You may remember the video review I did awhile back of the Ocarina for the iPhone. It was very cool to meet those responsible for this great ‘instrument’ at Macworld recently.

One of the guys was able to blow the “Legend of Zelda” theme using the Ocarina. How cool is that? No way I could ever do something like that. He’s really REALLY good, as well. They now have five Apps in the app-store. They are:

• Ocarina – Ocarina is the first true musical instrument created for the iPhone. Ocarina is sensitive to your breath, touch and movements, making it even more versatile than the original.
• Zephyr – Swish your fingers across a snowy landscape to create your unique story. Zephyr magically translates your touch and movements into distinctive wind sounds to complement your written message.
• Sonic Vox – Tired of your same old voice? Seeking a little vocal variety? With Sonic Vox you can alter your voice with a swipe of your finger.
• Sonic Boom – Sonic Boom turns your phone into a virtual firecracker and uses your finger as a virtual match. Strike the match, ignite the fuse, wait… boom.
• Sonic Lighter – Sonic Lighter can be used to ignite other combustible applications running on the iPhone, including the recently released Sonic Boom from Smule. Blow out the flame with your breath, tilt it sideways, or change the size with the pinch of your fingers.

As I was recording the video, another person walked up and asked what the heck that thing is. We explained that you just blow into the iPhone’s built-in microphone, and use your fingers on the “holes” on the Ocarina app. That’s all there is to it. It sounds easy, I know – but it’s not. It takes a heck of a lot of practice to be able to pull off Zelda, that’s for sure.
