After the last update this became even better than before, a real delight to play with. There are not enough stars available to properly rate this instrument ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️……….
Hands down the best money I’ve ever spent on IPad audio. Even if you just use it for the chord progressions you’re getting your money’s worth easily arranging compositions within minutes. Composed several full songs within a few days. There is a learning curve but what a pay off. This thing is powerful and is ridiculously fun to jam with. Man, I’m in love with the probability patterns. Keeps things so fresh. Only wish there was a second bank of patterns to make even more complex arrangements but it’s no deal breaker. My kids with zero music theory love to jam with it as well. I love this app.
In my experience, this app can be used to create very sophisticated and musical soundscapes, either with the included sounds, or by by sending the touch information to other apps or devices with midi. Very sophisticated and deep control parameters when you want them, but also simple to use when you'd just like to relax and enjoy some musical inpiration.It's now an essential piece of midi controller gear in my arsenal, and performs functions and inspires me in ways I could never get from a midi keyboard. In my opinion, this developer has made and important contribution to this new type of music production. The price is peanuts, compared to the cost of a hardware midi controller, and doesn't require any more physical space in my studio.
Edit: had to change my review to five stars if I could give it more I would , not only is this developer in my opinion one of the best app makers for musicon iOSbut he listens to what his customers want, and none of the apps become abandoned so many updates its hard to keep up lol! I can honestly say I have spent in the thousands buying apps to make music, and this one by far is the most creative, intuitive price of software I have come across, midi out only made it more magical, thank you so much for hours of inspiration and good fun!!!!!
Developer ResponseThanks for the great review. Just a quick note to say that MIDI out is in progress and there are some demos on YT. I'm not sure if MIDI out for drums and percussion will make it in the next release, but if not, that'll follow pretty quickly. AU is a little more complicated, but it's planned for sure.
This is a very special app that I think can be enjoyed by anyone at any level of music ability and knowledge. It has the ability to make complex sounds easily. I can't imagine not living this very cool instrument. Thank you for the fun.
