Sitar eMotion lets you add a few simple motions to a touch controlled sitar. This app is targeted for all levels of sitar players and includes an authentic sitar sound.

Sitar eMotion has several simple motion controls. The accelerometer can control the sitars volume level and the gyroscope can control the sitars octave range. Moving the device up and down raises the sitars volume and moving the device right to left lowers the volume. To change the octave range, you rotate the device either in a see-saw fashion or like you are turning a door knob.

The app features an 8 octave range covering 96 notes, 10 different volume levels and two different pad layouts. With each pad, you can play single notes, major chords, minor chords, or dominant seventh chords. Every note or chord has two durations - short or long.

The 12 note pad covers the entire sitar octave by semitone. With the 12 note pad, you also have the option of turning the motion controls off.

The 8 note pad covers common western music scales/modes - including major, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, minor, harmonic minor, and locrian. You get to choose the sitar key with the 8 note pad.
