About i-CUBE Link and the CUBE JAM App

CUBE JAM is a free app for iOS that allows playback of audio from any iOS

audio library through an i-CUBE link equipped amp or any other compatible audio

playback device. Its many features make it perfect for jamming to your favorite

music or practicing new songs or lessons. It can manipulate the speed, pitch and

center content of the audio to suit the player just by tapping and swiping the

icons, and set A/B start/stop loop points for practicing selected sections of songs.

It also can record from any i-CUBE Link amp, including performances along with

the audio library.
