  • Brilliant, surprising, fun

    This is both a fantastic tool and a delightful toy. Like everything from ONC, it sounds ridiculously good and inspires exploration and creativity.
  • Easy fun and deep

    I wasn't expecting to have this much fun with this app.
    Now all my friends think I'm a DJ.
  • Hypnotic!

    Amazin unique input app. I recommend their whole iPhone/ iPad catalog ! Limitations are amazing. Perfectly placed. This promotes creative zen :)
  • intuitive and charming

    i'm a figure-holic-- this app, while not as robust, is well on its way there, AND covers things figure does not (like automated alternate time signatures and chord-switching on the fly, as well as customization based on a piano keyboard.) i'm very glad i bought it.
  • Does NOT support IPad screen size!

    Would be nice if it did though, along with a portrait orientation for iPhone.
  • Clever left field approach

    Interesting graphic interface approach to step sequencing, u can get lost in this for hours and have a lot of fun.
  • Basic at best

    Another app with a description that's too good to be true. In fact, the description was written better than the app itself.
    The program's capacity seemed to me to be greatly embellished through the use of open ended, broad statements, which paint many pictures of its few features.
    The app itself produces little more than random weirdness. The potential chaos that comes with apps of this sort has undergone a type of stupefied taming process via the limiting of the number of instruments to a paltry three, all of which are definitively ambient.
    I'm not saying that I hate this app, I'm sure I'll be able to come up with some sort of use for it, however subtle that may be. But the navigation is clunky, the sounds lack punch & the track programming brings to mind an analogy of a being with a beautiful head, arms and legs, sans the torso. The sequencer is the torso and it is what ties together programs like this. Weak programming capabilities hold this guy back from being a powerful "all-in-one" and keeping it in the awkward "unsynth" category. I do see their artistic vision of a "new type" of sequencer, but they took the all important editing screen and randomized it, without any possibility of further editing. That in itself turns this into nothing more than a toy. I'm going to take a guess that maybe 1% of all songs ever feature random instrument sequences.
    If I sound bitter, I apologize. I'm trying to write a productive review. However I just keep remembering all the great apps I have in my collection that didn't cost $3.99. Yes, I'm a cheapskate, but it's all relevant.

  • Getting Better (free midi +)

    My expectations were high for this app considering the other excellent work this design house has put into the world. This app (so far) is not impressive. There are pages of notes one could review, but as this is a music app the app should be judged by how it sounds, and the sounds are not great.
  • fun little sequencer

    good for doodling melodies and ideas and to their credit they have midi out if you want to capture it for a different app to work on further. Give it a go!
  • Really fun

    10 seconds in and I’m enjoying this app a lot. It really let’s you get creative while still sounding good.
