### 3/5 — The notes are still wrong

*2025-05-13*

Anyone else noticed that the notes are way off on this app? It’s a good layout and functionality but unuseable due to the errors in the keys and pitches. All keys are completely off except in C

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Oh, have to check the keys being off. Fine tune control is a good idea though

### 3/5 — Fun but needs fixing on MacOS

*2024-09-04*

Window can't be resized apart from full screen and in either view the app needs to be scrolled to view all controls and the sequencer.

Definitely worth more than 3 stars if it's fixed?

Works better on iOS.

### 5/5 — A lovely way to spend some quiet time.

*2024-06-22*

Immersive and invites feature digging

### 5/5 — the best

*2024-05-29*

so good so simple so creative!!!

**Developer response:** Thanks, great to hear :)

### 5/5 — Interessantes Tool, mit noch einigen

*2024-05-01*

Anpassungen (in der MaxOS VErsion !!
wird dies ein Klasse 
Kreativ Tool.

Manche Dinge sind noch nicht so klar (2. TEst) 
Fullscreen im Standalone Modus klappt noch nicht so richtig.
Midi IN ? Ok ich kann die Sounds am Keyboard spielen, aber die Noten im Sequencer setze ich per Hand/Klick?
Wofür ist dann Midi IN?
Im File MEnü gibt es zwar Export aber kein Speichern UNter?
UNd Export ist IMMER ausgegraut?
Das Hilfesystem zeigt nur Quatsch? Nix zum Program zugehöriges.?
Bin gespannt ob ich mich noch zurecht finde, da Jakob und andere ihre Unterstützung bei Presets gegeben haben solte es ja gut sein.
Vielleicht wenn ich auf dem iPAd alles erstelle und auf dem MAcMini dann nur nutze?

**Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback. 
Ja, also Midi In ist da, um die App mit einem Keyboard zu spielen oder mit einem externen Sequencer, wenn man nicht den internen Sequencer benutzen will.
Wenn du Save drückt, kannst du einen anderen Namen vergeben, das ist eigentlich das gleiche wie Save As. 
Das Hilfesystem zeigt nur Quatsch? Wie meinst du das? Es sollten Kurzinformationen zu jedem Button, Knob, etc. angezeigt werden

### 5/5 — Winner winner chicken dinner

*2024-03-13*

Been supporting since your first app with the crowd fund, another awesome work!

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot :)

### 4/5 — Yes or no ..

*2023-12-30*

I hesitated ..  I paid..   I was hooked ..

**Developer response:** Yes, that's how it should be :)

### 5/5 — Enjoying this one

*2023-12-24*

MIDI out is a great update, and I love the randomisation options.

Ideally it’d be nice to have a traditional piano roll for tweaking randomised ideas - I find the current method for changing note octaves very fiddly - but I’m not knocking stars off, as it’s not setting out its stall as a full DAW or beatbox, and I’m having plenty of fun with it as it is.

Traditional piano roll would get it 6 stars, and another 6 for an Elastic Drums AU update - as it’s the perfect accompaniment to this one!

### 4/5 — One out of three ain’t bad

*2023-12-22, version 1.1*

The inclusion of midi in/out improves this app. Moving it from simply fun to useful. But as the developer has stated, he does not want to include midi export or tie notes functionality. So without those this is probably as good as the app gets. Something that is fine for messing around with basic ideas, which then need more capable versatile apps to get to where they’re going.

### 5/5 — WoW

*2023-11-24*

This app. Is very very good tanks

**Developer response:** Thank you :)
