Examples of what you can do with OctoPod:

- Use it for practicing: record yourself or someone else playing chords, then practice singing, scales, improvisation, a song you’re learning, whatever you want. Or just use the drum grooves as a drum machine to keep you in time.

- Record a song with your band: select *no drums* from the drum groove wheel, hook up your iPhone or iPod Touch to a mixer with a Camcorder AV cable and use mics, headphones, speakers, any audio gear you have to record your next big hit.

- Use OctoPod to record your ideas when you’re on the road. Or if you need some inspiration, pick a drum groove, start jamming and see where the music takes you.

- Record a cover song and show off your vocals: pick the drum groove that fits, have a friend play guitar (keys, synth etc.), add a bass line and then sing or rap over it. Wi-Fi Export to your computer, drag and drop into Garageband (or similar software) and add reverb, auto tune, delay or any other effects you want.

- iPhone Stereo Headset (headphones with a built-in microphone) or TRRS 1/8” to RCAs cable (Camcorder AV) connected to an audio mixer / mic preamp.
