Get yours here: http://www.auug.com/order/ ------ Play in-app sounds, iOS music apps (e.g. GarageBand), or laptop software through movement: The AUUG Motion Synth tracks your movements and screen touches to expressively play in-app musical sounds. The AUUG Motion Synth also allows you to play the sounds of other iOS music apps, giving you access to a vast array of sounds and effects. You can also play external devices like hardware synths or vocal harmonizers as well as control audio or visual software on a laptop (via WiFi or cabled connections). The Motion Synth app is also compatible with the Music IO app, allowing you to control your laptop software via your iPhone cable (Lightning). ------ Use the Motion Synth App by itself or with a Motion Synth Grip: The Motion Synth App has two modes: 1) Single-Key mode (free version): This Motion Synth App mode allows you to quickly engage with motion-based music control, and includes tutorial videos explaining how to use the in-app sounds. 2) Multi-Key mode (upgrade): This Motion Synth App mode is designed to work with the AUUG Motion Synth Grip: a physical holder that securely attaches your iPhone or iPod touch to your hand, thereby improving the dexterity and accuracy with which you can trigger notes via the touch screen.

http://auug.info/wiki/doku.php/public/modules_motion_tab?glissando_notes
This update also includes improvements in the app's core motion and orientation engine. In particular, if you are changing orientation quickly and move through and beyond the limits of a zone of orientation control, you will now see more consistent results.
When upgrading to a new version of the Motion Synth app, if you have created Presets that you value, it is good practice to export or backup such Presets prior to upgrading. Instructions for Preset export/backup are provided here:
http://auug.info/wiki/doku.php/public/presets_tab
While your saved presets should carry over to the new version smoothly, it is worth exporting or backing-up user-created Presets as a precaution. 1.2 07/12/2015 - MIDI over Bluetooth LE (iOS 8+ only, use on iOS 7 may CRASH the app): Control laptop software via Bluetooth.
