Neu ?

Hi Isy66, we get many compliments about our sound packs from other users. Sorry to hear you don’t like them, I guess it’s a matter of taste. Did you know you can import and record your own sounds into Triqtraq? That would solve your problem wouldn’t it? Connect your device to iTunes, browse to the Triqtraq app in the app list and drag in your samples (wav 16-bit, 44khz). Recording of your own sounds is also possible, if you’d like to learn how I suggest reading the manual.
Incredible app. The developers have really created something special
Buy it now.

Not that limited..
Super cool but...
Thank you.
Simple, quick & easy beat making
This app is a great way to capture ideas, but I could definitely see someone using it to make a full beat. The only problems are that you’re limited on FX, and there’s no keyboard. But I didn’t expect this to be a full fledged DAW - it’s not supposed to be.
For only $10 CAD, it‘s well worth the price and I wouldn’t have minded paying a bit more. It’s sad to see it’s been abandoned, though. The last update was released 1 year ago, so I hope I don’t encounter any major bugs.
Really? No audible metronome?
Response from developer
Hi there, it’s a design choice not to include a metronome. I takes about 2 seconds to build a click track on each 1/4 note with the step editor if needed (select a range by sliding over the monitor in step edit mode). This can be done with any sound of your liking, rather than some generic metronome sound. Triqtraq gets a lot of praise for the UI in particular, but as with everything I guess you can’t please everyone.
Amazing
Also great for coming up with new ideas.
Very nice! No analogue!
For the right creatives this is a joy to use
Love. Pure love.
Koala’s sample editing features are very quick and handy for finding the right chop.
If you want to get into iOS sample-based music production, you can’t go wrong by picking up Triqtraq along with Koala. Too many people are missing out on Triqtraq’s laid-back genius workflow.
Great app, FAST customer service!

Super Groovy, Deceptively Simple
Great!

Hi, we’re not sure what the issue is you encounter. Please get in touch via contact@triqtraq.com so we can sort it out!
So much fun
Very Limited, but Totally Awesome
While this app has its share of limits (and it is quite limited), it’s still a lot of fun. Which is important because I don’t see my phone replacing my laptop anything soon. It’s nice to be able to jam out a quick beat using my own packs without putting too much effort into loading samples.
Also, the copy of Ableton Live 10 Lite makes this one of the unsung heroes of the App Store. It’s a shame more people aren’t talking about this app; it’s probably the first thing you should buy if you have both a laptop and an iPhone/iPad and you want to get into music production.
Not Worth The Money!
I was looking forward to recording my own sounds on my phone and just making a chill beat right then and there, but there’s no way to make a beat that would even remotely sound like the idea in my head.
Some of the specific limitations:
1. As I mentioned before, a strict 1-bar, 4/4 loop with 16th note subdivisions.
2. You can run 4 tracks at once (pretty standard), BUT each track only has 16 “beat slots”. There’s only one sound per beat slot, so a track alone can’t be layered.
3. There is no keyboard. You can change the pitch of a sound, but it uses a slider with is weird, finicky, and clunky. Maybe if you are trying to make strictly drum beats with no synth progression then you wouldn’t mind this. Regardless, the melodic support is very poor.
4. The tempo only goes as low as 59 bpm. I know a lot of songs aren’t that slow, but 55 bpm is not an unheard of tempo. I find that just a very high minimum. Also the tracks have a strange function of half, 1.5, and double speed. Which leads into my next point...
5. The half, 1.5, and double speeds are a cheap and round-about way to justify the limit of a 16th subdivision versus just making a way to change the subdivisions. Doubling allows for a 32nd note, but it halves the number of notes you can have whereas an option to change the subdivision would not pose this problem. Oh, and I struggle to see the point of a 1.5 speed. Speed should be allocated to purely the tempo.
Overall, it’s cheaply made and poorly designed. It’s not intuitive, and it is EXPENSIVE for how basic the structure is. I know I’ve already said it twice, but the ONLY OPTION is a 1 BAR, 4/4 loop. That is soooo limiting to what a musician can do! It offers no real area for even a basic chord progression or melody. Find another app, and DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
EDIT:
I want to thank Zaplin Music for their quick response to my review. It speaks volumes that they want each customer to enjoy their product in full. I’ll look again at the app, and I may potentially edit my review in full as it appears I have not used all of its features to their fullest extent. For now, I’m bumping up my review a star for their quick and thoughtful response; excellent customer service.

Hi SwimmingMan, sorry to hear you don’t get along with Triqtraq. The app indeed has a few limitations, but these were chosen with care and within these there are almost endless ways to make a 16 step loop sound interesting. You can set different loop lengths per channel, which along with the variable loop speed can result in polymetric and -rhythmic patterns. You can also set different lengths for each automation recording. This way your simple 4/4 loop can become an always changing, never sounding the same pattern. Combine that with the possibility to chain up to 16 patterns in the Queue (which basically can make your loop up to 16 bars long), and you are able to produce an endless amount of pattern variations in a very short time. Once you get the hang of the pitch fader and its scale setting melodies can be written quite easily too. This is indeed not an app that lets you play melodies in a conventional way. The interface of Triqtraq has been praised for being intuitive, with limitations that make you get things done fast, while the more advanced features like Loop Range give you a great amount of flexibility. Of course this doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. I would still suggest to read the manual, watch the videos on our website and give it another shot. Cheers
No longer looks like a child’s game!
Really great new look & added functionality, again, THANK YOU!
