WI Orchestra: Move Aside GarageBand, There's A New Composition App In Town
by Joe White

WI Orchestra (free) is a recently released universal app, which allows users to access "a full orchestra library" and compose music on their iOS device.
The application features a variety of different instruments, though only five are available to access for free. The remaining 40+ instruments are available to purchase in app, and form a total of five instrument packs ("strings," "brasswinds," "woodwinds," "saxophones" and "percussion"). Each instrument pack is priced at $2.99.
WI Orchestra itself is definitely worth downloading. Its wide range of available instruments means it has the edge over GarageBand in this respect, though WI Orchestra doesn't feel as polished as Apple's creation.
However, WI Orchestra is universal - meaning it'll run natively on the iPhone and iPod touch, too (something GarageBand cannot currently do).
As mentioned, WI Orchestra is available to download for free, with instrument packs costing $2.99 each. Check it out, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
