Ask Dr. Gil: ZOOZbeat Musician Asks Expert: How Do You ZOOZ Do Re Me Fa So La Te Do?

A ZOOZbeat Musician (GamerPops Blog Author Jeff) Writes:

[My question] deals with semi-tones, as in I couldn’t figure out how to do them. In Pro mode [iPhone or iPod Touch held horizontally], it seems that you can only go up or down a full tone from note to note on the graph. Is there a way to work with semi-tones that I missed? One of the things I’m noting is that I can play the Meow Mix jingle (silly, I know : ) on pretty much any [traditional] instrument, but I can’t do it with [the new ZOOZbeat] app because the first four notes of the jingle are C, B, A, G, and C to B is a semitone, and I couldn’t make that work since I could only make it go down from C to B-flat. Not being able to use all 12 semitones in the musical scale could present an issue for some folks if they were trying to create something specific. … I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something …

Currently, different ZOOZbeat beats come in different scales, to make it easier for our ZOOZbeat Musicians like you to create meaningful melodies that fit the song.

For your Meow Mix song, try one of our seven notes scale beats, such as Glitch. Moreover, in our next ZOOZbeat update (by December 25. 2009), we will allow ZOOZbeat Musicians like you to change and customize the scale to your liking, so you will be able to play the Meow Mix song in every genre.
