### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-05-28*

To be honest, I thiught it was all a waste of creativity, but no. Remaking ‘Schoolhouse Trouble,’ a song by mystman12, CEO and founder of ‘Basically, Games!,’ just wasn’t a bad idea. I only had to use a few more tracks than four. The visualizers are awesome, comtrols for the song are so awesome, it’s polished all the way. Thank you, mate, for making this application for making BBiEAL songs in Pixitracker and for making original songs alike. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Fun and fast workflow

*2025-10-05*

Extremely fast workflow that makes it surprisingly easy to build an idea quickly. Letting you place samples anywhere in the sequencer grid and each horizontal lane acting as a choke group is clever and makes creating beats fun.

Try it out! 😎

### 4/5 — PixiPack problem

*2025-09-17*

when i open a pixipack it changes to a song that uses that pixipack
