User reviews

Not Intuitive at all

Bought it, couldn’t get anything out of it or my money back. Beware

Needs instructions

I bought this because I needed a SIMPLE midi editor. I clicked on everything that I could find to import a midi file to no avail. I’m going to try one more time before I move on.

Old software

This software has not been updated since many years.
Not compatible with Apple files app

Abandoned?

This is a fun, useful app that needs some attention. Alas, like many smaller developers, it seems to be abandoned. To bad, with a little work, this app could have been truly great.

Time Sig/meter

This is a nice app. But like other apps I've tried, there seems to be on way to change the meter on just a single bar or pattern within a song.I hoped that maybe I was just not finding the right button...

To me being able to change the meter of a bar or pattern is almost just as important as everything else they've included in this software.I don't understand why they were would leave that out. It can't be a cost issue. Maybe there's an update or something.
