(Landscape). My ipad has a stand which make it horizontal, it can’t be vertical ans so i can’t use the app… if i just put it on floor my neck will suffer I have many neck problems… ### 5/5 — This developer is Legendary. *2024-04-14* The creator of the legendary Chords rom for DMGb ### 4/5 — Cool tracker but please add horizontal support! *2021-11-29* I like this but could really use horizontal support for both iPad and iPhone. Superior to Nanoloop! ### 5/5 — Updated - 2021! *2021-01-16* Brilliant chip tune tracker! ### 1/5 — Broken *2020-05-23* This does nothing on iPad anymore, as Mr Sigth’s other apps are phenomenal and great value I’m not fussed about the two quid, consider it a thanks for your other work. ### 5/5 — brilliant design,nice added effects *2016-10-09* i am sooo glad i came back to this app after a break. i love the smart design on turning ipad to change menus. love the bitcrush and delays.. obvious nanoloop comparison however this sounds different .i have all of devs apps and love elsa,nils,strng and the all revamped shapesynth sounds great.simple yet effective interfaces on each of his apps makes them all classic ios apps..works great ios 10 with ipad mini3 ### 1/5 — You broke it *2016-03-23* App is hung on the load/save screen ### 2/5 — Only 4 sounds? Crashes? *2016-03-04* I can't figure out if this app does more than I think it does or if it just has 4 pre-canned voices (one is a drum). Also, plugging in a MIDI keyboard (Korg NanoKey2) plays a single note and then crashes every time. I hear good things about this developer's apps, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Also appears buggy and limited in tonal flexibility. ### 5/5 — Highly Recommended *2014-04-30* very unique and excellent tracker. definitely has a character of its own. even if you're new to trackers, I'd highly recommend this app. ### 3/5 — Bags of potential... Still needs work *2013-09-12* The developer should be proud of this so far, but it needs better instructions and navigation. Looks great but the styling makes it hard to use. I get stuck on the arpeggio page and can't get out. Still, happy I made the investment - could be a really solid app in the future... ## Frequently asked questions about Sinusoid ### What kind of music can I create with Sinusoid?
