Really useful

This app is actually really surprisingly useful for music production. I find it does a lot of things and the randomness is some thing that provides a lot of happy accidents in the studio. My only complaint is it seems to crash sometimes and the pan is a little bit difficult to grab and move back-and-forth. But overall a really great, creative and intuitive app. Hours of fun!

Interesting, but…

There’s a lot to unpack here with the different modes. It would be cool to be able to save out as an audio file or open as an AU in GarageBand (or similar) - seems the logical place for this. As is, it’s a fun noise toy.

One huge caveat: I couldn’t figure out why it worked fine on my iPad but I got no sound on my iPhone. Turns out, the audio is routed through the ringer and I had that switched to silent. The audio should route through the same path as other instruments like synth apps.

Great toy, worthless for music production

I love the interface and simplicity. But that’s it. This is a toy. No way to get it into AUM or Audiobus. Can record with AudioShare with the iPad internal mic it you don’t mind also recording everything else in the room. That said time to remove it from my iPad.

Very nice app for drones

Would love to see the developer keep adding to it. It's really nice.

nice looping drones

fun to play.i like being able to save loops.sounds great!! an excellent synth with usable drones..
