What the heck!

This is an absolute waste of ten dollars!
Mozart, Beethoven and other musicians would think this is a waste!
I thought me and my French Horn would have a great time but nope.

So so

Disappointed in this app,although it has potential. Locks up,states more than 1 octave leap,fix once dialog appears, measures disappear when I try to extent the count. Everything sounds like a funeral dirge. All in all I'm hoping for some refinements as JR is a really dedicated musician.

Proof that using math to make music will only go so far...

Making music should not be constrained by sets of rules. Computer programs can only work on the set of rules with which they were programmed. The app just hung during the arrange phase and never finished for any idea I threw at it. I'm no Mozart, but you'd think I am based on how the app took a dump at any melody I came up with. Really neat idea and Jordan & Co. have put out some super killer apps. This one is a great idea but seems only to work well with the baroque style and with very simple melody lines. Honestly I'd ask for a refund on this one if I thought I could get it.

Mixed results so far

I've had some good harmonization with certain pieces. I've had nothing but frustration with other pieces because the app never finishes the process. The app is new and it can take time to work out previously unseen issues so I hope that updates will solve things soon.

Absolute Wizardry!

Ive only had this app a few days, haven't got into the nooks and crannies yet. Ive pumped in a few melodies and this has given me some amazing inspiration for alternate chordal structures and harmonies, so very useful for any composer looking to add some variety to their writing

Another Fantastic Program from Jordan Rudess

This is one amazing program from a great team. The technology is far ahead of most music apps. In addition their customer support is tops and is very responsive. They answered my question within minutes of my concern. It just does not get better than that.

Interesting

The developer claims this to be a "minor miracle". If you can look past the patronising interface alerts ("arranging your masterpiece") this app does a good job at harmonising. It lacks sophisticated musical elements like tuplets and does not cope very well (it hangs) with chromatic melodies. Miracle no but nice toy.

Wonderful magic !

What a great app. I created a small piece in minutes and it sounds amazing ! I had a query and customer support replied amazingly quickly. All in all if you want to have some fun harmonising this is wonderful.

Pretty Freaking Cool So Far

Just starting to dig into this. Could be an amazing way to compose and harmonize. Seems very well thought out and runs smoothly. Learning curve is acceptable. More to come...

Computers can't make music.

Thought it would be really awesome, but not so much. Computers can't make music, and I wish I would've remembered that before buying. Wish I could get my money back :/
