Strangely fascinating

Very good for ambient play sessions

Love it

Very fun and intuitive. Creatively inclined individuals could do quite a bit with this app.

Whatโ€™s the point?

I hate to be the one to say this, but it sounds like a demented cow...Awful choice of samples provided.

Please create a VST

This is an excellent idea and would be wonderful as a VST that can be used in my DAW.

Annoying and unintuitive

The default sound is.. extremely grating, and the UI goes off the side of my screen.
Not sure why this app exists

What Svetlovska said...

But already a lot of possible uses for this, and as it's for free I feel churlish for taking a star off now :( Take it as gentle encouragement!

Very fun accessible deep

Also the synth sounds are wonderful! Deep and well textured. I love loop process and it really makes it easy to get started and even has great easy save for songs

Simple free midi/wav creator app with a *lot* of potential

As a fan of Dark Ambient soundscaping, I was intrigued by this free apps ability to create evolving, decaying layers of looped sound, exportable as wav or midi files, and the inbuilt preset synth has enough variation to make the results usable in AUM Fileplayer or other more complex environments as is. However, I would gladly pony up actual cash for all or some of the following:

Midi in for proper keyboard triggering (the in app โ€˜keyboardโ€™ is a bit shonky)

Proper real time Midi out with cc control for more interactive control of the generated sequences.

Proper tempo indication and syncing to external apps.

Beyond that, the opportunities to mess with the created loops whilst running (eg volume, filter, modulation), and to control rates of fade, to โ€˜freezeโ€™ some loops whilst letting others fade at variable rates etc, would all be immense, and take a niche thing into true usability. Hereโ€™s hoping...

Sound

Campfire ambient tunes generator love it

Excellent for Indian raaga composition

I highly recommend for all Hindustani classical musicians to experiment with this.
