A comprehensive How-To section (accessible from the Options menu at any time) describes in more detail how to use CenterStage and shows up the first time you run the app. It also explains what sound formats are available.

When using the tilt to control the pitch/tempo or the volume, the effect is variable and depends on the amount of tilt. Also, these do not affect iPod audio.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the accelerometer for motion activated play (Shake-to-play).

The 3 ways of playing sounds (tap, timers, Shake-to-play) do not interfere with each other and can be used in conjunction with each other.

With music sources, only one can be playing at any time, but will remain playing even after the app is closed.

With other sources, multiple sounds can be playing at the same time (overlap), even while iPod audio is playing.

The built-in Recorder is available on iPhones and iPod touches with a build-in or external mic. Use it to record burps, farts, laughs, screams, dogs barking, any audio effects. Or record memos, reminders or a sweet note from a loved one so you can listen to it any time.

Tap the Fade Out button to fade out. Tap and hold to get list of options, including a Mute option.

Pros and cons of CenterStage: Custom Soundboard app for iPhone and iPad

CenterStage: Custom Soundboard app good for

Very fun application with lots of features. Out of the box has lots of great sounds and it has a very user-friendly interface. You can also customize the sounds and record anything you want. I like the fact you can keep it pressed and the sound will loop, or play multiple sounds and try your own kind of mixing. I love the delay feature you can set on one or more sounds. I can see having lots of fun with that at work and at home. Jump in on this price and you wont regret it.
I picked this up mostly for my three year old. He loves playing around with the other soundboard applications on the iphone. He really liked this one because the sounds changed in pitch or volume as he moved the phone around. Great application for keeping children busy for a while.
Center Stage is a really cool application. I have been playing with it all day. My wife and kids keep trying to get my iphone away from me to play with it. If you want to have some fun you need to get the application. Great Job Discovolos!!!
This is a fun application. The tilt pitch shifting is really nice.
Loved it, so did my daughter. Its nice that you could chose a sound and just shake your phone to hear it! Great stuff!
Very funny application. A true little gem of mixing sound and movement. A must for every iPhone.
