I love this MIDI app!!

This app has been extremely useful to my songwriting. The developer is super friendly and responsive to any questions I’ve had. He even implemented a feature request I made in a very short period of time. To think that after 10 years this app is still being updated with new and interesting features!

A revelation

I have been using this app for three years and I am still blown away by how powerful and enlightening the interface and layout is for arranging and writing

The App of my DREAMS!!

I was a professional music producer for 10 years, and if i had discovered this app THEN…

I literally don’t have to worry about my fingers’ ability to play what my mind is creating.

This is hands down, the single greatest VSTi, ever…and nobody knows it.

Very clever app, please update.

Whether you are a trained musician, or a sonic dabbler with no formal knowledge, this app can help. It looks complex, and is, but getting something from it is just a finger tap away. The app does so much work in the background, it’s almost impossible to make a mess. The only thing missing is midi in, and many month later it’s still missing. Now that Scaler 2 and Progressions are here this app needs updating with new features.
