Very nice but...
Very easy to get something started but a bit difficult to edit whilst playing and to add new a new bar even when paused takes a few taps so you can add new part. Needs a clear button not a hit or miss guess tap... Other then that annoying part it's great to get ideas started. Easy to export into other apps to jam along with too. Almost a top app on my iPadShow lessSample guy
Fantastic songwriting tool!
I really love this app. I got this and the acoustic guitar version a few days ago. I've already got strong starts on about 6 new songs inspired by the playing and demo chord progressions. Some of these may make it to the track in Sonar X2 if I decide to produce something bigger. The sounds are quite good except for a few transition effects here and there. If it's mixed with other instruments, you would never notice those. I've done a few simple demos in GarageBand using Audio Copy/paste. Audiobus works but getting it synced with GB metronome was more trouble than it's worth. For a quick sketch of a new song, I just play back the loop in this app on my iPad, and record my voice and the instrument using the Voice Memo on my iPod touch. Not high quality but really quick and easy.
This app is similar in some respects to Band in a Box on PC. I have used that program for years, and in recent years it's gotten really good with Real Tracks. Those are chords and riffs and other parts play by studio musicians and synced to the midi track which you defined by chord progressions very much like this app. BIAB is more flexible but also much more complicated and expensive.Show lessFlyingSinger

Great app! I am a total amateur but find it really user friendly and it has a great range of chords to create your own sound and have fun!super lamma happy
TEMPO
lets not get too carried away, it's good, it's a great idea but I'm a songwriter and without being able to change the TEMPO it's so limited.
You very quickly run out of space as once you've used the piano piece in that style your stuck!!!!
To use the interface that looks a bit basic is not the easiest thing in the world but I admit it should get easier with more use and practice.
I bought this because of the great write ups on the review but a more honest and balanced view is requiredShow lessTrods
Interface confusing, needs more flexibility
You cannot change the BPM for any of the loops which keeps you locked into the predefined BPM in the selected style. Without the ability to change the BPM, this app is kind of useless for creating music. The loops also have sound artifacts that can be heard in between some chord transitions. Interface is confusing.Show lessnashdog
Great App!
You can use this app in many ways - ear training, accompaniment, learning piano accompanying styles, composing tool, learning common chord progressions, and generating quick demos. It's beautifully implemented. I love the jazz and guitar versions of this app too.benge63
Good idea but !
At least 3/4 2/4 & 6/8 demo tracks should be include, crash the first time I launch the app, never happen again... Please play button in edit mode, is a headache. The sound excellent and very helpful and really good for the price I recommended this appD.Donatelo
Awesome
The piano samples are lush and very realistic. Easy to use and fully capable of using for quick demo making. Love that its integrated to audiobus.abcdefghijoe
Piano sessions rule.
This application works great for me! I love these apps I have been getting them all because of the simplicity and style of these apps! The graphics are also great on the iPad! I love creating mixes of piano tracks! Adjusting the tempo and creating instant loops is great!Graphicwheeler
Quality user experience
The app is well thought-out in terms of layout and design and the loops sound great...these are all songs I'm producing that can be put into my video projects and sent to paying clients.
The tutorials are a bonus as well...the folks giving the lessons seem extremely knowledgable and it's worth checking out what they have to offer.
So far good experiences with this application and will continue to use.Show lesswillmyers18
