Minor Bugfix.

User reviews

Poor UX

Unfortunately, I had to reach out to Support to get sound from any track. For example, I had to select an instrument before any sound would come out and this was unintuitive (3 clicks too many in non-obvious places)

When I add a new track, it was nearly impossible to find how to make both tracks at the same time.

Selecting the instrument you want to chord palette to play with was also impossible.

Selecting multiple chords to duplicate as group; calling them verse or chorus or bridge (would be the first things I would’ve thought of) were also not possible.

Great idea for (identifying which chords will go well together, based on a scale given in a song) but poor execution when it comes to actually building songs.

In need of a user experience designer, so that what was obvious developers is also obvious as the rest of the world.

Connectivity

Could u guys enable a feature to allow project files to be transfered from iPhone to Mac
Not just the midi files?

A metronome would really help this app.

Ideas would be easier to flesh out. Klimper helps when I have an idea for a chord progression on my morning commute, but it would really be nice if I can get a base for an entire track whenever inspiration strikes. I feel a metronome would make that easier.

Absolute trash

This is by far the worst music app I have ever used. Customer service is non existent and with each use, there’s a higher degradation of performance.

Good!

I will make my own Minecraft music disc :D
There are a few hard to explain and annoying bugs though
