every player has a bar they can't play yet. the run in the solo, the fill before the chorus, the line the bass player makes look easy.

questions.
Which files work?
Audio you own: MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF and FLAC from Files, voice memos through the share sheet, and videos from Photos or Files. Spole takes the sound out of a video on your phone.
Can it slow down Apple Music or Spotify?
No. Those songs are protected, so no app can slow them down. Use a file you own or have permission to use.
Does the key change when I slow down?
No. Speed and pitch are separate. Change the key on purpose in semitones, or fine tune in cents.
Can it split my own songs into stems?
Not yet. Stems come with the 14 jam tracks: drums, bass and the rest on their own pads. Your own recordings play as one mix.
Can I record over a jam track?
Not yet. The recorder pauses playback while it records. Play the groove from another speaker for now.
Does anything leave my phone?
No. There is no account, and your audio is played and processed on your iPhone. It works offline.
Which instruments is it for?
Any instrument and voice. Guitar, bass, keys, drums, horns, strings and singers use it the same way: loop the bar, slow it down, play it back up to speed.
Can I use it sideways on a music stand?
Yes. Turn the phone and the player gets a wider waveform with the pads beside it.
iPad or Mac?
iPhone only for now.
What does it cost?
Three recordings are free with everything open. After that, one unlock opens every recording, loop and tool. The App Store shows the price in your currency.
What does spole mean?
Spole is Norwegian for reel. Å spole tilbake means to rewind.
