### 1/5 — Eingestaubtes UI, Möglichkeiten so-lala, Grafik auf Pac-Man Niveau

*2023-08-11*

Im Gegensatz zur inspirierenden App „Fugue Machine“ desselben Autors ist das hier ein einziger Reinfall. Vor 10 Jahren hätte das ganze Getilte, Gechüttele und Gebeuge für einen Wow-Effekt gesorgt. Im Jahre 2023 nichts Besonderes, andere können es besser. Zudem ist die Benutzerführung eine Strafe: Kein offensichtlicher Zugriff auf weitere Einstellungen, man kann noch nicht mal die Einleitung wiederholt abspielen lassen. Ich versuche es zurückzugeben, sonst hab ich Pech.

### 4/5 — Un arpegiateur au top

*2022-12-14*

Une démo pour la prise en main, voir une vidéo tutoriel serait là bien venue, vue la puissance et les multiple possibilités 😉
Pas encore testé en midi sur ableton… mais ça ne serait tarder!

### 5/5 — Master engineer

*2022-10-26*

I am in music production for almost 20 years. This app is outstanding: buy it. I never right reviews and I am not being paid or benefiting  from telling you this other than good karma for the tip. Your welcome.

### 5/5 — Instantly gratifying

*2020-10-10*

The first thing I did when I started tapping the screen was smile and laugh with the joy of a 10 year old on their birthday. Whether you enjoy composing, performing, mixing and sampling, using this as a MIDI controller, or just like something that sounds really cool when you play around. An incredibly enjoyable experience. My only ask would be some accessability improvements for voice over users. I can't really access anything than the pad. I have to turn off voice over to use it by myself. I bought this because a friend showed me what it could do.

### 5/5 — Спасибо большое за такое классное приложение

*2020-06-12*

### 4/5 — Perfect BUT!

### 5/5 — I’m not a creator & I love it

### 1/5 — Needs Ableton Link

*2019-01-28*

### 5/5 — PRO upgrade gratis
