User reviews

Audio quality

I’ve been using this app for about a year on android no problem. I recently switched to an iphone and now the audio is super gravelly almost like a speaker is busted but it only happens on this app. otherwise it would have been 4 stars

Can’t be used live

Would be a great app if you could change the chords and instrument mix with a controller (Live). For one thing the loop always starts from the beginning whenever you change anything. Impossible to use

Found the perfect assistant!

Nice when working on a chord progression, just a big help!

..mmmm...

its ok, & is useful, but no saving unless you pay.
I've also noticed that the sound breaks up REALLY badly if you try to multitask with another synth or app, & that does not encourage me to upgrade, ...not at all. Can't see it being my ipad, (which is a 2019 iPad pro ).

Chord Visualization needed

Would be awesome if we could get a chord visualizer as a keyboard representation or something.

I’ve played piano for years, and did a little music theory in high school. However, I’ve never really learned all the notes that make up chord notations.

As I experiment with songwriting having a visual representation of the chords would help so much. So I can take what sounds like a nice chord progression, and turn it into something that better fits my musical expression.

Anyways, super cool app, and all the controls are really intuitive. Easy to use, and definitely worth spending the $ if you write your own music regularly.
