Funi Player Lite 1.02 for iOS - Free Music Effects Editor is Musical Fun - Published on 03/16/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Sejin Kim today announces Funi Player Lite 1.02 Free for iOS, his music-editing app that gives users an innovative way to listen to and enhance the songs in their music collection. As the first iOS application that introduces new voice isolating technology, users may isolate vocals or instruments, adjust the speed of the tracks, or listen to songs backwards in the free version of this powerful Music editing app.

Seoul, Korea, Republic Of - Independent developer Sejin Kim today is pleased to announce Funi Player Lite 1.02 Free for iOS, his music-editing app that gives users an innovative way to listen to and enhance the songs in their music collection. Users may isolate the vocals or instruments, adjust the speed of the tracks, or listen to songs backwards in the free version of this powerful Music editing application. Taking music listening to a new level as the premiere iOS application to introduce innovative voice isolating technology, Funi Player Lite users edit music creations for karaoke, artistic creation, musical practice or fun. Using Funi Player's new technology, which requires iOS 5.0 or later, songs are all playable in stereo sound with or without effects, creating a fun and unique true stereo sound editing experience.

In this free version, the Funi Player Lite menu features the same menu as the iOS Music player, and it contains a user's entire media library. Listeners may choose a song from Playlists, Artists, Songs, or Albums. Once a song is selected, users have the option of listening to the song as it was originally recorded in Normal Play, or listening to music in one of Funi Player's innovative and entertaining music effect modes including: Acappella Effect, Vocal Removed Effect, Reverse Play and Speed Control Play.

Funi Player Lite provides users with a fun, free way to experience emerging voice-isolating technology. When listening to a song in Acappella Effect, the singer's voice is isolated, minimizing the instruments. Isolating the voice gives users the opportunity to hear intricate vocals, without the distraction of the instrumental tracks. While the song is playing in Acappella Effect, users may pause, play, and turn the effect on and off.

Musicians may also listen to only the instrumentals of a song in the setting Vocal Removed Effect. This setting, which removes the vocals from a track, includes the option to play, pause, record and turn the effect on and off. Perfect for karaoke, users may use this setting to play the instrumentals of a track while adding their own vocals.

Funi Player Lite gives users the ability to try, free, a number of additional effects including: Reverse Play, Speed Control, and links to YouTube Videos, Lyrics, and Ringtones in iTunes. The Reverse Play option of Funi Player Lite takes a song, vocals and instruments and plays the entire song backwards. The Speed Control Play option gives users even more creativity with songs in their music library by allowing users to adjust the speed of a song by slowing it down or speeding it up, while maintaining a constant pitch. With an unlimited number of songs that may be played, listeners may extend the length of the effects in songs by upgrading to the paid version, Funi Player.

Funi Player Lite supports the following song play features: play and pause, play collections, play next, play previous, scrubbing, now playing button, searching, index, lyrics, repeat, shuffle, background play and remote control. Once a user has synced a device to iTunes, Funi Player Lite updates the media library automatically, allowing for seamless integration with the user's media selections.
