"I love the spirit behind the concept. Definitely taking advantage of what can be designed these days. The fact that the controls have influence on each other makes for an extremely wide range of possible textures." -Geoff White "A lot of the musical automata apps out there sound like cheap cheese. This is gourmet cheese." -MuzikAppJunkie Pepp opens up the joy of electronic music making to everyone. Thanks to an intelligent rythm and harmony engine, no musical knowledge is needed. Pepp is immediate, intuitive and vastly musical by nature. Make electronic music like there's nothing to it! Pepp is very easy to use yet it can produce a vast range of sounds. Forget about boring factory sounds. Come up with your own mindbending loops in no time, store them in memory slots, mix them live and jam with your friends. Tweak all parameters to the extreme without destroying your original loops. This twisted groovebox/arpeggiator/synthesizer lets you quickly forge original electronic music using sixteen sliders and a sixteen step sequencer. Instantly save and recall your ideas without missing a beat. With 160 memory slots you're not likely to run out of storage.
