  • Add a single tenor section.

    Love the app since I first got it. Y’all should really add a single tenor section so that you don’t need to make separate beats for the quint and single tenor.

    Wait for the file to synch with iCloud before opening it right after a save.
  • (kinda) good app

    Overall, the app is really good to mess and have fun with, including copying cadences off from MuseScore. Although, some of the features can be quite buggy. Sometimes, the split feature can just freeze and losing a part of my progress in the process, and also the fact that some of my save files like to “duplicate” themselves for some reason.
    Again, good app, but might need some testing in the near future.

  • Amazing app

    It’s an amazing app just the only negative I have is that I tried writing something over 40 bars and it just won’t save that far
  • Needs improvement

    Great app. Have been using it since 2018. However, today I was making a beat, and although I would hit save to save my progress, it would erase what I’ve just inserted. This has happened at least 10 times today.

  • PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE

    This app would be a 5/5 for me if there was a way to separate tempos within a drum section. I.e having the lower register tenor drum be at a different tempo than the higher register drums.

    I’d willingly pay extra for that feature alone.

    Please🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
  • How do I export it to musecore

    How do I export it like as sheet music

    Developer Response

    menu -> export -> musicXML MusicXML opens in a variety of Notation software.
  • Polyrhythm/time sig issue

    I’m having some trouble with polyrhythms under odd time signatures. For example, it won’t let me do 4:3 while in 7/8 time. Also, it won’t let me do certain subdivisions without crashing. I can go up to the 64th notes when doing one quarter note at a time. It won’t let me do more than 8th note triplets across two quarter notes. And if I try to subdivide more than that at a time, it’ll crash. I have this app on my iPad on an older version (1.5.5.3) and ironically don’t have this issue. Again, I’ve only noticed this issue working in 7/8. This review remains five stars because I’m a long time user and know this app’s potential.

    Thanks for pointing this out. We found the issue and the new release fixes it. Greatly appreciate the five stars despite a few quirks!
  • One thing

    I love this app and have been using it since it was 3 separate apps before they put them all into one. One problem is the buzz rolls, they are impossible to make. When you make a buzz roll it just sounds like individual staccato buzzes, instead of a straight buzz sound. Please fix that devs and your app will be almost perfect

    Totally agree on the buzz. It’s something we’ve never been happy with, even after playing with the sounds for quite awhile. These are real samples from SCV and Crown.
  • One of my favorite apps

    I put up a review a few months ago and gave a 1 star rating. I was basically judging it off of the work that I had lost which was not fair. This review will be totally different. Aside from my work being lost (which I have on a different phone now) this app is really good! I’m loving the new sounds! The price might be a little much but for me it’s worth every penny. I definitely recommend this app to anyone that just want to write down their thoughts. It’s very easy to use. Like I said, the only downfall is the fact that you’ll lose your past creations if you’re updating from the older version. Other than that, it’s awesome!

    Sorry to hear about the troubles. No one wants to lose their master pieces.  The new home screen is basically a finder window. You'll find all your beats in the folder "On my iPhone" -> Ensemble -> **all your beats**.dla  From there you can move them to iCloud (if you use that).
  • This changes the drumline tech game

    I Use it daily. Worth the money right off the bat. Great NEW UPDATE!
