Githara Studios is where a passion for guitar resonates with a passion for
technology. Most recently we have been adding features to a USB-based guitar effects app called
usbEffects
This is a great app that lets you plug your guitar into you phone or tablet using USB. With a fully configurable effect
rack to let you create a range of sounds. Best of all a new look User Interface was recently added to this app
after many people requested it. This app uses USB in and out which has allowed us to get audio in and out of
the Android platform with very low latency -- a first for the
Android platform as far as we know. The very latest upgrade for this app has included support for
more USB devices. Check out a
review of this app.
We really appreciate Kevin Windross spending the time to help us make

has small native audio buffers (like Nexus 5 or Galaxy Nexus), you are set. Otherwise, there will be plenty of delay and this can be a hassle. Still, there
are hours of fun to be had and if you can't take the latency, you can always try
usbEffects. Here is an older
review of this app on an Italian Guitar site.
HammerOn Guitar is Githara's first product and intended for the real Guitar Heros. The
vision for HammerOn Guitar is to create a virtual jamming experience as close to the real thing as possible. If you
want to play chords and sing kumbaya -- HammerOn Guitar may not be for you. But if you want to play screaming lead to the
limits of the android platform then install now.
The HammerOn Guitar is exactly that -- no picking, just hammer on and pull off. This means a left-hand only action and faster
playing. You can select from a number of backing tracks and solo away. The HammerOn Guitar is based on
fret 5 to fret 9. HammerOn Guitar features:
