The word "Otamatone" combines the Japanese "otamajakushi" (meaning "ladle" or "tadpole") and "tone," referencing the instruments shape and sound. Originally designed as a toy, it has evolved into an instrument that even musicians can enjoy.</p><p><strong>How to Play</strong></p><ol><li>Slide the rear volume switch to the right and set the volume to a medium level.</li><li>Press the black part of the stem with your fingertips to produce sound.</li><li>One of the Otamatones most charming features is its fun, squishy face! While pressing the stem, squeeze both sides of its face to open its mouth - this alters the sound, creating a wow effect similar to human vocals.</li></ol><p><strong>Tuning Your Otamatone</strong></p><p>- "Deluxe Models": Typically start at C and go up to G-sharp (spanning one and a half octaves), though some versions start at different notes, like F to A. Check your instruction manual for details.<br />- "Standard Models": Cover a single octave from C to C. Because of their smaller size, you dont need to slide your finger far to reach the next note. Use the "octave switch" on the back to shift to a higher or lower range.<br />- "Digital Models": Feature piano-like keys on the stem, while standard and deluxe versions have a smooth, touch-sensitive bar.</p><p>If the notes arent labeled, you can place a piece of masking tape along the stem of your otamatone and mark the spot on the stem using a tuner. The free "Otama Tuner" website can help you identify pitches. For beginners, "pre-made Otamatone stickers" (available on Amazon) are a handy option.<br />Keep in mind that the note positions on an otamatone can move up and down the stem. This happens because things like heat, humidity, and low battery affect its range. Changing the batteries can raise the range again, but you cant tune an otamatone to always have the same note in the same spot. Thats why you shouldnt mark notes on the stem with a permanent marker.<br />However, if you have a digital model, it will always stay in tune.</p><p><strong>Different Playing Techniques</strong></p><p>Push Technique<br />Press the stem with your fingertips to produce a sound. This is the simplest way to play and ideal for beginners.</p><p>Sliding Technique<br />Press and hold the stem while sliding your fingers up or down to change pitch. This allows for smooth, expressive transitions that arent possible on traditional 12-note instruments like a piano or recorder. Apply firm, even pressure while sliding to maintain a continuous sound.</p><p>Vibrato Technique<br />- Hold a note with your thumb and shake your wrist quickly to create a trembling effect.<br />- Alternatively, hold the Otamatones face with your thumb and middle finger, then move your hands gently while pressing the stem. This shakes the whole instrument for a similar effect.</p><p>Portamento<br />Glide seamlessly from one note to another by sliding your fingers along the stem - similar to playing a grass whistle.</p><p>Wow Technique<br />For a voice-like effect, press a note and then squeeze the Otamatones face to open its mouth. This creates a wow wow sound, making it look like the Otamatone is singing! Timing is key - press the note first, then open the mouth for the best effect.</p><p><strong>Expanding Your Sound</strong></p><p>If you have an "Otamatone Neo" or "Otamatone Techno", you can connect it to external devices for even more versatility. Use a 3.5mm stereo cable to link it to a smartphone and unlock new sounds with the "Otamatone Studio app". This app offers:<br />- Sound effects<br />- Instrument variations (guitar, violin, flute, synthesizer, even a cats meow!)<br />- Different musical scales<br />- Rhythm settings<br />- A piano keyboard simulation for more precise playing</p><p><strong>List of Songs</strong></p><p>A Hunting We Will Go<br />A Sailor Went to Sea<br />Acka Backa<br />Amazing Grace<br />Alphabet Song<br />Are You Sleeping?<br />Baa Baa Black Sheep<br />Baby Bumble Bee<br />Bell Horses<br />Bim Bum Biddy<br />Bobby Shafto<br />Brahms Lullaby<br />Chumbara<br />Cobbler, Mend My Shoe<br />Cock-a-Doodle Doo<br />Cotton Eyed Joe<br />Ding Dong DiggiDiggiDong<br />Do You Know the Muffin Man?<br />Doctor Foster<br />Doggie Doggie<br />Fiddle-Dee-Dee<br />Five Little Ducks<br />Five Little Monkeys<br />Frog in the Meadow<br />Happy Birthday<br />Here We Go Looby Loo<br />Hot Cross Buns<br />Humpty Dumpty<br />I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas<br />I Love Little Kitty<br />Its Raining<br />Itsy Bitsy Spider<br />Jack and Jill<br />Jingle Bells<br />Jolly Old Saint Nicholas<br />Kookaburra<br />La Cucaracha<br />Lavenders Blue<br />Lil Liza Jane<br />Little Jack Horner<br />London Bridge<br />Long-legged Sailor<br />Mary Had a Little Lamb<br />Michael, Row the Boat Ashore<br />Miss Mary Mack<br />My Hat<br />Ninety-Nine Bottles<br />Ode to Joy<br />Oh Susannah<br />Oh We Can Play on the Big Bass Drum<br />Old Bald Eagle<br />Old Blue<br />Old McDonald<br />Old Mother Hubbard<br />One, Two, Three, Four<br />Peace Like a River<br />Rain, Rain, Go Away<br />Ring Around the Rosie<br />Row Row Your Boat<br />Rub-a-Dub-Dub<br />See-Saw Margery Daw<br />Ten in the Bed<br />Ten Little Fingers<br />The Baker<br />The Bear Went Over the Mountain<br />The Bee and the Pup<br />The Big Sheep<br />The First Noel<br />The Mulberry Bush<br />The Wheels on the Bus<br />This Old Man<br />Tinga Layo<br />To Market, To Market<br />Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star<br />We Wish You a Merry Christmas<br />When the Saints Go Marchin In<br />Wishy Washy Wee<br />Yankee Doodle</p>...1230008872678_Intemenoslibro_electonico_1230008872678_1230008872678Helen WinterInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/2c34a9fd-caec-40f3-a288-0e818bc0bde0-epub-88635b4e-aff3-483c-9f57-9272da5e7adb.epub2025-03-17T00:00:00+00:00Intemenos
