This app is awesome

This app is really cool. Please make a Mac version so you can export your project to audio on a Mac. I know I would love that ability to be able to play on your iPad then export on a Mac maybe in your DAW or even a standalone would be cool.

Great until recently

Simple but great app that makes good use of the touch screen. Unfortunately, tho, I now have a bug where the clock is stuttering that makes it unusable. Hoping this will be fixed soon, as I was hoping to use this app in a performance next week. It’s really a great piece of software, but idk how to get around the recent issue

Amazing in standalone but…

….AUv3 mode is buggy! It just seems to fall apart whenever I plug it into AUM. It works for a few mins but then freezes if I try to make any visual changes like adding backgrounds and sometimes even when adding instruments. Find myself having to open it in stand alone mode to create new maps then opening them to play inside a host app. But I can’t make any changes without fear of freezing the app. I hope this gets fixed soon. I’d really love to rely on AUv3 mode for adding improv performances to my sequenced loops and beats and even doing sound design. Please fix auv3 mode!! 😩

…noch nicht gekauft…..aber scheint viel zu können

Just found out they support a one time payment

I downloaded this awhile ago, wanted to learn to use it, but wanted to wait until I could focus on it for a month to not end up paying for a subscription for multiple months while doing nothing. Found out from Jakob Haq that it’s a one time payment now and buying it now. Look forward to learning it.
