Dated amusement

It's not a bad app, but it is *very* old, from the nascent days of iOS music making. May have provided some novelty back then, but it has little value today.

I have been looking for something this intuitive for decades

Thank you. I am breathing sighs of relief that I finally feel like I can work my music into something digital. I have been working musically for decades and have tried every program and app trying to find something that could intuitively work for the way my mind works. I am likely to buy the rest of your apps. I rarely want to invest in music software because they feel so unintuitive for me. So so so grateful this exists. Thank you. 🙏🏻

Whack.. but doesn’t need to be.

Firstly, I adore Patterning and have all of the devs apps, Dot Melody is dope, had some great elements, sounds, capabilities- but the inability to quickly export midi and wav is absolutely missing and makes this app a pass for any suggestions. Audiobus recording is garbage- we need the ability to export our saves, otherwise- this was completely pointless and could have purchased something worthwhile.

Needs AU3

It is a shame that such a nice app, with huge potential has been neglected. If this was AU3 it would have a whole new lease of life, inspiring sonic imaginations.

AUv3 Pretty Please?

It’s wonderful and creative but adding AUv3 makes a workflow gem. Hoping…
