  • FUN

    This is a good tool. It's fun to use, has robust MIDI settings and versatility that could be used for many types of users, from starters to serious . With this one can use it as a quick go to app for quickly sketching simple melodies in a visual way, or use it to drive other synths or beat boxes. The built in electronic sounds nice quality and can stand on their own.
    The only issue I can think of is that it's optimized for an iPhone up, therefore it's sort of bulky on an iPad but a still very usable and fun!

    Developers: please make an iPad optimized version.

  • Out of the box thinking

    I was skeptical at first reading some of the reviews...I'm glad I got dot melody. It is a wonderful little idea generator that can take you outside of your usual rhythm. It is quick to learn, easy to use, and while I usually hate IAPs, this is worth it for the small cost.
  • Fun

    This little app is a super fun sketch pad for any musician. I especially like how it promotes new ways of thinking about music, yet is still usable with traditional principles.
    I'm addicted to the darn thing!
    Haven't got the in-app midi rig, but am likely to-- just to more fully explore the app as a compositional tool with my full sound bank and Logic.
    Good Job, Guys!

  • Fantastic Midi sequencer!

    While rather limited as a standalone instrument, it's as a midi sequencer / arpegiator that this app really shines. The interface/workspace is amazingly well put together and intuitive... Easily in the same league as Xynthysizr, Poly, and Arpeggionome (although not quite as granular)

    Well worth the in app purchase!

    Amazingly easy to create organic yet very pleasing rhythms and short melodies. A separate out for bass /drum/lead makes it easy to send isolated signals to multiple instruments.

  • This_is_a_scam

    Crappy app. Bad presentation, boring sounds/interface/capabilities. Didn't even want to download it. For some strange reason when I tapped "details" while looking into this crap it selected "buy" and didn't prompt me for a password. Even now that I "accidentally" downloaded this junk I can very carefully and directly tap "details" and iTunes acts as if I selected buy/open. Something is fishy about that. Sure just get a few thousand people to think they accidentally downloaded a $3 useless app to gain a few extra bucks.

  • Fun!

    I love the design of the app but along with that is an almost endless supply of fun. It's also quite easy to grasp and for most part pretty stable. Add Audiobus to the equation, what you end up with is ingenious way of creating music.
  • Wish it was better

    It has a lot of potential but the learning curve kills it. Also the instruments aren't that great either.
  • Great

    Great music app. Fun to mess around with. I agree that time/progression can be a little confusing. I purchased the midi add on and I'm confused on how to design a tone
  • Dot Melody

    Easy to use. Fun to use. Works immediately without any instruction . The instructions help clarify some of the features on the program . Nice sound quality on head phones. Sounds great on the speaker system which I used through AirPlay. I understand there is a midi connection but I have not yet tried it. Simple to use and not difficult to make melodic chords and rhythm

  • Great standalone and controller

    Great app, easy to use as a standalone tune maker. Nice range of internal sounds which combine to produce some very cool tunes. Fluid, intuitive controls that will suit beginners or more advanced users. Use the MIDI IAP to control other synths and you have a powerful app indeed. It looks fantastic on an iPad already but an update is on it's way which will enhance this.
