarist on the move.

To further expand the THR experience Yamaha have recently released a free companion App for iPhone, THR session.

THR Session makes a great companion to a THR amp (if you have one or are looking for another reason to buy one), but the good news is that the free Session app could also be used with other equipment such as the Amplitube iRig or Apogee Jam. But with some creativity and the right leads, could be used with other equipment.

Here’s a video intro for the Session App.

THR Session is a guitar trainer tool that offers several key functions:

Cancellation (Mute the guitar and/or Bass sound from the songs in your iOS device library)
Extraction (Isolate the guitar and/or bass parts to help you learn songs by ear)
Preset (3 presets (Guitar High Mode / Guitar Low Mode / Bass Mode) to help you quickly find the instrument you want to cancel)
A-B Repeat (Repeatedly plays a selected segment of a song)
Key Transpose (Changes pitch of songs (± one whole step))
Slow Down (Changes tempo of songs with no effect on the pitch(50-100%))

Why not give it a try for yourself?

The free Yamaha THR Session app is now available at the iTunes App Store:
