ABOUT iCUBE Link and the CUBE JAM App
CUBE JAM is a free app for iOS that allows playback of MP3 audio from any iOS
audio library through an iCUBE 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 iCUBE Link amp, including performances along with
the audio library.

song, and show the A/B, SPEED, PITCH and CENTER CANCEL features.
