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. 🙏🏻

Wunderbar
Habe dies nur durch ein Zufall entdeckt und finde es wirklich gelungen. Spass fuer Stunden.
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.
感覚的に使えて楽しい！
タイトルの通り！
Half baked
This is in no way a clever idea to power up musical productions. Any sequencer is more precise and easy to use on IOS. Just like other apps from the same developers, it is a start of a concept… half baked.
AUv3 Pretty Please?
It’s wonderful and creative but adding AUv3 makes a workflow gem. Hoping…
Nice but
A nice tool but no auv3 support is sad
Creative Freedom
This app is so cool, You don’t really need to learn anything. Such an intuitive app, I was creating music that I would otherwise never have conceived. If your a fan generative or ambient music, you will love this. Excellent App!!!
Kudos to the developer

Nice melody generator
It’s fun!
Cool idea but not updated for large screen iPads
Please update the app layout to support the 11” iPad Pro screen.
It works again!
The latest update fixed the crashes I was experiencing in iOS 11. I’m so happy that the dev is still supporting this wonderful app!
Großartig
Ohne Worte
Such a cool little sequencer but...
The internal sounds are whatever...but I come up with such cool melodies that I'd never come up with otherwise. This is so close to perfect, what it needs is A) external midi control... so you can send chord and sequences changes to keep things tight.B) Also, as I said, the external sounds are whatever, and I don't have much use for a monophonic drum sequencer, so it would be cool if you could set the green track to behave like the regular melodic tracks when sending midi out. C) Also, the ability to transpose up and down octaves when sending midi would be awesome as well. Add that and this goes from a great app to a 5 star, genius level tool for coming up with crazy inhuman melodies.

Original mobile groovebox
Olympia Noise Co are true innovators in software musical instruments. They have a track record consisting of the outstanding Patterning drum sequencer as well as Ribbon (fka Ondes) and Chordion.
dot Melody is a stripped back groovebox with a twist, the sequencer's interface is activated by a blank grid where you drop, tap and drag interconnected dots.
Like Allihoopa's Figure, dot Melody may feel like too much of a toy on an iPad, on the iPhone it makes much more sense as a simple sketch pad for tight moments. Ideal for commuting or being creative in private spaces (ahem.) With its preset sounds you can focus on song structures and progressions with its easy to use pattern bank.
However like Figure, it would be greatly improved with a export or multichannel record feature like say in ElasticDrums or audio output per channel like in Patterning.
Then the sketches whipped up on your tea break could be uploaded to dissected and fleshed out on a DAW.
Apps like this are often caught in a space where they conform to a preset ecosystem making them feel like toys but for them to evolve into bridges to professional tools, these kinds of exports could be great outlets.
But toys are fun and the appeal of dot Melody is its dot chaining interface, a new way to play music. A huge feature is that it can even be used as a 3 channel MIDI controller for other apps or with the help of a MIDI interface could be used to control 3 hardware instruments!
Olympia Noise Co deserve recognition along side developers like apeSoft for really pushing the boundaries of creating music on tablets and smartphones.

Truly innovative
Olympia is definitely on the forefront of the most interesting and innovative interface designs out there today.
Les sons!
C'est une app simple, très musicale, mais (et ce n'est pas la seule) elle souffre d'une absence de sonorités intéressantes (vivantes, authentiques, expressives) et propose des sons synthétiques dont on est déjà gavés. Midi-Out, heureusement, pour s'en échapper!
wow
ein sehr einfach vertsändliches, aber trotzdem innovatives Instrument, bin begeistert.
Nah an der Perfektion
Nach kurzer Eingewöhnungsphase lassen sich mit dieser App tolle Melodien kreieren.
Die Bedienoberfläche ist simpel und auch für Menschen mit wenig musiktheoretisches Hintergrundwissen handhabbar, lässt aber dennoch erstaunlich komplexe Klanggebilde zu. So kommt man auch als Beginner schnell weg von den "handwerklichen" Fragen (Harmonielehre etc.), hin zu einem kreativen Prozess.
Aber auch für Profis ist die App als Kreativtool interessant.
Ich selbst nutze dot Melody als Inspirationsquelle um auf neue Melodien zu kommen, welche dann im Studio vertieft und verarbeitet werden. Dank Ableton Link funktioniert auch dies ganz ausgezeichnet.
