Google\'s JAM an interactive web application
Google launched JAM an interactive web application that enables users in different locations to play music together using the Chrome browser on their computers.
The app is an experiment for
musicians, amateur musicians, beginners or even coach potatoes.
Google Creative Lab’s Marketing Manager Emma Turpin said “If you ever dreamed of playing in a band, now’s your chance to be a rock star. No matter what your level of talent—from daydreaming air guitarist to music pro—you can JAM together in real time over the web.”
JAM allows users to invite friends anywhere around the world to play music online in real time. Users can choose from a selection of 19 different instruments from acoustic and bass guitars to drum kits and keyboards.
Officials at Google said users could switch instruments as often and as many times as they like.
“In the easy mode you can experiment by clicking individual strings, drum pads or keys, or you can play around with the four different autoplay functions and let the machines do the work. Switch to pro mode to play any instrument using your keyboard,” Turpin said.
Google is updating its music profile over the past few months. It announced last month that it would soon be launching its \"scan-and-match\" feature for the company’s music service in Europe and in the US shortly after.
\"Scan-and-match\" is a feature that lets users store music on computer services of a host-service. The service can then stream songs over the internet to the user’s choice of Web-connected music players.
