A Treasure

It’s a Euclidean sequencer, it has Braids built-in, really smart MIDI and performance capabilities, and that is scratching the surface. You can do a LOT in the standalone, and the AUv3 really asserts itself as a powerful player in a mix in your mixer or daw. Hardly a day goes by that this doesn’t help me to be creative. It rewards careful learning and patience at first, but once I got used to it, I want to use it in every mix. The approach to pitch, a sort of control-voltage approach, is probably the most challenging aspect, but it makes it more “modular” and there are enough piano rolls.

Gets better every time I use it… enjoyment is infinity squared

I used this app and was blown away. I used it the next day and found more things that blew me away. It has been like that every day since. Some apps challenge you and poke you into new ways of thinking and creating. I could live for a thousand years and never feel like I had fully explored the possibilities but I would know I had a marvellous time trying.
I have numerous sessions that I have saved and I can load them up and blend them in to whatever new jam I have just created. An eternal jam that never sounds the same twice.

Really powerful ..

This strokes is a brilliantly designed and thought out groove-unit.
And sound quality is high quality. Really excellent.
It’s a bit like some sort of Elektron device, but at a fraction of the price.
Highly recommended
Also the developer is very helpful. Top banana!

Amazing piece of kit!

From rhythm to synthscapes, midi sequencer to modulation mayhem, rigid structure to wild performance, all so cleverly realised - this is a beast of such flexible and creative possibilities - I can’t recommend it enough.

UI color

adding a few UI color options, light blue, bright orange, lime green would look really good. Just a thought….great work!
