User reviews

Does not work as AUv3. Stand alone only and saying it’s basic is being nice

Warning. This does not work in AUM or Cubasis. In both it just shows a euclidean circle,4 “instruments” , a sync button that does nothing, a preview button and bpm slider and a random button. Only way to make noise is to hit the preview button. You cannot change most of anything.
Everything else is stand alone only. The visuals are basic at best. I would have asked for a refund but I waited a day to try it, so refund timed out 😤
