About i-CUBE Link and the CUBE JAM App

CUBE JAM is a free app for iOS that allows playback of MP3 audio from any iOS

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

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
