User reviews

It works great!

Definitely a limited sequencer, but it works as intended and does what it does.
Thanks!

Not a sequencer

This is not really a sequencer at all, in that I can’t find a way of using it to enter a sequence of my own choosing. I also can’t find a way of setting it to the tempo of the song I’m doing, which is 113bpm. I have to choose another tempo dictated to me by the manufacturers.

If you don’t like exercising your freedom of choice, use this thing that isn’t a sequencer.

Nice Idea for a Sequencer

Great design.

Genius

For years the idea of the circle of fifths and how they relate to music scales confused me. Now with this app they're obvious. Genius. Pure genius.
