I think the developer miscalculated when they decided to go the intrusive IAP route as it constantly asks you to purchase the IAP as you're trying to use the app to see if you even want the IAP. Nevertheless I tried it out, watched some videos, and then took the IAP plunge. The app works well with midi and in Audiobus. The controls are smooth and can produce anything from subtle to dramatic changes. If you like creating evolving ambient and or electronic music, this is definitely an app worth considering. It's capable of a far greater range of sounds than those shown in the demo videos.
fun to play with but as others said start stop button is a must, this gets annoying. background audio option makes things more usable as well. how do we copy a pattern from one memory mage to the other?? there seems to be no way to do that, so thats limiting if are developing an idea. also there should be a way to assign scale glide and some other global settings to individual cells in the memory pane, this way we cant modulate between two saved cells but only from the global page? thats another limiting concept. overall has potential and is fun to use.
only one preset drum tack? wish i was able to creat a drum track,synth track,bass track... i like the sound of the synth though!!good results tweaking away, would be awesome app if had ability to make your own beats!!!
This app looks might be fun to use, but the developers pop up their "upgrade" dialogbox almost every time you touch the screen, so it is impossible to determine if I want to upgrade. Developers: if you do not fix this, your app will die a miserable death on the App store. If you do fix it, you might actually have someone upgrade
I thought there would be a beat sequencer. There's only a sequencer for one synth. You can basically play with sound parameters to pre defined loops. Maybe I lost something here but there's very little room for creativity here. Cool toy, that's all. At the very least we should have a stop and start button.
Damned irritating constant prompts for In-App Purchase
I wasn't able to test anything without constant prompts to 'Unlock blablabla' via IAP. How the hell does the developer expect me to test the app when every single tap on a button or slider brings up the stupid IAP prompt? Sliders won't move. Just constant irritating prompts. Way to turn potential customers off. Deleted.
This is a really fun one. A lot of the musical automata apps out there sound like cheap cheese. This is gourmet cheese. Has that older but good quality trance and progressive type sounds that are easy to manipulate and evolve in surprising ways that are still somehow coherent within the groove. This app is probably most ideal for those without much musical knowledge, though perhaps not quite so useful if you prefer more unconventional experimentations with sound. I would still recommend it to anyone who likes to play around - DJs who like to add a little something to the mix, amateurs who don't want to sound like amateurs, and even those that are just into noise might find there is some chaos to be squeezed out of this one. Excellent release! Looking forward to the upgrade screen bug fix so the full version may be unlocked on the iPod touch. I want this one in my pocket for sure. PS - please be mindful of iOS7 issues when updating, a lot of us musicians still prefer the older operating systems due to reliability concerns when performing live
The option tabs at the bottom are cut off and inaccessible on my iPhone 5/iOS 7, rendering it useless. From what I can see and hear, I'm not sure I'm missing much.
"I love the spirit behind the concept. Definitely taking advantage of what can be designed these days. The fact that the controls have influence on each other makes for an extremely wide range of possible textures." -Geoff White "A lot of the musical automata apps out there sound like cheap cheese.
