TabToolkit for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is an incredibly powerful music notation viewer with multi-track audio playback. The app includes an audio synthesis engine that enables you to listen to and control the audio for all instrument tracks individually. TabToolkit makes learning how to play your favorite songs on guitar, bass, keyboard, drums and other instruments easier and more fun.

New! TabToolkit for iPad

The new TabToolkit for iPad was designed to take full advantage of the unique features of the iPad. Scroll smoothly through an entire page of music on the iPad's large, vivid display. Jump to any point of a song by simply tapping the screen. Easily access playback speed control and other features with the enhanced user interface. Plus, it all works with iPad in portrait or landscape orientation.

Tablature & Standard Notation

Tablature files (or tabs) are a popular format for composing and transcribing music, especially for guitar players. TabToolkit supports Guitar Pro, Power Tab, PDF and text tab formats. With "rich" file formats (Guitar Pro and Power Tab), you can view both standard musical notation and tablature notation. Take your sheet music and guitar tablature with you wherever you go!

Synthesized Instrument Playback

That's right, Tabtoolkit has a built-in audio synthesis engine now with simultaneous, multi-track playback. With audio control of individual tracks, you can mute the part you're learning while being guided by all the other instrument parts still playing in the background. You'll feel like you're playing along with a band, making it easier and more enjoyable to learn music. Put a configurable metronome in the mix and you'll never be off beat.

Instrument Guides

In addition to tab and standard notation, for Power Tab and Guitar Pro files, you can show either a guitar fretboard or keyboard to see finger placements in real time. This serves as a tremendous aid in learning new songs.

Upload & Download

If you've got tab files on your computer that you'd like to move into TabToolkit, no problem. Using your home wireless network, you can upload files directly to your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Need to get a tab file from somewhere online? There's a built-in web browser with tab download capabilities.

Multi-Track Support

Power Tab and Guitar Pro files allow you to specify different tracks for different instruments. TabToolkit has full support for this feature, allowing you to learn the lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar and keyboard if you'd like. There's also instrument remapping, enabling you to re-assign the midi instrument for any track.

Re-Orient Yourself

TabToolkit automatically adjusts its layout based on the orientation of your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. If you want, you can also lock the screen's orientation so that it won't auto-rotate.

Practice Content Included

You can always add your own tab files, but we've pre-loaded TabToolkit with some useful practice exercises to help get your warmed up.

Lefties Welcome!
