User reviews

Solid

Hold down notes to change pitch. Took me a while to figure this out. Solid sequencing app, really requires the auv3 purchase as the internal samples are extremely basic

Very good

I love this app. Initially it was difficult to navigate, but now i have it down it had become very useful for me. I use jt to figure out how to deconstruct my drum parts. It would have been nice to have a ability to move my creations from one device to another.
