Traknotta: Backing Tracks

Build the backing. Play your part. Traknotta puts a sequencer, a backing-track generator and a multitrack recorder in one app for iPhone and iPad. Program a groove, jam over a chord chart, record your instrument and mix the take, all offline, all on one screen. PRACTICE WITH A BAND IN YOUR POCKET • 100 original practice songs in 15 genres: blues, jazz, funk, R&B, bossa, Latin, pop, rock, metal, hip-hop, dance, country, reggae, world and ballads. • Pick any of 12 keys, a tempo from 25 to 300 BPM and 1 to 16 choruses. • Follow the live chord chart with the current and next chord, chorus and bar position, and a practice tip for each song. • Mute drums, bass or keys and take their place. Tap a bar to start from there. • Press REC and capture your solo as audio or MIDI after a one-bar count-in. • Search by genre or theme (pentatonic, ii-V, modes, slash chords, tensions and more) and star your favorites.
