Ratings and Reviews
Sounds wicked.
The drum machine in particular is spectacular.
Great app... However
Ok so this app is fantastic, great sound quality, awesome versatility on the synth and love how the whole thing fits together.
However, what would put it a cut above the rest is to in some way work in triplets and quintuplets directly into the sequencers of both the synth and drum machine (perhaps some sort of dragable patch that you can size to fit over any number of the current 16 slots and select the number of notes that you wish to divide them into). This is probably possible already using the synth controls however it is difficult and limiting to do so. If this was achieved it would allow for relatively easy to create cross rhythms and blow the other apps out of the water.
Other than that other things would be; an easier way to change time signature and a way to do this within one piece/project, and perhaps a way (or ways) to morph from one section/block of music to another (perhaps some sort of cross fade) as currently your number of available blocks get used up to create transitions that may only be used once.
I have no idea whether or not these things are possible but if even one of them could be achieved then it would add to an already fantastic app and push it towards being far more malleable and versatile. Something which I believe the iPad is all about.
All that said, this really is a fantastic app.
