About Alto Sax Prompter
The easiest, most fun way to learn to play the alto sax! It's like a teleprompter for the saxophone: play the note fingerings shown on the screen to play along with the included scales--or import a song MIDI file from your e-mail or from a web site and see note fingerings for the alto sax in real time as the song plays! Slow down any song to make it easier to play along with, and adjust the playback speed at any time!
Alto Sax Prompter can automatically loop either a whole song or a section of a song, so you can highlight a passage you want to focus on and play it along with Alto Sax Prompter—over and over until you learn it perfectly!
Alto Sax Prompter also remembers your per-song settings, so you can pop back into any song you’ve been practicing and Alto Sax Prompter will remember which section you were working on, what tempo you were playing at, which tracks you had muted—and of course whether you had looping turned on!
No more trying to balance fingering charts and sheet music on your music stand! No more having to cross-reference from sheet music to try to find the right note to play! The Alto Sax Prompter ends this frustration, gets you making music IMMEDIATELY, and keeps you motivated to PLAY MUSIC!
Alto Sax Prompter is a great tool for people trying to learn to play on their own, or with a private teacher, or in a school environment. Instructors can prepare weekly lessons as MIDI files and e-mail them to students so students can practice the RIGHT music, in the most productive way possible! Delete an imported song by swiping a finger across the title in the song list. Or share an imported song via e-mail, by pressing-and-holding on the song title in the song list.
This release of Alto Sax Prompter also adds a new way to share music files between users who are in the same room—with support now for AirDrop! If you’re an instructor, share lesson files with your students using AirDrop—no need to know anyone’s e-mail address or phone number! As long as they are near you (in the same room) and have AirDrop enabled, they can receive the files you share instantly! If you’re a student, or in a band, share songs instantly with your fellow musicians—so everyone is on the same page!
Alto Sax Prompter also now supports the two-pedal AirTurn wireless page turner! Now your practices can be MORE PRODUCTIVE and MORE FUN when you control Alto Sax Prompter with your feet! Start, stop, or pause playback! Scroll backwards or forwards through note fingerings for the notes in your songs in order! Step through the reference fingering charts—by literally stepping on the AirTurn’s pedal! Now you can practice without taking your hands off your instrument—so practice is more efficient, more productive, and MORE FUN! Stay focused on LEARNING and PRACTICING—without having to interrupt your progress by having to touch your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch’s screen as much! Check out the AirTurn Bluetooth wireless page turner at http://airturn.com —available at amazon, Musician’s Friend, and anywhere music gear is sold--and unlock the best experience possible with Alto Sax Prompter! (Note that you don't NEED an AirTurn device to use Alto Sax Prompter--all features of Alto Sax Prompter are totally usable without any extra hardware. It's just a nice bonus that if you do have an AirTurn device, you can use it with Alto Sax Prompter!)
You can even view parts in song files written for other instruments--automatically transposed to the correct octave to fit in the alto sax’s range!
We’ve also added a handy new chromatic scale song file to the 36 pre-packaged song/scale files we already include.
Regularly priced at $9.99--but buy now at our special introductory price of $4.99! Your time is valuable--let the Alto Sax Prompter help you make the most of your practices!

New features:
- Ability to share imported MIDI files with friends via e-mail. Press-and-hold on a blue song title in the song list to share via e-mail.
- Ability to pause/resume playing from within the Section viewer display, so you no longer have to switch over to the main screen to pause/resume.
- Added automatic transposition when viewing a track for another instrument whose range is out of your instrument's range. So notes will still sound in the original range, but will be shifted by octaves as necessary to be able to be displayed as note fingerings for your instrument, in your instrument's range.
- Increased the number of notes that can be shown in the Section viewing screen, so you can see a whole song there if you choose.
Bug fix:
- Fixed scenario where re-playing a song file in which the user had chosen a non-default track could cause the highlighted instrument track to change back to the default.

With this update we've enabled pause/resume functionality, and made the app work for iPhone and iPod!
1.3
May 10, 2013
We've added two great new features: playing ranges of a song, and the phrase viewer!
Now you can mark a range within a song so you can work on songs a little bit at a time. A progress indicator shows you where you are in a song at all times, and a range slider lets you play just the part of a song that you indicate. Skip long intros to get right to the alto sax part of a song, or mark a short section of a song to work on till you get it right!
And the phrase viewer lets you view a sequence of notes and work on them at your own pace. This is a great way to get started when you find that watching individual notes in real time may still be too fast for you--or you just want to have an overview of a whole passage. Access the phrase viewer from the tab bar at the bottom.

We've corrected detection of instrument channel names in imported MIDI songs and now auto-select the alto sax track when loading an imported song--so Alto Sax Prompter is ready to show the track you want as soon as you click to load and play an imported song! And we've fixed a crash that could sometimes occur when playing very large imported songs.
1.1
Apr 27, 2013
With this version we've added a one-measure count-in to each of the included song files. This allows the user to press the Play button to start playback of a song file--while still having enough time to re-position his hands on the saxophone before the first note plays.
We've also added the ability for the user to slow down any song (either included songs or imported songs) to make it easier for the beginning player to choose the speed at which he is most comfortable playing. The playback speed can be adjusted at any time during song playback.
